The frame has a cavity defined by a base and an upstanding structure defining an upper perimeter edge. A component cavity venting system includes a drainage chamber in communication with the cavity through a communicating port. The drainage chamber has an ingress opening. A drain opening is isolated from the communicating port, to allow drainage from the drainage chamber, while substantially preclude the passage of a fluid through the drain opening, into the drainage chamber and through the communicating port into the cavity. The venting cap extends over the ingress opening of the drainage chamber, substantially sealing the same. The electrical assembly includes a power supply and at least one LED light assembly, positionable within the cavity. The light transcending cover extends over the cavity of the frame about the upper perimeter edge, and structurally configured to permit at least some of the light generated by the LED light assembly to be directed therethrough. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A canopy light comprising: a frame having a cavity defined by a base and an upstanding structure defining an upper perimeter edge, and a component cavity venting system including a drainage chamber in communication with the cavity through a communicating port, the drainage chamber having a ingress opening, a drain opening isolated from the communicating port, to allow drainage from the drainage chamber, while substantially preclude the passage of a fluid through the drain opening, into the drainage chamber and through the communicating port into the cavity; a venting cap extending over and substantially sealing the ingress opening of the drainage chamber; an electrical assembly including a power supply and at least one LED light assembly, positionable within the cavity; and a light transcending cover extending over the cavity of the frame about the upper perimeter edge, and structurally configured to permit at least some of the light generated by the LED light assembly to be directed therethrough; wherein the upstanding structure defines a polygonal configuration, with a corner incline surface positioned in each corner of the polygonal configuration, each corner incline surface angled between 10° and 80° relative to a projection of the base, with the at least one LED light assembly mounted on each of the corner inclined surfaces. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The canopy light of claim 1 wherein the drainage chamber is defined in part by the upstanding structure, so as to be integrally formed with the frame. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The canopy light of claim 1 wherein the polygonal configuration defines a rectangular configuration. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The canopy light of claim 1 further comprising a reflector positioned between the frame and the light transcending cover. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The canopy light of claim 1 wherein the component cavity venting system further includes a lower passageway formed into the base of the frame which is placeable in fluid communication with the communicating port. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The canopy light of claim 5 wherein the communicating port extends through the upstanding structure. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The canopy light of claim 6 wherein the drainage chamber includes an end wall, and opposing side walls, wherein the drain opening is defined in the end wall. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The canopy light of claim 1 wherein the frame is formed from a single monolithic cast member. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The canopy light of claim 1 wherein the light transcending cover is adhered to the frame about the upper perimeter edge. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The canopy light of claim 1 wherein the venting cap comprises an elastomeric member having an adhesive applied thereto. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The canopy light of claim 10 wherein the elastomeric member comprises a foam adhesive member. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The canopy light of claim 1 wherein the frame includes a conduit entry opening defined in the base thereof, the conduit entry opening further including an elongated channel extending away from a back surface of the base. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The canopy light of claim 12 wherein the venting cap extends about the elongated channel of the conduit entry opening. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The canopy light of claim 1 wherein the frame further includes a perimeter drainage structure extending about the upstanding structure. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The canopy light of claim 14 wherein the drain opening is a first drain opening and the perimeter drainage structure comprises an outer fascia, which, cooperatively with the upstanding structure defines an inner trough, with a second drain opening extending through the outer fascia. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The canopy light of claim 15 wherein the outer fascia further includes a plurality support fins extending inwardly within the inner trough. ### Claim 17 (depends on 1) The canopy light of claim 1 wherein the base further includes a plurality of cooling fins extending outwardly from a back surface thereof. ### Claim 18 A canopy light comprising: a frame having a cavity defined by a base and an upstanding structure defining an upper perimeter edge, a perimeter drainage structure extending around the upstanding structure, and a component cavity venting system including a drainage chamber in communication with the cavity through a communicating port, the drainage chamber having a ingress opening, a first drain opening isolated from the communicating port, to allow drainage from the drainage chamber, while substantially preclude the passage of a fluid through the first drain opening, into the drainage chamber and through the communicating port into the cavity; a venting cap extending over and substantially sealing the ingress opening of the drainage chamber; an electrical assembly including a power supply and at least one LED light assembly, positionable within the cavity; and a light transcending cover extending over the cavity of the frame about the upper perimeter edge, and structurally configured to permit at least some of the light generated by the LED light assembly to be directed therethrough; wherein the perimeter drainage structure comprises an outer fascia, an inner trough defined by the outer fascia and the upstanding structure, and a second drain opening extending through the outer fascia to direct water in the inner trough through the second drain opening.
