The present invention relates to a protective exterior shade/luminaire provided with a thread base cover and a protective canister with light-distributing thread to protect light bulbs installed in ceramic bases/sockets against weather, dust, water, shock and to provide longer life and better appearance of the light bulbs, for use in the home, in industry and in general. The thread of the base cover and the protective canister ensure a secure assembly in a firm manner and prevent the theft of the light bulb and its parts. The protective covers eliminate the need to remove the ceramic bases/sockets, because the protective exterior shade/luminaire is placed between the light bulb and the ceramic bases/sockets.

An underwater lighting system includes a light housing. The light housing includes a weighted base having a bottom surface with a bottom edge and a cover. The cover and the weighted base cooperate to define a cover interior. The cover interior is waterproof. The light housing also includes a light source positioned within the cover interior. The underwater lighting system is configured to prevent a fishing lure or cast net from snagging on the underwater lighting system.

The present disclosure relates to a method of manufacturing a tamper proof light emitting module comprising the steps of (a) pre-assembling the light emitting module into a testing configuration including a housing and one or more light emitting elements mounted within the housing, the housing including first and second housing components connected together using at least one removable fastener connecting the first and second housing components; (b) testing the light emitting module to confirm the light emitting elements are operable; (c) after step (b), removing the removable fastener; (d) replacing the removable fastener removed in step (c) with at least one breakaway fastener; and (e) tightening the breakaway fastener(s) until the head of the breakaway fastener(s) breaks off so that the breakaway fastener(s) is no longer removable, thereby creating a final, tamper proof configuration of the light emitting module.

A luminaire that can resist the shock associated with a ballistics event and continue to operate. The luminaire has a base formed from high ductility aluminum. An illumination source, such as a light emitting diode array, is secured to a support of the base. A lens having a gasket is positioned over the illumination source and secured thereto with a clamp. A ballistic shield having a dual gasket is coupled to the clamp by a bezel positioned over the ballistic shield and secured to the clamp. The gaskets extending around the peripheral edges of the lens and the shield cooperate with the highly ductile aluminum base to reduce the transmission of any shock associated with a ballistic event to the illumination source and associated electronics.

A theftproof lamp (100), including a lamp body (110) and a lamp cap (120). A spring member (140) and a ratchet wheel mechanism (130) are provided inside the lamp for cooperating with each other and enabling theftproof effect. When turning the lamp clockwise, the lamp can be screwed down to a lamp socket. When turning the lamp counter-clockwise, the lamp can only make repetitive circular motions around the ratchet wheel and therefore achieve the theftproof effect. When a user needs to remove the lamp in a safe way, a bolt (170) can be moved inwardly to block the spring member from moving upward, so that the lamp body, ratchet wheel and lamp cap form a whole, without any movement in relation to each other, and therefore allowing easy removal of the lamp.

A luminaire including a housing, a light emitter supported by the housing, and a cover removably coupled to the housing, where the cover includes a lens substantially covering the light emitter. An end cap is removably coupled to the housing and positioned substantially flush with the lens. A coupling mechanism couples the end cap to the housing, where the end cap substantially covers the coupling mechanism while coupled to the housing.

A first protrusion protruding from an upper lighting cover is fitted into a first installing portion provided in a cover and a second protrusion protruding from the upper lighting cover is inserted into a first hole provided in the cover. In a case where disassembly is performed from this state, disassembly can be accomplished by breaking a first breaking portion provided around the first installing portion. In a case where reassembly is performed from this state, the second protrusion protruding from the upper lighting cover is fitted into a second installing portion provided in the cover.
