Abstract
An electrical light has a tubular sheet-metal housing centered generally on an axis and formed with a plurality of angularly spaced, radially inwardly projecting, and radially elastically deflectable spring tongues. A socket in the housing holds a light bulb. A cup-shaped glass lens has a dome formed with a generally cylindrical collar dimensioned to fit into the housing with the dome fitting over a light bulb in the socket. The collar is formed with a plurality of angularly spaced and radially outwardly open L-shaped grooves each fittable with a respective one of the tongues. Each groove has an axially extending and open leg and an angularly extending leg. The angularly extending legs each have an outer flank and an inner flank between the respective outer flank and the dome.
