Abstract
A light assembly includes a C-shaped body defined by a top plate extending between two legs, and LED light provided within the body, and a battery also provided within the body. Each of the legs of the core may define a clamping member projecting from a corresponding one of the legs towards the other one of the legs, and each clamping member having a V-shaped cross-section.
Claims21
A deck light assembly for attachment to a deck railing, the deck light assembly comprising:
- a body having a generally C-shape including a top plate extending between a first leg and a second leg and defining a lower surface for engaging the top surface of the deck railing;
- a battery and an LED light disposed at least partially within the body;
- a first clamping member having a generally V-shaped cross-section with a top portion extending from said first leg generally inwardly toward said second leg and generally downwardly away from said top plate to a knuckle, and with a bottom portion extending generally downwardly from said knuckle and generally outwardly toward said first leg;
- and
- said body including a cover overlying said first clamping member and presenting an uninterrupted outer surface;
- and
- wherein said body includes a core, and wherein said core defines an interruption in each of said legs, and wherein said first clamping member is disposed in one of said interruptions.
