ABSTRACT:
A submersible lamp having a standardized air impervious housing with a lens formed therein in optical alignment with a bulb carried within the housing. The housing defines a predetermined quantity of air and has an opening at the lower end thereof such that upon submersion in water a limited amount of water is allowed to enter the housing, trapping the air within the housing and preventing the water from rising above a predetermined level. A channel is formed on the rear wall of the lamp housing to receive a bulb and bulb socket support bracket for the selective mounting and positioning of the bulb within the housing in accordance with the function which the lamp is to perform. The front and rear walls of the lamp housing are each formed with a guide against which a modular lens and reflector unit may be positioned which in combination with a positioning locator formed in the side walls of the lamp housing permit the modular lens and reflecting/refracting unit to be positioned at either side of the lamp housing to function as a rear signal lamp for either the left or right side of the vehicle. The bulb support bracket may be constructed with one or two bulbs for providing the additional function of a sidemarker or clearance lamp as desired.
