A lighting system and components are described for a lighting assembly, including a socket having a socket body and an electrical connector with a seat in the socket to seal around a light source. The socket is preferably configured to be independent of the mounting arrangement for the lighting asse

A lighting system and components are described for a lighting assembly, including a socket having a socket body and an electrical connector with a seat in the socket to seal around a light source. The socket is preferably configured to be independent of the mounting arrangement for the lighting assembly. An insulator is also disclosed for a lamp such as a fluorescent lamp having a body which protects the contact on the lamp so as to form a recessed lamp conductor. The combination of a socket and lamp insulator is also disclosed for providing a socket and insulator assembly for reducing the possibility of injury or damage due to high open circuit voltage, environmental effects and the like. Additionally, a lighting assembly is disclosed incorporating the insulator, socket and mounting arrangements.
