a socket having a cavity, wherein the socket provides electrical current to a LED bulb having a base portion, wherein the base portion is encased inside the cavity; a biasing member having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end contacts the socket and is configured to push the LED bulb into the heat dissipating feature; a base member having a seat configured and sized to accept the second end of the biasing member, and a channel allowing the passage of electrical wires through the base member to the socket. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A lighting fixture comprising: a hollow body member having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the hollow body member includes a heat dissipating feature at the distal end; a socket having a cavity, wherein the socket provides electrical current to a LED bulb having a base portion, wherein the base portion is encased inside the cavity; a biasing member having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end contacts the socket and is configured to push the LED bulb into the heat dissipating feature; a base member having a seat configured and sized to accept the second end of the biasing member, and a channel allowing the passage of electrical wires through the base member to the socket; the socket has a pair of grooves and the base member has a pair of holes allowing dog points from two socket head cap screws to pass through the pair of holes into the pair of grooves, wherein the dog points are in a sliding engagement with the pair of grooves preventing the socket from rotating and ensuring the socket is aligned properly to prevent twisting of electrical wires. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The lighting fixture of claim 1, wherein the hollow body member is cylindrical. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The lighting fixture of claim 1, wherein the hollow body member is constructed from a thermal conducting material, including but not limited to a metal. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The lighting fixture of claim 1, wherein the biasing member is a coil spring. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The lighting fixture of claim 1, wherein the base member is configured to swivel. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The lighting fixture of claim 5, wherein the base member is rotationally connected to a connection member and a first O-ring is positioned between the base member and connection member to provide a watertight seal. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The lighting fixture of claim 1, wherein the proximal end of the body member includes internal threads configured for engagement with external threads on the base member, and a second O-ring is positioned between the body member and base member to provide a watertight seal preventing water from damaging electrical components. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The lighting fixture of claim 1, further comprising a lens member and a shade member attached to the distal end of the body member to provide a desired lighting effect. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The lighting fixture of claim 1, wherein the base portion of the LED bulb includes bi-pins, and the base portion and bi-pins extend integrally from the LED bulb, wherein the base portion and bi-pins are encased in the cavity to prevent the bi-pins from breaking off the base portion. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The lighting fixture of claim 9, wherein the socket includes a side hole located on a side wall of the socket, the side hole configured to receive a single socket head cap screw to align the socket with the bi-pins of the base portion. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The light fixture of claim 1, wherein the heat dissipating feature is a flange located on a distal end of the body member.
