Abstract: A simple and economical outdoor electric lighting fixture whose housing is made of polyvinyl chloride. The fixture includes a U-shaped fluorescent lamp; a socket for the lamp; a 120 volt transformer; a flanged circular base plate supporting the socket and transformer; a polyvinyl chloride cylindrical housing having at its center an interior annular ring supporting the base plate; a polyvinyl chloride cylindrical post supporting the cylindrical housing; a cylindrical frosted lens surrounding the fluorescent lamp and resting on the flange of the base plate; and a domed end cap fitted over the upper end of the cylindrical lens.

Abstract: An economical and rugged lighting fixture designed particularly for dock-side use. The fixture's major components include a funnel-shaped main housing of polyvinyl chloride having a cylindrical upper end and a cylindrical lower end of reduced diameter; a main housing extension of polyvinyl chloride having the same diameter as the lower end of said main housing and having an annular ring projecting frm its inner wall; a hollow cylindrical housing sized to fit into the upper cylindrical end of said main housing; a U-shaped fluorescent lamp; a socket for said lamp; a 120 volt transformer; a circular socket mounting bracket sized to fit snugly onto the annular ring of the main housing extension and carrying the fluorescent lamp socket and the transformer; a dished reflector surrounding the lower end of the lamp and whose outer edge is secured between the lower end of the cylindrical housing and the flared wall of the main housing; and a flat circular transparent lens bonded to the upper end of said main housing.

Abstract: An improved and simplified lighting fixture designed for rugged outdoor use and whose housing is made of polyvinyl chloride. The fixture's major components include a cylindrical housing of polyvinyl chloride having an annular ring projecting from the center of its inner wall; a U-shaped standard voltage fluorescent lamp; a socket for said lamp; a 120 volt transformer; a hollow cylindrical housing extension of polyvinyl chloride whose outer diameter is slightly less than the inner diameter of said housing and which is fitted into the lower end of said housing; a flanged circular base plate sized to fit snugly into the lower end of the housing extension and carrying on its upper surface the fluorescent lamp socket and the transformer; a dished reflector surrounding the lower end of the lamp and secured against the annular ring of said housing; and a flat circular transparent lens bonded to the upper end of said housing.

Abstract: An electric lighting fixture for outdoor use having a generally cylindrical housing of polyvinyl chloride with concentric outer and inner walls and an annular flange projecting from the center of said inner wall, a first cylindrical spacer ring whose lower end rests on the annular flange within the housing, a circular lens sealed to the upper end of the first spacer ring, a low voltage lamp within said housing having a circular outer edge with a diameter slightly less than the inner diameter of the housing, a second spacer ring having an outer diameter slightly less than the inner diameter of the housing, a cup-shaped base plate having an axial hole in its bottom, and an electric power line passing through the end connected to the low voltage lamp, the outer edge of the lamp lying between the annular flange of the housing and the second spacer ring and the upper edge of the base plate resting against the lower edge of the second spacer ring.

Abstract: A fluorescent lighting fixture designed for outdoor use and constructed mainly of polyvinyl chloride. The fixture includes a cylindrical housing made entirely of white high density polyvinyl chloride with an annular ring projecting from its inner wall, a U-shaped standard voltage fluorescent lamp, a socket for said lamp, a circular base supporting said socket and resting on the ring of the cylindrical housing, a retaining ring resting on the upper edge of the circular base, a closed-ended tubular transparent diffuser resting on the upper edge of said retaining ring, a pair of flexible O-rings encircling the lower open end of said diffuser for securing the diffuser within the housing, a circular rear bushing, and a power line passing through a hole in the base plate for energizing said lamp. The U-shaped fluorescent lamp is sealed within the housing by the two O-rings and the closed-ended tubular diffuser.

Abstract: A low voltage lighting fixture designed for outdoor use and constructed mainly of polyvinyl chloride. The fixture includes a cylindrical housing made entirely of white high density polyvinyl chloride, a 12 volt lamp, a lens, a pair of rubber O-rings, a lens, a lens retaining ring made of polyvinyl chloride, a circular rear base plate, and a power line passing through a hole in the base plate for energizing said lamp. The lamp is sealed within the housing by the two O-rings, the lens and the retaining ring.
