Abstract

A luminaire having a body that includes a first portion and a second portion, the second portion including two or more apertures. At least one of the two or more apertures being sized to match a main lighting component, at least one other of the two or more apertures being sized to match a first function module, and at least another of the two or more apertures being sized to match a second function module. One of the first function module and the second function module is one of a motion detector, a camera, an air pollution sensor, and a communication unit.

Claims (15)

1. A luminaire comprising:

a housing comprising a body portion including two or more apertures;

a light emitting diode light source accommodated in at least one of the two or more apertures being sized to match a main lighting component;

a sensor module selected from motion sensor, camera module, air pollution sensor, and biohazard sensor accommodated in at least one other of the two or more apertures being sized to match the sensor module; and

a communication module accommodated in at least another one of the two or more apertures being sized to match the communication module.

2. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the light emitting diode light source emits a lighting pattern adapted to provide lighting to at least a portion of a roadway.

3. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the sensor module is a motion sensor configured to detect motion adjacent to a roadway illuminated by the main lighting component, and to activate the light emitting diode light source upon detection of motion adjacent to the roadway.

4. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the sensor module is an air pollution sensor.

5. The luminaire of claim 4 , wherein the communication module is configured to receive air contaminant levels from the air pollution sensor and to transmit the received levels to a remote central server.

6. The luminaire of claim 1 including:

three or more function modules, wherein a corresponding number of the two or more apertures are sized to match respective sizes of the three or more function modules; and

at least two of the three or more function modules each include a lamp.

7. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the communication module is configured to conduct communication with a remote server to receive control signals.

8. The luminaire of claim 7 , wherein the communication module is configured to provide remote control or programming to a sensor module of the luminaire.

9. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the sensor module is biohazard sensor.
