ABSTRACT:
A lighting system mountable to a support surface comprising a mounting bracket and a light housing having a lens attached thereto and a bulb located the lens. A photo control is also include which has a gradient of decreased opacity which controls the duration of operation of the light by adjustably limiting the amount of light sensed by the control. In addition, a shield located between the bulb and the lens may be provided. The shield is positionable about the bulb to selectively block light emitted by the bulb.
The mounting bracket has a first support and a second support and the housing is adapted to releasably engage the supports in a sequential manner whereby when the first support is engaged, the housing is pivoted about the first support until the housing is in engagement with the second support. The housing then coacts with the second support so that it is secured to the mounting bracket in a fixed manner.
