1. A method of manufacturing a lighting bollard assembly for a plurality of different elongated lights having different corresponding lengths, said method comprising:
mounting a circuit structured to power any one of said different elongated lights atop a base;
mounting a first clamp plate atop said circuit and said base;
selecting an elongated light from said different elongated lights and affixing said selected elongated light into a light socket;
selecting a number of interposed lens rings and a number of light deflectors to correspond to the length of said selected elongated light;
interposing said selected number of lens rings among said selected number of light deflectors, wherein each of said selected number of lens rings is inserted into a corresponding one of said selected number of light deflectors;
mounting said selected number of interposed lens rings and said selected number of light deflectors atop said circuit;
mounting a second clamp plate atop said selected number of interposed lens rings and said selected number of light deflectors;
mounting a hood atop said second clamp plate; and
connecting together said hood, said second clamp plate, said selected number of interposed lens rings, said selected number of light deflectors and said base.
