TECHNICAL FIELD

The present application belongs to the technical field of light bulbs, in particular to a plastic light bulb.


BACKGROUND

Incandescent lamps have been gradually eliminated by society because they are not environmentally friendly and often provide relatively low color rendering index. As an environmentally friendly material, Light Emitting Diode (LED) can directly convert electric energy into light energy, thus achieving the effect of lighting, and LED has gradually become the mainstream of society.


In the prior art, a plastic light bulb usually needs to be equipped with a bulb socket with the same size as its socket, hence the size of the bulb socket is relatively large, which increase the manufacturing cost of the bulb socket. In addition, although the lamp housing made of Polycarbonate (PC) is also used in the prior art, in order to ensure the blow molding of the lamp housing, the inlet of the lamp housing needs to be made relatively large, which leads to the need to make the base adapted to the lamp housing relatively large, and further leads to the need to make the bulb socket plugged with the base relatively large.
