The lens member, made of resilient material, is of sufficient flexibility that it can be pressed past the raised projections and be lodged in the slots. A gasket is interposed between the lens member and the annular step. The slots are so dimensioned that the raised projections press against the lens and the gasket to retain the lens in the slots and additionally seal the interior of the housing from the outside environment.

Abstract: A light device which is capable of generating a very diffuse light emission and, thus, avoids emission of a beam-light or a concentrated light. The device is highly effective as a personnel location indicator or decorative architectural item, since there is effectively no significant light beam. The light device is preferably designed for ground mounted use so as to serve as an indicator of a desired movement path or the like. The light devices comprises an outer housing with a source of light mounted within that housing. One of unique aspects of this lighting device is that it relies upon a fiber optic cable section which functions as a lens or filter through which light from the light source will pass. As the light passes through this lens, it becomes highly diffuse and, therefore, does not generate a light beam or source of concentrated light, as such. Rather, it merely generates a light at a ground level or other surface in which the device is mounted.

The shell is placed over the base with the peripheral flanges of the base and the shell disposed in an overlapping arrangement. Stakes are inserted through aligned apertures in the flanges of the shell and base to fix the luminaria on the ground. A decorative sleeve is replaceably mounted about the sidewall of the shell.
