Abstract
A lamp having a threaded base for threadedly coupling to an electrical energy source is provided. The lamp includes a light-generating bulb replaceably coupled to the threaded base and a housing coupled to the base. The housing has an inner light-directing surface disposed about the bulb. The housing terminates at an outer rim, and defines an opening. A mounting assembly, including a lens-holding ring with a keeper and a latch hook on the sidewall, removably mounts a lens on the rim in a covering position closing the opening, whereby removal of the lens permits access to the bulb. The lens holding ring may be separable from the housing or may be pivotally coupled to a ring on the housing.
