Abstract
The flexible wire leads of several unbased miniature lamps are welded or soldered end to end in series to form a lamp string that has one end electrically connected to a rigid center wire extending upwardly from the center foot terminal of a lamp base so that, with the base fitted on a spherical or other rounded transparent bulb, the lamp string connection to the rigid wire will be near the central longitudinal axis at the opposite end of the bulb. With the other end of the lamp string held stationary, the base is twisted within the bulb to expand the lamp string, which is folded in a flat S-shape to fit through the narrow tubular base opening in the bulb, until the lamps are each positioned within the bulb at locations displaced from the central axis and inner concave reflecting surfaces. This insures myriad reflected lamp images that give the visual impression of many more lamps with greater apparent illumination though requiring only a few watts of energy.
