Abstract
A light assembly includes a housing with a mounting bracket extending from an upper surface, a circuit board, a light source provided on the circuit board, and a cover with an aperture in a bottom surface for light from the light source to pass through. The housing includes a side wall defining an interior space configured to receive the circuit board, and a plurality of cutouts formed in the sidewall. The cover includes a tab and at least one cap, both extending from the bottom surface of the cover, with the cap extending farther than the tab. The circuit board is positioned in the housing, with the cover closing the interior space such that the tab and cap each coupled to one of the cutouts, the tab and the cutout defining a gap through which wires connected to the circuit board extend, while preventing light from exiting through the cutouts.
