Abstract

The present disclosure relates generally to a modular angled light engine. In one embodiment, the modular angled light engine includes a center portion comprising an interlocking feature to connect to a second modular angled light engine and at least one housing coupled to the center portion. The at least one housing includes a heat sink coupled to a first side of the at least one housing, at least one light emitting diode (LED) coupled to an interior volume of the at least one housing and a lens covering the at least one LED and coupled to a second side of the at least one housing.

Claims (22)

1. An angled street light fixture, comprising:

a base;

a first modular angled light engine coupled to the base; and

a second modular angled light engine coupled to the first modular angled light engine, wherein the first modular angled light engine and the second modular angled light engine each comprises:

a center portion comprising an interlocking feature, wherein the interlocking feature comprises a male portion on a first side of the center portion and a female portion on a second side of the center portion and a wire-pass through opening;

a first housing coupled to the center portion; and

a second housing coupled to the center portion, wherein the first housing and the second housing each comprises:

a heat sink coupled to a first side of at least one of the first housing and the second housing;

at least one light emitting diode (LED) coupled to an interior volume of at least one of the first housing and the second housing; and

a lens covering the at least one LED and coupled to a second side opposite the first side of at least one of the first housing and the second housing,

wherein the second modular angled light engine is coupled to the first modular angled light engine via the male portion of the interlocking feature on the first side of the center portion of the first modular angled light engine mated with the female portion of the interlocking feature on the second side of the center portion of the second modular angled light engine.

2. The angled street light fixture of claim 1 , wherein the base comprises:

an interior volume comprising a terminal for one or more electrical connections and a pole mounting bracket;

a first chamber coupled to the base comprising a communication assembly; and

a second chamber coupled to the base comprising a surge assembly.

3. The angled street light fixture of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first housing and the second housing is angled to achieve a desired total amount of light bending.

4. The angled street light fixture of claim 3 , wherein the desired total amount of light bending is approximately 80degrees.

5. The angled street light fixture of claim 4 , wherein at least one of the first housing and the second housing is angled at approximately 25degrees, 25 degrees, +/−10 degrees.

6. The angled street light fixture of claim 1 , wherein the heat sink comprises a plurality of heat sink fins, wherein the plurality of heat sink fins comprise different sized fins.

7. The angled street light fixture of claim 1 , wherein the heat sink includes one or more venting holes.

8. The angled street light fixture of claim 1 , wherein the center portion comprises a driver.

9. The angled street light fixture of claim 1 , wherein an additional modular angled light engine is added to obtain a desired amount of light output.
