Lighting fixture
Lighting fixtures are provided. In one example implementation, a lighting fixture can include a housing, one or more drivers, and means for securing the one or more drivers to the housing to decrease thermal resistance between one or more of the drivers and the housing. The lighting fixture can also include an LED system comprising a light engine having a plurality of LED devices. The plurality of LED devices can be arranged on an LED board of the light engine such that a first portion of the LED board has a first density of LED devices and a second portion of the LED board has a second density of LED devices. The first density can be different than the second density.
1. A lighting fixture, comprising:
a housing;
one or more drivers; and
a clamp bar attachable to the housing and positioned adjacent to the one or more drivers to decrease thermal resistance between the one or more drivers and the housing,
wherein when the clamp bar is attached to the housing, the clamp bar exerts a force on the one or more drivers to increase a surface area of the one or more drivers in contact with the housing.
2. The lighting fixture of claim 1 , wherein the clamp bar is positioned at least partially overlapping the one or more drivers.
3. The lighting fixture of claim 1 , wherein the clamp bar comprises:
a base wall, and
one or more end walls,
wherein the base wall and the one or more end walls are configured to secure the one or more drivers to the housing.
4. The lighting fixture of claim 3 , wherein the force exerted on the one or more of the drivers is created at least in part by the base wall of the clamp bar.
5. The lighting fixture of claim 1 , wherein the one or more drivers comprise a plurality of drivers, and wherein the clamp bar further comprises one or more separators configured to physically separate one or more of the drivers.
6. The lighting fixture of claim 1 , wherein the housing comprises a lower housing portion adjustably mounted to the housing such that the lower housing portion is movable between at least an open position and a closed position.
7. The lighting fixture of claim 6 , wherein the clamp bar secures the one or more drivers to the lower housing portion.
8. The lighting fixture of claim 1 , wherein the housing comprises a plurality of cooling fins.
9. The lighting fixture of claim 1 , further comprising a light emitting diode (LED) system having one or more LED devices, and wherein the one or more LED devices are arranged on an LED board of a light engine.
10. The lighting fixture of claim 9 , wherein the one or more LED devices are arranged on the LED board of the light engine such that a first portion of the LED board has a first density of LED devices and a second portion of the LED board has a second density of LED devices, the first density being different than the second density.
11. The lighting fixture of claim 10 , wherein the first portion of the LED board is a peripheral portion of the LED board and the second portion of the LED board is a center portion of the LED board.
12. A lighting fixture, comprising:
a housing;
one or more drivers;
a clamp bar attachable to the housing and positioned adjacent to the one or more drivers to decrease thermal resistance between the one or more drivers and the housing; and
an LED system comprising a light engine having a plurality of LED devices,
the plurality of LED devices arranged on an LED board of the light engine such that a first portion of the LED board has a first density of LED devices and a second portion of the LED board has a second density of LED devices, the first density being different than the second density,
wherein when the clamp bar is attached to the housing, the clamp bar exerts a force on the one or more drivers to increase a surface area of the one or more drivers in contact with the housing.
13. The lighting fixture of claim 12 , the first portion of the LED board is a peripheral portion of the LED board and the second portion of the LED board is a center portion of the LED board.
14. The lighting fixture of claim 12 , wherein a distance between rows of LED devices is varied along a long dimension of the LED board.
15. The lighting fixture of claim 14 , wherein a distance between two rows of LED devices located in a center portion of the LED board is greater than distance between two rows of LED devices located in a peripheral portion of the LED board.
16. The lighting fixture of claim 12 , wherein the housing-comprises a plurality of cooling fins.
17. The lighting fixture of claim 12 , wherein the housing comprises a lower housing portion adjustably mounted to the housing such that the lower housing portion is movable between an open position and a closed position.
