Photoelectric device with a lens formed in its housing

A photoelectric device, comprising

• a one piece housing structure having a closed end and an open end, said housing structure being generally cylindrical, said closed end being light transmissive and shaped to form at least one lens;
• a photoelectric component disposed in the said housing structure;
• and
• a cover shaped to be received in said open end of said housing structure, said cover being disposed in fluid sealing association within said open end;
• a means for conducting an electrical current into said photoelectric device, said conducting means being connected in electrical communication with said photoelectric component.

A photoelectric device, comprising:

• a one piece housing structure, said housing structure comprising a generally cylindrical portion with a first end and a second end, said first end being an integral portion of said cylindrical portion, said second end being an opening of said housing structure, said first end being light transmissive and shaped to form at least one lens;
• a photoelectric element disposed within said housing structure, said photoelectric element being disposed in optical communication with said first end;
• a cover shaped to be received in said second end, said cover being disposed in fluid sealing association with said opening;
• and
• means for conducting an electrical current between said photoelectric element and an external device, said conducting means being connected in electrical communication with said photoelectric element.
