Security lighting systems having offset brackets and rapidly deployable and reuseable low voltage security lighting systems

A security lighting system for a fence having a plurality of fence posts, said security lighting system including a plurality of security lights mounted to said fence posts, each said security light comprising:

• a light module having an LED adapted to generate light;
• a hat overlying said LED for reflecting the generated light;
• a junction box having an interior compartment containing an LED driver for controlling operation of said LED, said junction box including a front end having a front opening and a rear end opposite said front end;
• a front cover plate covering said front opening, wherein said front cover plate is removable for accessing said interior compartment of said junction box;
• an extension tube having an upper end secured to said light module and a lower end secured to said junction box;
• a clamp assembly coupled with said rear end of said junction box for securing said junction box to a fence post;
• and
• an offset bracket positioned between said rear end of said junction box and said fence post for spacing said junction box away from said fence post which, in turn, spaces said hat from said fence post;
• wherein said offset bracket comprises a leading end in contact with said rear end of said junction box, a trailing end in contact with said fence post, first and second lateral support ledges that extend between said leading and trailing ends of said offset bracket, a top surface extending between said leading and trailing ends of said offset bracket, and a bottom surface extending between leading and trailing ends of said offset bracket, said top and bottom surfaces of said offset bracket defining a first thickness, and said first and second lateral support ledges of said offset bracket defining a second thickness that is less than the first thickness;
• wherein said rear end of said junction box has a concave surface and said leading end of said offset bracket has a convex surface that conforms to said concave surface of said rear end of said junction box;
• wherein said trailing end of said offset bracket has a concave surface that conforms to an outer surface of said fence post;
• a central opening extending from said top surface to said bottom surface of said offset bracket and located between said leading and trailing ends and said first and second lateral support ledges of said offset bracket, wherein said central opening of said offset bracket is surrounded by said leading and trailing ends and said first and second lateral support ledges of said offset bracket;
• wherein said first and second lateral support ledges define respective first and second bolt receiving notches that extend between said first and second lateral support ledges and said bottom surface of said offset bracket, and wherein said first and second bolt receiving notches extend along the sides of said offset bracket;
• a securing bracket in contact with said fence post;
• a pair of threaded bolts passing through openings in said securing bracket and being threaded into a pair of threaded bores provided at said rear end of said junction box, wherein said threaded bolts pass through said first and second bolt receiving notches extending along the sides of said offset bracket that are defined by said first and second lateral support ledges.
