Area luminaire
View Patent ↗A luminaire includes a housing having a top wall and a sidewall. A first fin extends from the top wall and a second fin extends from the side wall. A light emitter assembly having a heat sink includes a third fin extending from the heat skink configured to mate with the first and second fins. The luminaire can also include a light emitter assembly that can be selectively connected to the housing in multiple orientations.
1. A luminaire comprising:
a housing having a top wall and a sidewall defining a first compartment having an opening facing an area to be illuminated, wherein the top wall is opposite the opening;
a first fin extending from the top wall into the first compartment;
a second fin extending from the side wall into the first compartment;
a light emitter assembly having a heat sink, the light emitter assembly positioned in the first compartment; and
a third fin extending from the heat sink toward the top wall and configured to mate with the first and second fins.
2. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the first and second fins are connected.
3. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the first fin includes an angled portion and a substantially horizontal portion, the second fin includes an angled portion, and the third fin includes a substantially trapezoidal configuration.
4. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the housing includes a second compartment containing a control component.
5. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the heat sink includes a grid structure.
6. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the third fin is touching the first and second fins.
7. A luminaire comprising:
a housing having a top wall and a sidewall defining a first compartment having an opening facing an area to be illuminated, wherein the top wall is opposite the opening;
a housing fin extending continuously from the top wall to the sidewall, the housing fin extending outwardly from top wall and the sidewall into the first compartment;
a light emitter assembly having a heat sink, the light emitter assembly positioned in the first compartment; and
a sink fin extending from the heat sink toward the top wall and configured to mate with the housing fin.
8. The luminaire of claim 7 , wherein the housing fin includes a first angled portion, a second angled portion, and a substantially horizontal portion, and the sink fin includes a substantially trapezoidal configuration.
9. The luminaire of claim 7 , wherein the housing includes a second compartment containing a control component.
10. The luminaire of claim 7 , wherein the heat sink includes a grid structure.
11. The luminaire of claim 7 , wherein the housing fin surrounds two sides of the sink fin.
12. The luminaire of claim 7 , wherein the heat sink is removable from the housing.
13. The luminaire of claim 7 , wherein the light emitter assembly includes a plurality LEDs.
14. A luminaire comprising:
a housing having a top wall and a sidewall defining an opening a chamber having an opening facing an area to be illuminated, wherein the top wall is opposite the opening;
a first set of housing fins extending continuously from the top wall to the sidewall and into the first compartment;
a second set of housing fins extending continuously from the top wall to the sidewall and into the first compartment, wherein the second set of housing fins is orthogonal to the first set of fins;
a light emitter assembly having a heat sink, the light emitter assembly positioned in the chamber;
a first set of sink fins extending from the heat sink toward the top wall and configured to mate with the first set of housing fins; and
a second set of sink fins extending from the heat sink toward the top wall and configured to mate with the second set of housing fins.
15. The luminaire of claim 14 , further comprising a third set of housing fins extending continuously from the top wall to the sidewall and into the first compartment and a third set of sink fins extending from the heat sink toward the top wall and configured to mate with the third set of housing fins, wherein the third set of housing fins is opposite the first set of housing fins.
16. The luminaire of claim 15 , further comprising a fourth set of housing fins extending continuously from the top wall to the sidewall and into the first compartment and a fourth set of sink fins extending from the heat sink toward the top wall and configured to mate with the fourth set of housing fins, wherein the fourth set of housing fins is opposite the second set of housing fins.
17. The luminaire of claim 14 , wherein the housing fins include a first angled portion, a second angled portion, and a substantially horizontal portion, and the sink fins includes a substantially trapezoidal configuration.
18. The luminaire of claim 14 , wherein the housing includes a second compartment containing a control component.
19. The luminaire of claim 14 , wherein the heat sink includes a grid structure.
20. The luminaire of claim 14 , wherein the heat sink is removable from the housing.
21. The luminaire of claim 14 , wherein the light emitter assembly includes a plurality LEDs.
