Light tube

A water tight connector has a strain relief using a circumferential clip about a cable and held in position within a hollow tubular section of a connector housing. The clip is prevented from being removed from the connector housing by a resilient grommet, thus holding the cable from being pulled out from the connector housing; and the grommet provides both fluid sealing functions and secondary cable holding functions. The connector may be filled with a grease. The grease may have anti-bacterial characteristics. The connector may be filled with an hygroscopic material, such as an encapsulant.

A resettable switching apparatus for selectively interrupting a circuit connecting power from a first terminal to a second terminal when a ground fault occurs. The apparatus may be manually or electrically set. However, the contacts are held by a permanent magnet in the closed position such that no current is required. When a ground fault is detected, a current is generated to force the contacts to the open position.

There is provided an improved lamp bulb guard having a circular tubular body portion, an inwardly flared portion and a circular tubular neck portion. Circumferentially spaced ventilating towers are provided. Each tower has a top portion, a front wall portion, and side wall portions. Vertically extending slots are provided, and each slot is protected by a baffle located radially inwardly thereof.

An electrical connector comprises a body defining a chamber. Electrical elements are carried by an insulating part located in said chamber. The body has an integral molded construction of resilient material and includes a generally tubular portion. An opening is provided in the end wall for an electrical cable to extend therethrough into the chamber for connection with the electrical elements. A clamp means is provided for clamping the electrical cable prior to its entry into the chamber. The clamp means comprises a clamp part and means for securing the clamp part to the insulating part. Threaded fasteners are provided which extend into threaded engagement with the clamp part. The electrical connector has means for preventing an axial compressive clamping of the body between the insulating part and the clamp part. This means comprises a portion of one of the parts for engaging the other of the parts and blocking engagement of the other of the parts with the body so that a compressive action does not occur to the body which would cause bulging thereof.
