Abstract: Apparatus for use in retaining a lamp in a housing include a member having a central opening, a first sidewall facing the central opening, a substantially opposing second sidewall facing away from the central opening, a front wall extending between the first and second sidewalls and a substantially opposing back wall extending between the first and second sidewalls. A plurality of spaced apart through holes passing through the member from the front wall to the back wall are provided. Each of these through holes include joined first and second openings. The first opening is located closer to the first sidewall and the second opening is located closer to the second sidewall. These members are particularly useful in combinations in which a lamp is located at least partially in a lamp housing. A member, as noted above, is provided in close proximity to the lamp face, for example, by fastener assemblies, to reduce the risk of the lamp falling from the housing, for example, during extreme storm conditions.
