An all-weather cold-cathode lighting assembly comprising a series of elongated cold cathode lamp sections electrically interconnected and arrayed in a predetermined geometric configuration having a first end, at least one intermediate bend, and a second end; a series of spaced lampholders including single-socketed endmost feed lampholders supporting the first and second ends of the array and intermediate double-socketed lampholders supporting and electrically connecting adjacent intermediate end portions of the intermediate lamp sections; a weather-proof lens assembly comprising a plurality of elongated transparent or translucent thermoplastic housing sections having walls of generally inverted U-shaped cross section, said housing sections being arrayed congruently with and substantially enclosing said series of lamp sections; said lens housing sections being butted and adhesively joined with clear cement to establish an effectively unitary lens having said predetermined geometric configuration.
