A boat light is especially adapted to be mounted upon the transom or stern of a cabin cruiser, speedboat, small yacht, or the like. A holder for a lamp unit has a spherically curved outer surface engaging a complementary inner surface of a housing attachable to the hull of the boat. The holder is universally adjustable to selected angular positions of adjustment relative to the housing. In a typical adjustment, the beam of the lamp unit may be projected horizontally despite the inclination of the transom from the vertical. In the selected position of adjustment, the tightening of screws by which the device is assembled and mounted on the transom is effective to preserve the lamp unit holder adjustment. This occurs when a shield closing the inner end of the housing is caused to bear against a rearwardly projecting surface of the holder. The holder, or at least the shield-engaging surface thereof, is of a deformable material. The shield, when the screws are tightened, deforms and flattens the holder material to bind the holder frictionally against the shield, thus to preserve the selected adjustment.

A boat light, especially adapted for mounting on the transom of a boat, comprising: (a) a housing including a skirt having a curved inner surface; (b) a shield closing the housing at one end; (c) a lamp unit holder in the other end of the housing, said holder having an outer surface curved correspondingly to and movably contacting the inner surface of the housing, whereby said holder may be adjusted to selected angular positions relative to the housing; (d) a lamp unit carried by the holder; and (e) means for affixing the housing to the hull of a boat, the shield engaging the holder against movement from each position to which the holder is adjusted, the holder being formed, at least in the area in which it is engaged by the shield, of a material adapted to be compressibly deformed into a tight frictional contact with the shield.
