A lamp in the shape of a brick and adapted for placement between bricks in a driveway or on roads, having an outer case, an electric bulb housing mounted in the case, a bulb socket supported on the bulb housing and a translucent lens formed of a high strength plastic mounted on the top of the bulb housing. In a preferred embodiment the unit comprised of the bulb housing and lens is removably mounted in the case by means of latching members, e.g. in the form of elongated screws attached to such unit and having lower threaded ends, and resilient blocks mounted adjacent the inside walls of the outer case and a threaded member, e.g. a nut, positioned in the resilient blocks for receiving the lower ends of the screws for locking or releasing such unit to remove same from the case replacing a bulb in the bulb socket or for cleaning the screws in combination with the resilient blocks permit expansion and contraction of the bulb housing-lens unit while in locked position. The bulb housing has an upper reflecting surface facing the lens. For installation between bricks, e.g. in a driveway, the lamp is inserted between adjacent bricks and mortar is placed in the space between the lamp and adjacent bricks. Holes for receiving outwardly protruding pins can be provided in the sides of the lamp case for embedment of such pins in the mortar between the lamp and adjacent bricks to lock the lamp in position between bricks.
