Water resistant lighting fixture

A lighting fixture comprising:

• an elongated base extrusion, the elongated base extrusion have a flat base portion with a groove extending along opposing longitudinal, marginal edges and a pair of upright walls extending perpendicularly away from the flat base portion and extending along opposing longitudinal edges inboard of the longitudinal grooves;
• a pair of end caps on opposing ends of the elongated base portion, each of the end caps extending between and engaging the upright walls along opposing marginal edges of the end cap and with the flat base portion engaging the end cap along the marginal edge between the upright walls with the marginal edge opposite the flat base portion curving away from the flat base portion between opposing upright walls;
• a gasket that extends along a longitudinal surface of the upright walls, the gasket disposed on a side of the upright walls opposite the flat base portion and on an outside surface of opposing upright walls and also across the curved marginal edge of the end caps between opposing upright walls;
• a lens extending between opposing end caps and conforming to the curved marginal edge, the lens overlapping and resting on the gasket on the curved marginal edges and upright walls, the lens having a notch extending along a marginal edge parallel to the upright walls;
• and
• a pair of side rails extending in a longitudinal direction between the end caps, the rails each having transverse projections extending outwards from opposing longitudinal edges, the projection on a first edge of the opposing longitudinal edges engaging the groove of the base plate and allowing the side rail to pivot in the groove and the projection on the second opposing edge engaging the notch on the lens tightening the lens into contact with the gasket to form a water tight seal between the lens and the side walls and the lens and end caps.

A lighting fixture comprising:

• an elongated base extrusion, the elongated base extrusion have a flat base portion with opposing longitudinal edges folding up and back towards a center of the base portion, the folded edges forming a groove extending along the longitudinal edges and a pair of upright walls extending away from the flat base portion along opposing longitudinal edges inboard of the longitudinal grooves;
• a pair of end caps on opposing ends of the elongated base portion, the end caps oriented perpendicular to the flat base portion, the end caps each having a rectangular portion and a semicircular portion extending from the rectangular portion, the rectangular portions engages opposing ends of the flat base portion and upright walls along a marginal edge of the rectangular portion where the semicircular portion extends from the rectangular portion on a side opposite the flat base portion, the semicircular portion forms an arc between opposing corners on one side of the rectangular portion and between outside corners of the upright walls;
• a gasket that extends along an outside, top surface of the upright walls and across the semicircular portions between opposing upright walls;
• a lens extending between opposing semicircular portions on opposing ends of the elongated base portion and conforming to the semicircular shape of the semicircular portions, the lens overlapping and resting on the gasket on the semicircular portions and top surface of the upright walls, the lens having a notch extending along a marginal edge parallel to the upright walls;
• and
• a pair of side rails coextensive with the upright walls, the side rails extending in a longitudinal direction between the end caps, the rails each having transverse projections extending outwards from opposing longitudinal edges, the projection on the first edge engaging the groove of the base plate and allowing the side rails to pivot in the groove and the projection on the second opposing edge engaging the notch on the lens tightening the lens into contact with the gasket to form a water tight seal with the lens along the upright walls and semicircular portions.
