Yes but we can only speculate what happened. My speculation: most of the power went through the light and only a part of it shocked the OP.

  I'd agree, and not being connected to a good ground helped.

  this is nonsense, and potentially deadly nonsense at that

    I'm sorry what? You think it's nonsense that the lit lightbulb had more power going through it than the person touching the socket?
    • kragen 4y ago
      surely the light was dissipating more power, yes, but this was offered as a potential explanation for the fact that the person getting shocked only got a mild shock, a fact to which it has no causal connection whatsoever
      • Dylan16807 4y ago
        It's not an explanation but it's directly connected to the explanation. Calling the whole thing nonsense, without elaboration, is confusing at best.
        • kragen 4y ago
          no, it's utter nonsense from someone who is confusing power with current and has potentially fatal incorrect causal models about current
