Shielded, photo-actuated, direct current outside lamp

A photo-actuated, direct current lamp suitable for use on the exterior of travel trailers, motorhomes, and recreational vehicles, comprising:

• a light-shielding, waterproof lamp housing having a narrow, light-admitting first opening therein and a light-transmissive cover,
• mounted within said lamp housing, a photoreactive control circuit comprising a photosensor connected on a first side to a direct current power source and to the collector of a transistor and on a second side to the base of said transistor, a capacitor connected to the emitter of said transistor, a relay connected to the emitter of said transistor, a diode connected to an output of said relay, said diode being connected to a light bulb, said relay being connected at its common pole to said direct current power source, and said light bulb, said power source, and said relay being connected to a common ground,
• said photoreactive control circuit being mounted within said lamp housing, and said photosensor in said photoreactive control circuit being aligned with and immediately adjacent said first opening in said lamp housing, and
• said first opening being sealed with a transparent, electrically non-conducting, waterproof sealing material.
