Abstract
A hydraulically operated retractable light fixture is disclosed particularly adapted for decorative landscape lighting applications, lighting walks and pathways, and exterior area lighting applications. A retractable hollow member carrying a light bulb is disposed to retract into a hollow body which can be buried in the ground or mounted to exterior wall or ceiling surfaces. A hydraulic line is attached to the housing for forcing the retractable member out of the housing when lighting is desired. Various modifications are shown for creating special lighting effects.
