Patent ID: 7329023

Claim:
An electrically powered low-power illumination apparatus for mounting to a building surface, comprising: a hollow mounting device securely placed within a hole formed in the building surface such that the mounting device is contained within the hole, wherein the internal surface of the hollow mounting device is threaded; a mounting spigot having a hole through which an electrical wire may extend and adapted to be removably secured to the mounting device, wherein the external surface of the mounting spigot is threaded such that the mounting spigot may be threaded into the hollow mounting device; a socket for accepting a light bulb, the socket being electrically connected to an electrical wire; a connection means for connecting the socket to the mounting spigot; and a hollow housing for housing the socket at the distal end such that access to the socket is provided and such that the electrical wire extends from the socket, through the housing, through the hole in the mounting spigot through the hollow mounting device and to an external electrical power supply in a continuous fashion such that electrical power may be supplied directly to the socket; wherein the internal surface of the hollow mounting device is threaded and the external surface of the mounting spigot is threaded such that the mounting spigot may be threaded into the hollow mounting device.
