Abstract

A luminaire having a substantially two-piece housing with a first portion and a second portion, for example a cover and a base. The cover receives one or more control components. The base receives a light emitter assembly and the control component assembly is operatively connected to the lighter emitter assembly to control the light output therefrom. A lens assembly can be connected to the bottom of the base 14 . Different mounting components can be connected to cover to connect the luminaire 10 to a support.

Claims (32)

1. A luminaire comprising:

a cover having an outer wall, a first set of corrugations, and an interior recess, wherein the outer wall includes an opening;

a control component positioned in the interior recess;

a base connected to the cover having a second set of corrugations corresponding to the first set of corrugations, the base and cover forming a housing;

a light emitter connected to the base and operatively connected to the control component; and

one or more mounting components for connecting the housing to a support and wherein the opening is configured to directly receive the support to position the housing over an area.

2. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the mounting components include a mounting hub releasably connected to the cover and a pendant cover releasably connected to the cover.

3. The luminaire of claim 2 , wherein the opening is a key-hole opening and the mounting hub connects to the key-hole opening.

4. The luminaire of claim 3 , wherein the mounting hub includes an upper flange, a lower flange, and an engaging member positioned between the upper flange and the lower flange, wherein the lower flange is smaller than the upper flange.

5. The luminaire of claim 4 , wherein the engaging member includes a curved side and a linear side.

6. The luminaire of claim 2 , wherein the mounting hub includes an internal thread and an external thread.

7. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the base includes a first portion and a second portion separated from the first portion, wherein the second portion receives the light emitter and a conductor extends through an opening between the first portion and the second portion to operatively connect the light emitter to the control component.

8. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein a bracket directly connects the control component to the cover.

9. The luminaire of claim 1 , further comprising a lens assembly connected to the base, the lens assembly comprising a lens and a lens mount, wherein the lens mount is connectable to the base in a first orientation and a second orientation.

10. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein

the base includes a recessed first portion, a second portion opposite the first portion, and an opening providing communication between the first portion and the second portion, and

a conductor extending through the opening and operatively connecting the light emitter to the control component.

11. The luminaire of claim 10 , wherein the base includes a protrusion extending from the first portion toward the cover.

12. The luminaire of claim 10 , wherein the light emitter is a curved LED board.

13. The luminaire of claim 10 , wherein the control component includes a driver.

14. The luminaire of claim 10 , wherein a bracket mounts the control component to the cover.

15. The luminaire of claim 10 , wherein the cover includes a key-hole opening and a mounting hub connectable to the key-hole opening.

16. A luminaire comprising:

a cover having an outer wall and a first set of corrugations;

a base connected to the cover having a second set of corrugations corresponding to the first set of corrugations, the base and cover forming a housing;

a control component positioned in the housing;

a light emitter connected to the base and operatively connected to the control component; and

a lens assembly including a lens and a lens mount connecting the lens to the base, wherein the lens mount is configured to connect to the base in a first orientation for connecting a first style of lens and to connect to the base in a second orientation for connecting a second style of lens different from the first style.

17. The luminaire of claim 16 , wherein the lens mount includes a stepped rim and a first side for mounting the first style of lens and a second side for mounting the second style of lens.

18. The luminaire of claim 16 , wherein the base includes a first portion and a second portion separated from the first portion, wherein the second portion receives the light emitter and a conductor extends through an opening between the first portion and the second portion to operatively connect the light emitter to the control component.

19. The luminaire of claim 16 , wherein the cover includes a key-hole opening and a mounting hub is connectable to the key-hole opening.

20. The luminaire of claim 19 , wherein the mounting hub includes an upper flange, a lower flange, and an engaging member positioned between the upper flange and the lower flange, wherein the lower flange is smaller than the upper flange.
