The light fixture includes a body, a plug component secured to the body and an electric lamp secured to the body and coupled to the plug component to receive electrical power delivered thereto. The fixture-holding component includes a stanchion and an electrical conductor. The stanchion has a base end and a top end, the base end being secured to the base such that the stanchion extends upwardly when the base is disposed on the ground, and the top end being releasably secured to and supporting the light fixture. The electrical conductor extends from the stanchion, adjacent the top end, and terminates in a first plug component releasably mated with the plug component of the light fixture for delivering electrical power thereto.
