A socket (11) for a discharge lamp bulb includes two power supply terminals, and a shielding wall for completely shielding the two power supply terminal from each other when a discharge lamp bulb is not properly seated in the socket (11). In different embodiments the socket (11) includes (FIGS. 2-5) a spring biased reciprocatably mounted cylindrical wall (24) to separate power supply terminals (21, 23), a (FIGS. 6, 7) center contact (21) mounted for reciprocation between a recessed position and an operating position in response to lamp insertion, a (FIGS. 9-14) rotary sliding member (34) or a rotary ring (40) both of which are spring biased to a blocking position and movable to a non-blocking position by lamp insertion into the socket, and a (FIGS. 16, 17) rotationally mounted member (47) having a plate (50) for separating power supply terminal segments (23b, 23c) prior to complete insertion of the lamp.
