A skirt fitted around a rear opening edge of a lighting fixture, and a sleeve fitted around a bulb socket or a base of a bulb projecting to the rear of the reflector are joined via a thin member. An engagement edge is coaxially formed along the inside of the skirt. A stopper flange is formed along the leading end of the engagement edge meshing with a stopper flange formed along the rear opening edge of the lamp body. A number of grooves are circumferentially formed extending parallel to each other along the inner surface of the skirt and the sleeve. Water entering from the rear opening edge of the lamp body is stopped by a recessed groove formed at the bottom between the skirt and the engagement edge and the grooves circumferentially formed along the inner surface of the skirt and the sleeve.
