Referring to
In the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the housing 2 and the body 3 are connected with each other by a threaded connection, which is stably fixed therebetween without affecting the overall appearance of the LED light.
In the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the first seal 12 is an elastic plastic element and sandwiched between the base 11 and the second end 13b of the connecting portion 13, thereby the leak tightness between the base 11 and the connecting portion 13 can be ensured. Simultaneously, the first seal 12 is provided to avoid the external moisture from the base 11 enter the connecting portion 13 to corrode the internal wire of the connecting portion 13, thereby poor internal connection performance of the LED light is avoided. So, the LED light is waterproof which can not only be used in dry environment, but also can normally work in humid environment, thereby it is more widely used and more popular in the market.
In the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the mounting member 1 is provided for mounting the LED light on the external structure and supporting the rotation of the rotating shaft 131 to ensure the body 3 also rotate with the base 11. When the LED light is mounted on a fixing device (not shown), the light angle of the body 3 can be still adjusted so that the mounting member 1 can achieve a variety of installation modes such as a horizontal installation, a vertical downward installation, a vertical upward installation and an inclined installation, thereby the implementation of the vertical installation, the horizontal installation and the inclined installation makes the installation of the LED light more convenient and more suitable for the environment.
In the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the slot 23 is designed for providing a rotation space to the connecting portion 13. After fixing the mounting member 1, because of the rotation function of the rotating shaft 131, the angle of the body 3 can be manually adjusted so that the light angle of the LED light is also adjusted. The connecting portion 13 can rotate in the slot 23 with an rotate angle between 0 degree and 90 degree, thereby the adjustable angle of the body 3 is also between 0 degree and 90 degree. When the connecting portion 13 is rotated to resist against the supporting portion 24, the angle formed between the body 3 and the mounting member 1 is 0 degree. Otherwise, when the connecting portion 13 is rotated to resist against the bottom of the slot 23, the angle formed between the body 3 and the mounting member 1 is 90 degree. That is to say, when the connecting portion 13 is rotated to resist against the bottom of the slot 23, the body 3 is perpendicular to the mounting member 1.
In the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the base 11 includes four first inlets 110 arranged on a side surface at interval and a second inlet 111, and the side surface of the base 11 is cylindrical.

The plurality of tarpaulins 112 is provided for respectively fastening with the four first inlets 110 and the second inlet 111 to further improve the waterproof performance of the LED light, and make the appearance of LED light more beautiful. Each of the four first inlets 110, the second inlet 111 and the plurality of tarpaulins 112 defines thread, thereby the connection therebetween the four first inlets 110, the second inlet 111 and the plurality of tarpaulins 112 is more stable via threaded connection.
In the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a pair of symmetrical ears 113 is set at the bottom of the base 11, thereby the force applied on the LED light is uniform after the LED light is installed.

In this way, the sleeve 134 can protect the rotating shaft 131 from excessive wear, and increase the damping of the rotating shaft 131, thereby the body 3 can stop in any angle between 0 degree and 90 degree rather than in the endpoint values. The sleeve 134 is an insulative sleeve.
Furthermore, a pair of overline slots 1340 is respectively formed on two sides of the sleeve 134 along an axial direction of the rotating shaft 131 and inclined to the axis of the rotating shaft 131.

An electrical connection is formed between the power supply 22 and the outer conducting wire set in the base 11 by the wire 135, the overline slot 1340 is inclined to receive the wire 135 therein. When the rotating shaft 131 and the sleeve 134 rotate, the wire 135 is followed to rotate. Thus, the overline slot 1340 is necessary to reserve a certain sufficient space to facilitate the outer wire 135 rotating in the overline slot 1340. In other embodiments, a wiring hole can be designed for tranvelling the wire 135.
Furthermore, the connecting portion 13 further includes a second seal 136, a third seal 137 and a fourth seal 139 connected between the mounting portion 21 and the first end 13a of the connecting portion 13.
