Abstract
An improved floatable lighting assembly includes a base with a central concave wall that can face a liquid surface and a peripheral portion extending around the concave wall. A shell is constructed so as to extend from the peripheral portion to form a chamber around the concave wall that provides the lighting assembly with buoyancy. A lamp has a lower light-emitting portion and an electrical contact portion. The electrical contact portion is disposed in an interior region formed by the concave wall. A heat shield is disposed between the shell and the lamp. Electrical wire is electrically connected to the contact portion of the lamp. Structure in the base directs electrical wire from a lower portion of the base into the liquid. The electrical cable includes a loop strain relief member for preventing the cable from pulling away from the structure during use of the lighting assembly.
