ABSTRACT:
A lantern is provided that comprises a case having a plurality of walls defining a case interior. The plurality of walls includes opposing front and rear walls. A lighting port is formed through the front wall and a faceplate assembly is disposed in the case interior in substantial registration with the lighting port. The faceplate assembly is disposed so that it engages a portion of the front wall surrounding the lighting port to seal the lighting port. A solid-state illuminator assembly is disposed in the case interior in substantial registration with the faceplate assembly and in contact with the faceplate assembly. A bracing arrangement is disposed intermediate the solid-state illuminator assembly and the rear wall. The bracing arrangement is in contact with the solid-state illuminator assembly and is configured to restrict rearward movement of the solid-state illuminator assembly and the faceplate assembly.
