Abstract: A wide beam floodlight fixture by which the light from a lamp bulb that radiates light in all directions away from its axis, directs that light in a wide well defined beam. The fixture comprises a housing with a transparent front wall, and opposite opaque top, bottom and side walls. A curved reflector in the rear of the fixture housing embraces the lamp bulb and directs its light out of the transparent front wall. The top and bottom walls of the fixture have aligned access ports through either of which the lamp bulb may be removed and replaced. A socket housing removably attached to the bottom wall of the fixture housing closes the bottom access port and has the socket for the lamp bulb base shock-resistantly mounted therein. The access port in the top wall of the fixture housing is closed by a removable cover, from the underside of which a flanged ring is resiliently supported to embrace the upper end portion of the lamp bulb.
