The inventive concept is directed to shock free bulb socket that is inserted in an existing light bulb socket to forego any possible electric shock when there is no light bulb in the existing bulb socket and the electric switch happens to be in an “on” status. The insert socket is a housing that is placed over the existing socket and fastened thereto. The insert socket consists of a lower threaded segment that is threaded into the existing socket. There is an upper threaded segment that will receive the light bulb. When the light bulb is threaded into the upper segment it will encounter a plate there below and will cause the upper threaded segment to slide upwardly together with a bracket to which it is attached. There is a sliding hot prong and a sliding neutral prong which will make contact when the bracket moves upwardly and will convey electric current to the light bulb. When the light bulb is removed, springs return the bracket to its original position and the contact between the prongs is discontinued and no shock can be experience when a finger is placed into the light socket.
