ABSTRACT:
An lighting apparatus comprising an elongated tubular housing for snugly receiving therein a charged gas light source, such as, a neon lighting assembly. A power source is connected to the light source by electric power cords which pass through one of two endcaps removably secured to the ends of the housing. The light source includes at least one elongated glass tube containing a neon gas mixture having both ends of the tube bent back along itself such that the ends are secured within the housing away from the open housing ends. Alternatively, the housing can be comprised of a base and cover member slidingly received within the base, thereby forming a central opening therebetween for receiving therein the light source, wherein the side walls of the base and cover member substantially overlap for preventing electricity from passing therethrough.
