ABSTRACT:
A stern light assembly adapted for mounting on boats and the like including an extendible support structure, the support structure including a plurality of tubular members telescopically positioned one within another, each of the tubular members being telescopically slidably engaged with at least one other member whereby the members can be moved between a first condition wherein the support structure is in an elongated extended condition and a second collapsed condition thereof, a lamp unit having electrical connections associated therewith mounted at one end of one of the tubular members, a power fitting having electrical connections associated therewith mounted adjacent to the opposite end of another of the tubular members, and a resilient normally contracted coiled electrical cord contained within the tubular members, the coiled cord having connections at one end thereof for connecting to the electrical connections of the lamp unit and at the opposite end thereof for connecting to the electrical connections of the power fitting, the coiled cord having an unstressed length that is approximately equal to the length of the support structure in its collapsed condition. The present assembly is adapted to replace existing stern lights on boats and includes various arrangements for both limiting the extendibility of one tubular member relative to another and for holding and maintaining the respective tubular members relative to each other at locations intermediate the first and second conditions thereof.
