METHOD AND LIGHT ENCLOSURE WITH JACK THROUGH LENS

摘要

Method and apparatus for supplying external power through a sealed light enclosure that includes a lens portion and a back portion, a first electrical connector mounted through the back portion; a light source inside the enclosure connected to the first electrical connector such that when electrical power is applied to the first electrical connector, the light source illuminates. A second electrical connector has a connection interface exposed on the outer face of the lens portion, wherein the second connector is electrically connected to the first electrical connector, optionally through a series-connected fuse. The second connector is mounted on the back portion and sealed to the lens portion. Some embodiments include a rubber plug that can be plugged into the second connector to keep moisture out, wherein the plug includes an indicator light for indicating whether power is available through the second connector (i.e., that the fuse is not blown).

主权项

1. An apparatus comprising:
an enclosure for a light, the enclosure including: a lens portion and a back portion, wherein the lens portion has an inner face and an outer face; a first electrical connector mounted to the back portion; a primary light source inside the enclosure connected to the first electrical connector such that when electrical power is applied to the first electrical connector, the primary light source illuminates; and a second electrical connector having a connection interface exposed on the outer face of the lens portion of the light enclosure, wherein the second electrical connector is electrically connected to the first electrical connector, and wherein the second electrical connector is sealed to the lens portion of the light enclosure.
