An exterior lighting device based on a light emitting diode in conjunction
with an optic fiber is disclosed. The device has a cylindrical housing
having a closed end and an open end. The light emitting diode is placed
on the interior of the on the closed end of the cylindrical housing. A
clear lens having one end in proximity with the light emitting diode and
an opposite end with a flat surface is provided. A top cap is installed
over the open end of the cylindrical housing. The top cap forms a water
tight seal with the cylindrical housing using O-rings. A retaining plate
is held in place between the top cap and the cylindrical housing. The
retaining plate is locked with the flat surface of the lens thus holding
the lens in place over the light emitting diode. An optic fiber has a
receiving end held by the retaining plate in proximity to the light
emitting diode and an opposite emitting end extending from a socket in
the top cap. A coupling assembly sits in the socket in the top cap and
holds the optic fiber in relation to the top cap.
