The base of a lightbulb, the part that looks like a giant screw, connects the filament inside the light to the circuit. The center of the very bottom will connect with the ungrounded conductor (hot) and the screw part itself will connect to the grounded conductor (neutral). The black part between the two insulates them from each other.
