The inside wall has an aperture spaced from the opening. The cover includes a generally rigid inner arm for positioning inside the flexible inside wall of the housing enclosure and a generally rigid outer arm for positioning between the inside and the outside walls of the enclosure. The inner and outer arms define a tortuous passage therebetween for insertion thereinto of the inside wall of the housing enclosure.

The cover may include a heat sink.
