Abstract
An electric lighting support assembly includes an elongated hollow tubular arm having a plurality of circumferentially and axially spaced wall portions, an electric light supported on the arm, wiring connected to the electric light and running through the arm, an entry aperture for receiving an electric power supply line into the arm at a first of the wall portions, an access opening for gaining access to an electrical connection between the electric power supply line and the wiring in the tubular arm at a second of the wall portions spaced from the first wall portion, and a cover removably attached to the arm at the second wall portion thereof so as to overlie and close the access opening in the arm such that the cover can be removed and reattached without affecting the electrical connection between the electric power supply line and the wiring. The tubular arm has opposing top and bottom sides and opposing lateral sides. The first wall portion which contains the entry aperture is preferably located on the top side of the arm, whereas the second arm portion which contains the access opening is located on one of the lateral sides or bottom side of the arm.
