Abstract
A draining lamp base/husk assembly includes an elongate lamp base member and an elongate husk member configured and dimensioned to receive coaxially and telescopically therein (and to release therefrom) a portion of the lamp base member. A drainage passageway, integral in part with the lamp base member and in part with the husk member, enables the communication of liquid intermediate ends of the assembly when the members are in a coaxial and telescoped disposition. Preferably, the lamp base member defines an exterior longitudinally extending groove on an outer surface thereof, and the said husk member defines an interior longitudinally extending groove on an inner surface thereof. The exterior and interior longitudinally extending grooves are radially aligned and cooperatively define the drainage passageway over a common longitudinally extending length of the exterior and interior grooves.
