ABSTRACT:
A low voltage light fixture (10) including a bulb/lens assembly (12) mounted atop an integral post/stake assembly (14). Post/stake assembly (14) includes a hollow tubular portion (20) and a ground stake portion (22). A preferred post/stake assembly (14) is formed from a single piece of plastic, and consists of a pair of elongate legs (94, 96) which are joined to a female adapter (90) through the use of a pair of "living hinges" (100). To assemble post/stake assembly (14), it is merely necessary to draw legs (94, 96) together until a pair of locking fingers (104) extending from leg (94) engage a pair of slots (110) formed in the other leg (96). Light fixture (10) also preferably includes a unique internally ribbed lens which includes a large plurality of internal side ridges (114) and a smaller plurality of top ridges (116). An improved light fixture (10) also preferably includes a pair of integral bulb contact/prong elements ( 84) and provides for aesthetic customization by allowing the selective removal of one of the louvres (32).
