Abstract
An extension cord connector construction wherein the connector components, including a visual power indicator, are encapsulated within a solid, light-permeable body to form the connector. By suspending the components in this manner, the lamp can be seen from a wide range of viewing angles. Furthermore, the body of the connector acts as a shock absorber or cushion which limits the damaging effects of mechanical stresses and improves the structural integrity of the connections within the connector.
