ABSTRACT:
A light assembly for outdoor purposes utilizing a supportive and corrosion protective housing allowing below grade placement. Individualized lamp and electrical component assemblies are separately sealed from water infiltration and are located within the housing with electrical connections provided by submersible rated cable and connectors. A potting material in the lamp assembly encapsulates the electrical wires which are further surrounded by a solid soldering compound barrier. A closure assembly separately seals the electrical components using a mounting base, a harness and a potting body which form one body through molding of the potting body about the remainder of the elements. A harness assembly wicking barrier is employed which further isolates the transformer from water infiltration. Bare metal strips forming conductors are encapsulated in the potting material. A face ring with slotted openings permits air flow and water entry into the housing for cooling the lamp assembly. A junction box that is separately sealed and located within the housing allows external power into the light assembly and acts as a grounding source.
