Some folks think it's a joke like "blinker fluid" or "prop wash". It's not. Actually, I like to put a small dab of petrolatum (Vaseline) on bulbs to keep them from seizing in the socket. Very effective!

Well, it could be dielectric anti-seize so the bulbs won't be stuck when you go to remove them.
Not a bad idea for exterior lights, but probably not necessary.

do not use grease in the sochet or the end point of bulbs when you on the lights it melts the grease.

Lithium...it prolongs the life of the bulb and makes it easier to get it in and out of the socket...

guy above is probably right, dielectric grease is used in for automotive purposes, it maintains a current across a plug-in or socket, prevents water and dirt from breaking a current.

some folks use white lube to make aluminum bulbs and sockets screw in better..mostly old timers just spit on the metal bulb end before screwing it in ..oxidation occurs on aluminum sometimes in storage..the lubrication makes in screw in easier/ or they could be referring to the white lube on exterior flood or spot lights to keep them from losing a good electrical connection in the weather..
