The present invention relates to an optical component holder (1) for assembling a lighting device (20), the optical component holder (1) comprising at least one flexible flap (5) being attached to an edge portion (4) extending substantially in a transversal plane. The at least one flexible flap (5) comprises a locking snap-fit arrangement (6) and a releasing portion (9). The optical component holder (1) further comprises a housing connection (10) for attaching the optical component holder (1) to the lighting device (20) and a releasing element (12) for releasing the locking element (11). The locking snap-fit arrangement (6) comprises a contact surface (6) facing the edge portion (4). The lower portion (8) of the locking snap-fit arrangement (6) is movable between a locked position and an unlocked position in the longitudinal plane.

LED related lighting methods and apparatus are described. Various features relate to water tight light fixtures. Some of the fixtures are spotlights while other fixture are intended for in ground use. The light fixtures in at least some embodiments include power control features. In spotlight embodiments beam angle and power or light output can be controlled without opening the light assembly or compromising the water tight seals which also protect against dirt. In ground embodiments support tilt angle setting which allow a user to set the light fixture to one or more tilt angles. Beam angle can also be changed in some embodiments as well as power control. Beam angle, power control and tilt angle adjustments are supported in some embodiments but need not be supported in all embodiments with some embodiments using one or more of the described features but not all features.
