Protected sockets have a skirt that extends up higher than on normal sockets.  The neck of a protected lamp is narrow (same width as the screw base) where a regular lamp fairs out above the base.  The narrow neck of a protected lamp will fit into the protected socket where a wider regular lamp won't.

Here shows protected and regular metal halide lamps side by side.  Ya can see how the neck is much narrower.
