ABSTRACT:
A lamp assembly has a holder having a cup-shaped seat having an inner surface and a backwardly directed end and a socket engageable in the seat. This socket is formed with a forwardly open recess adapted to fit around a base of a bulb, an outer surface, a rear end formed with a flange having a forwardly directed face confronting the holder back end, an annular compartment formed in the rear end, a forwardly open front passage opening into the compartment, and a rearwardly open back passage opening into the compartment. Thus a fluid, water or moisture-laden air, can pass from inside the assembly through the front passage, then through the compartment, and finally through the back passage to outside the assembly. Contacts extending through the socket have outer ends adapted to be connected to wiring and inner ends exposed in the recess and engageable with a bulb therein. Formations between the socket and the holder retain same together. An O-ring is compressed between the flange face and the holder end and between the holder inner surface and flange outer surface.
