ABSTRACT:
A submersible tail light assembly for a boat trailer. The tail light assembly includes an outer housing having an open outer end that is enclosed by a tail light lens. A transparent capsule having an open inner end is sealed to the wall of the housing, and a bulb socket that carries a light bulb is mounted on the inner wall of the housing and is located within the capsule. The electrical leads connected to the bulb socket extend through an opening in the lower portion of the inner wall of the housing. In some cases the housing may also have an open side enclosed by a side marker lens and a side marker bulb socket and bulb are mounted in the housing in alignment with the side marker lens. When the trailer light is submerged in water during launching of a boat, air is entrapped within the capsule preventing water from rising in the capsule to the level of the bulb socket and bulb. The bulb can be conveniently replaced by removing the lens and capsule from the housing.
