POST CAP LAMP

A molded plastic cap, for a fence-type post, formed of a hollow body having a downwardly opening post socket formed integral with the lower end thereof. The socket is shaped to snugly receive the upper end of a post for mounting the cap thereon. The upper end of the socket extends a short distance upwardly, within the body, and is closed by a horizontal wall having a central opening. An electrical bulb receiving socket is positioned within the post socket, with its upper end abutting said wall. A lamp bulb arranged within the body, above the upper surface of the wall, has a base extending through the wall opening and threadedly engaged with the bulb socket to secure the bulb socket within the cap. Vertically extending, inwardly opening channels are formed on opposing side walls of the post socket and electrical wire is arranged within each channel and connected to the bulb socket base portion, so that the bulb socket is held against turning or twisting within the post socket by means of the wires engaged within the channels, as well as by the upper end of the post abutting the lower end of the bulb socket.
