Abstract
A lamp retrofitting assembly decorates a ceiling lamp having a bulb socket and a socket thread design to receive a threaded electrical contact surface of a light bulb therein. The lamp retrofitting assembly includes a socket extender having a male threaded electrical contact surface to threadingly engage the socket thread and a female threaded electrical contact surface that receives the threaded electrical contact surface of the light bulb. The lamp deflector is removably securable to the socket extender. The lamp deflector includes an inner circumference defining an extender hole and an outer circumference. The lamp deflector also includes an uninterrupted deflecting surface extending between the inner and outer circumferences. The lamp deflector receives the socket extender within the extender hole. A retainer is securable to the socket extender. The retainer retains the decorative lamp deflector to the socket extender.
