A housing for a light assembly comprising:
- an outer housing having:
- a first end configured to be positioned at or below a ground level or wall surface when installed;
- a second end opposite the first end;
- a sleeve portion between the first end and the second end, the sleeve portion having an inner surface;
- a ledge;
- and
- an outer housing axis extending through the first and second ends of the outer housing;
- and
- a collar movable in a direction that is parallel to the outer housing axis between a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration, the collar having a slot and a contact surface, the slot being sized and shaped to receive a mating structure of a body of the light assembly at least when the light assembly is placed within the outer housing so as to prevent the light assembly from rotating relative to the collar, the contact surface being configured to contact the ledge when the collar is in the locked configuration so as to prevent both removal and rotation of the body relative to the outer housing,
- wherein the collar and the light assembly are rotatable in concert with each other relative to the outer housing when the collar is in the unlocked configuration and the mating structure is received within the slot.
