We use Dow Corning #4 grease on electrical connections that are prone to corrosion.

Nolox or Nolocks (?) grease at most electrical supply houses.

You only want the dielectric grease, like DC-4 or what is used with high voltage ignition wires. You don't want metallic grease like the aluminum conductor grease or the antiseeze grease, they can contaminate the insulation and short out the socket or the lamp.

Definently Dielectric grease. If purchased at NAPA a small tube will cost as much as a large one at Wal-Mart. I have used this on Marine engines, snowmobiles, trucks & tractors. Anything subject to corrosion carrying electricity. The quality seems the same.

I spray the threads of the bulb with WD-40 and let it evaporate. Never have had one seize yet.

there is an electrical grease made just for that, Hardware store should have it. Out poultry house has 130+ screw in lights and we use it on every one. When I bought the place alot of the lights would ruin the socket trying to get out.

I use dielectric grease on everything. bulbs, headlight plugs, both ends of plug wires. Anything outside, just gob it on to keep the water away. Big tube is cheap at walmart.
