ABSTRACT:
A conductive element for a low voltage outdoor light fixture including a body having first and second ends; a wire piercing element proximate the first end of the body, the wire piercing element extending out of the wire support surface; a light bulb mount proximate the second end of the body; at least one ear protruding from the body, wherein each of the ears forms an aperture with the body, the aperture opening towards the second end of the body. Also disclosed is a method of assembling a low voltage outdoor light fixture including providing a head unit defining an interior volume and a first wire support surface, the head unit including two openings extending between the interior volume of the cone and the first wire support surface, each of the openings including a shoulder formed within the opening; providing two conductive members, each of the conductive members including a body having first and second ends, a wire piercing element proximate the first end of the body, a light bulb mount proximate the second end of the body; and at least one ear forming an aperture opening towards the second end of the body; and inserting one of the conductive members into each of the openings in the head unit by moving the wire piercing element through the opening to a position in which the wire piercing element extends out of the first wire support surface, wherein the ear on the body of the conductive member interlocks with the shoulder in the opening, whereby movement of the wire piercing elements of the conductive members towards the interior volume of the head unit is prevented.
