Claims
- 1. A light fixture comprising:
a tank having a base with a parametrically extending sidewall terminating at a rim to define an interior portion; at least one tank extension extending from said base in said interior portion of said tank; a ballast plate attached to said at least one tank extension; an induction light assembly attached to said ballast plate and said tank; an induction lamp operatively connected to said induction light assembly, said induction lamp being positioned on an outer surface of said tank to emit light; and a refractor assembly selectively securable to said tank on said base to enclose said induction lamp.
- 2. A light fixture as defined in claim 1, wherein said induction light assembly further includes:
a frequency generator positioned on said ballast plate for electrical connection to said induction lamp; and a lamp mount heat sink positioned on an outer surface of said base of said tank, wherein said lamp mount heat sink allows for attachment of said induction lamp thereto.
- 3. A light fixture as defined in claim 2, wherein said induction lamp further includes:
a power coupler to create a magnetic field to operate said induction lamp; and a glass bulb covering said power coupler to provide a protective covering for said power coupler.
- 4. A light fixture as defined in claim 3, wherein said refractor assembly is sealably connected to said tank to provide a fluid tight seal.
- 5. A light fixture as defined in claim 4, wherein said refractor assembly further includes a reflector having a first end being removably attached to said tank, and a second opposite end for receiving a removably attached translucent refractor glass.
- 6. A light fixture as defined in claim 5, wherein said reflector is made of a metallic material.
- 7. A light fixture as defined in claim 5, wherein said refractor assembly further includes a gasket seal positioned between said refractor assembly and said tank to provide a fluid tight seal.
- 8. A light fixture as defined in claim 7, wherein said refractor glass is sealably attached to said reflector to create a fluid tight seal to prevent fluid and dusts from contacting said induction lamp.
- 9. A light fixture as defined in claim 3, further including an autotransformer electrically connected to said induction light assembly, and a bracket attached to said interior of said tank and providing a surface for attaching said autotransformer.
- 10. A light fixture as defined in claim 3, wherein said induction light assembly and said induction lamp is a Philips QL Induction Light®.
- 11. A light fixture comprising:
a tank having a base with a parametrically extending sidewall terminating at a rim to define an interior portion; at least one tank extension extending from said base in said interior portion of said tank; a ballast plate attached to said at least one tank extension; a ballast secured to said ballast plate; a lamp mount bracket attached to an outer surface of said tank; an induction lamp operatively connected an electrical source through said tank, said induction lamp being attached to said lamp mount bracket; and a refractor assembly selectively securable to said tank on said base to enclose said induction lamp.
- 12. A light fixture as defined in claim 11, wherein said induction light assembly and said induction lamp is a Sylvania Icetron Light®.
