Abstract: Systems, devices and methods for lighting include a lighting fixture having a first electrical system including a first set of electrical components operable by a first power source located remotely from the lighting fixture. A first light-emitting device is mountable to the housing and energizable through the first electrical system during periods of predetermined levels of light. A second electrical system including a second set of electrical components is operable by a second power source located locally with respect to the lighting fixture. A second light-emitting device is mountable to the housing and automatically energized through the second electrical system during predetermined levels of power from the alternating current power source. And, the first set of electrical components are distinct from and independent of the second set of electrical components. Methods of lighting and reducing energy costs through incorporating the lighting device are also disclosed.

Abstract: An outdoor ground-supported light fixture having a non-conductive hollow staff and having a lower end for disposition in the ground and an upper end where electrical conductor elements are received by the lower end into the staff and where the electrical conductor elements exit the staff from the upper end is disclosed. The light fixture also includes a shade unit having a non-conductive wiring compartment integral therewith. The unit has a top end and a bottom end with the wiring compartment located at the bottom end of the unit. The bottom end of the unit is for connection with the upper end of the staff. The compartment has a base with an aperture therein for receiving the electrical conductor elements from the upper end of the staff through the aperture. The compartment has a lamp receiving device devised for connecting a lamp to the electrical conductor elements.
