Claim:
A lighting fixture comprising: an elongated base, the elongated base have a flat base portion with a slot extending along opposing longitudinal, marginal edges of the base portion and a pair of mutually parallel upright walls extending away from and perpendicular to the flat base portion, the pair of upright walls extending along opposing longitudinal edges of the flat base portion inboard of the longitudinal slots; a pair of end caps with a first marginal edge of each of the end caps engaging opposing ends of the elongated base portion, with opposing marginal edges of the end caps directly adjacent the first marginal edge engaging the upright walls and with the marginal edge of the end cap opposite the flat base portion curving away from the flat base portion between opposing upright walls; a gasket that extends along a longitudinal surface of each of the upright walls opposite the base portion and facing away from the other upright wall and also across the curved marginal edge of the end caps between opposing upright walls; a lens extending between opposing end caps and conforming to the curved marginal edges of the end caps, the lens overlapping and resting on the gasket of the curved marginal edges and upright walls, the lens having a notch extending along a marginal edge parallel to the upright walls; and a pair of side rails extending between the end caps, the rails each having transverse projections extending outwards from opposing longitudinal edges, the projection on a first edge engaging the slot of the base plate and allowing the side rail to pivot in the slot and the projection on the second opposing edge engaging the notch on the lens tightening the lens into contact with the gasket to form a water tight seal between the lens and the side walls and the lens and end caps.
