1. A water-resistant, push-in type decorative-lighting assembly, comprising:
a reflector defining a reflector cavity;
an LED assembly including a plurality of light-emitting diodes (LEDs);
a pair of conductive connectors electrically connected to the LED assembly, including a first conductive connector electrically connected to a first end of the LED assembly and a second conductive connector electrically connected to a second end of the LED assembly;
a base portion including a body portion, a projection portion projecting from a bottom end of the body portion, and an LED support portion, the body portion defining a cavity receiving a lower portion of the reflector, and the body portion defining a first channel and a second channel, the first channel receiving a portion of the first conductive connector and the second channel receiving a portion of the second conductive connector, an end of the first conductive connector extending out of the first channel and an end of the second conductive connector extending out of the second channel;
a lamp socket defining an upper cavity receiving the body portion of the base portion and a lower cavity receiving the projection portion of the base portion and the ends of the first and second conductive connectors; and
a sealing portion attached to the lower portion of the reflector, the sealing portion including an annular ring connected to a cylindrical portion, the cylindrical portion extending into the reflector cavity while the annular ring remains outside of the reflector cavity and abuts one or more interior surfaces of the body portion of the base portion.
