  • Patent number: 11209148
    Abstract: A security lighting system for a perimeter fence includes a plurality of light fixtures. Each light fixture has a lower end secured to a vertical fence post, an upper end including a low voltage LED for generating light, an extension tube extending from the lower end of the light fixture to the upper end of the light fixture for locating the low voltage LED above top horizontal fence pipes of the perimeter fence, and a light directing element covering the low voltage LED for directing light generated by the low voltage LED in a downward direction toward the ground. Low voltage electrically conductive wiring interconnects the light fixtures to low voltage current provided by a power source. The low voltage electrically conductive wiring is strung along the top horizontal fence pipes and is exposed as it extends horizontally between the light fixtures at the top of said perimeter fence.
