Abstract: The present invention provides a plastic support, for an electric lamp and for the enclosure for that lamp, which is resistant to flame, heat, cold, water, ice, sunshine and other natural environmental conditions; and that support makes it possible to eliminate the traditional metal mounting pan, length of metal pipe, and securing fittings. As a result, the support of the present invention can directly engage a wall rather than engage a metal mounting pan which must engage that wall, and the flexible conductors from the socket can be given a random orientation from that socket to the power-supplying conductors in the wall instead of having to assume the fixed orientation imposed by the use of a length of metal pipe. This means that the conductors can be shorter than normal; because of the elimination of the depth of the metal mounting pan, and also because the wires assume orientations comparable to hypotenuses rather than orientations resembling the altitudes and bases of triangles.
