Abstract

A high bay luminaire includes a heat sink having a substantially disc-shaped configuration. A light emitter is connected to the heat sink. A reflector is connected to the heat sink. A yoke is connected to the heat sink. The yoke has a first arm, a second arm, and a top bar. A driver is connected to the yoke so that the driver extends between the first arm and the second arm.

Claims (33)

1. A high bay luminaire comprising:

a heat sink having a substantially disc-shaped configuration;

a light emitter connected to the heat sink;

a reflector connected to the heat sink;

a yoke connected to the heat sink and having a first arm, a second arm, a top bar, and a door pivotally connected to the first arm and the second arm; and

a driver connected to the yoke so that the driver extends between the first arm and the second arm.

2. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the heat sink includes a non-uniform first connecting portion and second connecting portion.

3. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein an occupancy sensor is connected to the reflector.

4. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the heat sink includes a cylindrical wall surround a recessed portion.

5. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the yoke and driver are substantially open to the ambient environment.

6. The luminaire of claim 1 , further comprising a junction box connected to the yoke.

7. A high bay luminaire comprising:

a heat sink having a body, a plurality of heat fins, and an outer edge;

a light emitter connected to the heat sink;

a reflector connected to the heat sink;

a yoke connected to the heat sink and having a first arm, a second arm, a top bar, a door pivotally connected to the first arm and the second arm, a first bracket extending from the first arm, and a second bracket extending from the second arm, wherein the first bracket and the second bracket at least partially define an open space therebetween;

a driver connected to the first bracket and the second bracket to extend across the open space, wherein the portion of the driver extending across the open space is exposed to the ambient environment.

8. The luminaire of claim 7 , wherein an occupancy sensor is connected to the reflector.

9. The luminaire of claim 7 , wherein the door includes a slot for receiving a fastener.

10. The luminaire of claim 9 , wherein the fastener is a spring clip.

11. The luminaire of claim 7 , wherein the yoke includes a rear support for receiving one or more control components.

12. The luminaire of claim 7 , further comprising a relay module connected to the yoke.

13. The luminaire of claim 12 , wherein the relay module is connected to one of the first arm and the second arm.

14. A high bay luminaire comprising:

a heat sink having a body, a plurality of heat fins, and an outer edge;

a light emitter connected to the heat sink;

a reflector connected to the heat sink;

a yoke having a first arm connected to the heat sink, a second arm connected to the heat sink, a top bar, and a door pivotally connected to the first arm and the second arm; and

a driver connected to the yoke, wherein movement of the door provides access to the driver,

wherein the yoke includes a first bracket extending from the first arm, and a second bracket extending from the second arm, wherein the first bracket and the second bracket at least partially define an open space therebetween and the driver is connected to the first bracket and the second bracket to extend across the open space, and wherein the portion of the driver extending across the open space is exposed to the ambient environment.

15. The high bay luminaire of claim 14 , wherein the door includes a hinge member receiving a pin extending from the first arm.

16. The luminaire of claim 14 , wherein the yoke includes a rear support for receiving one or more control components.
