ABSTRACT:
A lamp having a base, a light assembly and wiring therefor includes a terrarium lower bowl of transparent material forming a part of and projecting from the base and terminating in an annular rim to define an open end. The lower bowl is adapted to hold soil material and growing plants. An upper bowl of transparent material is open at its lower end and formed with an inset annular flange bearing against and extending into the lower bowl annular rim with the upper bowl supported upon and forming a continuation of the lower bowl. An annular bead upon the interior of the lower bowl rim is adapted to receive the corresponding externally grooved portion in said flange for securing the upper and lower bowls together. Another method of fastening the bowls together includes a pair of spaced internal latches which extend through apertures adjacent the lower end of the upper bowl with internal portions of said latches adapted to retainingly engage an annular lock flange upon the interior of the lower bowl rim. A wire enclosing support tube is coaxially mounted within the lower bowl and extends to the open end thereof. A wire enclosing tube extension is coaxially mounted within the upper bowl and extends adjacent the lower end thereof for cooperative interlocking registry with the support tube. The wiring for the lamp includes a first wire in the extension tube terminating in a prong at the lower end thereof, and a second wire within the support tube terminating in the socket upon the end thereof for cooperative engagement with said prong connector.
