ABSTRACT:
The light fixture of the invention comprises a housing defining an interior space with an open end and a socket for supporting a lamp bulb to shine a beam out of the open end. A lens fits over the open end and closes the housing and the lens retaining ring engages the lens and secures the lens to the housing to seal the interior space. A plurality of drainage ducts are formed in the lens retaining ring and communicate with an outer face surface of the lens to receive and drain water away from the lens and prevent water accumulation and obstruction of the beam. A flange on the retaining ring cooperates with the housing to form a groove surrounding the open end which receives a glare shield ridge for securement of the glare shield without additional fasteners. Unique compression disks limiting sealing structure seal the open end of the housing as well as the housing interface with an adjustable arm. One embodiment of the light fixture utilizes an end cap which is sealed with similar compression disk limiting structure.
