ABSTRACT:
The improved landscape lighting device suitable for use indoors and outdoors. It is particularly adapted to have the lower end thereof placed in a hole in the ground for low level landscape lighting. A lamp, preferably of the sealed beam type, is releasably held within a flexible, resilient, cylindrical, elastomeric gasket having a sidewall defining an open upper end and open lower end. The inner surface of the gasket is grooved to releasably grip the periphery of the lamp. The exterior surface of the gasket has a plurality of spaced, outwardly extending lugs, preferably in the form of fingers or elongated cylinders, protruding therefrom, which lugs frictionally engage the interior surface of a generally cylindrical, weatherproof housing. The housing has a sidewall defining a central space within which the gasket is disposed. The housing has an open upper end and open lower end. The lugs permit the gasket to be pivoted and tilted in the space, while retaining the lamp in the space, so that the light beam from the lamp can be directionally oriented at will for optimal lighting. The open ended housing and gasket allow water readily to drain therefrom without shorting out the lamp. The lamp is suspended in the housing adjacent the upper end thereof and that upper end is preferably cut away in an arc to facilitate emission of light therefrom, and also to provide a ground-anchoring lip when the tube is inverted.
