The passage way, the plurality of prongs, and the plurality of conducting wires have a shape to substantially fill the second end of the passage way when the plurality of prongs and the conducting wires are positioned in the second end of the passage way. The shape of the passage way, prongs and conductors are such that the combination of all three form a sealed connection and a sealed end of the lamp socket arrangement.
