ABSTRACT:
A wet niche light having a nonconductive forming shell 14 with a nonconductive housing 16 mounted therein. A double ended lamp is fixed within the housing in sockets which do not retain the lamp in friction engagement but rather hold the lamp by axial compression. A conductive reflector extends over the sockets and is grounded externally. A planar lens having vertical ribs is positioned within a bezel that attaches to the forward side of the housing by means of resilient clips. The nonconductive forming shell includes a conductive ring about the front opening of the shell with a conductor extending rearwardly for coupling with a pool grounding net. The lamp is positioned far enough within the housing such that no direct light from the lamp will strike the surface of the water in the pool at less than the critical angle of total reflection. The interior of the housing includes a lower portion painted in black such that light will not be reflected therefrom to strike the water surface at an angle less than the critical angle of total reflection.
