Abstract

A luminaire includes a housing having a rear section, a middle section removably connected to the rear section and, a front section removably connected to the middle section. A control component is positioned in the rear section. A light emitter assembly is operably connected to the control component.

Claims (39)

1. A luminaire comprising:

a housing rear section;

a housing middle section removably connected to the rear section;

a housing front section removably connected to the middle section and configured to connect to the rear section;

a first light emitter assembly connected to the front section;

a second light emitter assembly connected to the middle section; and

a control component positioned in the rear section and operatively connected to the first and second light emitter assemblies.

2. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the front section includes a first mounting portion receiving the first light emitter assembly and the middle section includes a second mounting portion receiving the second light emitter assembly.

3. The luminaire of claim 2 , wherein the middle section includes a side wall and an angled portion extending away from and above the first mounting portion toward the side wall.

4. The luminaire of claim 2 , wherein

the first light emitter assembly includes an at least one LED connected to a printed circuit board,

at least one optic positioned over the LED and connected to the printed circuit board,

a bezel connected to the LED, and

a gasket positioned between the bezel and the printed circuit board, the gasket having edges overlapping the at least one optic and the LED board and a protrusion extending toward the bezel.

5. The luminaire of claim 4 , wherein the bezel is connected to the LED board by an at least one fastener and is connected to the mounting portion by an at least one fastener.

6. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the middle section and the front section are connected to the rear section with a first bolt and a second bolt and the first bolt and the second bolt extend through the first section, the middle section, and the rear section.

7. The luminaire of claim 6 , wherein the rear section includes a first chamber having a plurality of angled walls, the first chamber receiving the first bolt and the angled walls are configured to prevent rotation of a nut threadably connected to the first bolt.

8. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the front section includes a first set of fins and the rear section includes a second set of fins aligned with the first set of fins.

9. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein a first channel is defined by a recess extending into the first mounting portion, a second channel is defined by a recess extending into the second mounting portion, and a conductor conduit extends from the rear section through the second channel and into the first channel.

10. The luminaire of claim 9 , wherein the conductor conduit is a square tubed silicone member having a first portion positioned in the first channel and a second portion positioned in the second channel.

11. The luminaire of claim 10 , wherein the first portion of the silicone member includes a wire opening positioned above the second light emitter assembly.

12. A luminaire comprising:

a housing having a rear section and a removable front section, the front section including a mounting portion having a recess defining a channel and the rear section including a partition wall and an opening extending through the partition wall;

a control component positioned in the rear section;

a conductor conduit aligned with opening in the partition wall and extending into the channel; and

a light emitter assembly connected to the mounting portion and operably connected to the control component by a conductor extending through conductor conduit.

13. The luminaire of claim 12 , further comprising

a removable middle section positioned between the front section and the rear section, and wherein a first bolt and a second bolt connect the front section, the middle section, and the rear section together.

14. The luminaire of claim 13 , wherein the light emitter is connected to the front section and a second light emitter is connected to the middle section and operably connected to the control component through the conductor conduit which is in contact with a top surface of the first light emitter assembly and a top surface of the second light emitter assembly.

15. The luminaire of claim 12 , further comprising a door connected to the rear section by a hinge and an at least one fastener, and wherein the door is moved from a closed position to an open position sliding the door towards the front of the housing and rotating the door about the hinge.

16. A luminaire comprising:

a housing including a rear section having a mounting feature include a first fastener boss and a second fastener boss to connect the housing to a support;

a mounting assembly having a mounting plate removably connected to the mounting feature and a mounting base removably connected to the mounting plate;
