That's funny. But, it probably has a fused plug to prevent the
fireworks.


Wow. That would make a really spectacular display if all the lamps
were removed then the power was applied! :)

Simpler than that.

The bulb has a blade on the bottom, and it pushes between two metal
blades when you insert the bulb. When the bulb is removed,the two metal
blades touch.

So - either the bulb is inserted, and provides continuity, or the
blades touch, and provide continuity.
