Abstract

Claims (40)

1. A method of assembling a luminaire comprising:

providing a housing rear section including a control component;

providing a first housing middle section configured to removably connect to the housing rear section, the first housing middle section including a first light emitter;

providing a housing front section configured to removably connect to the first housing middle section and configured to removably connect to the housing rear section, the housing front section including a second light emitter; and

selectively connecting the housing front section to the housing rear section or connecting the first housing middle section to the housing rear section and the housing front section to adjust the light output of the assembled luminaire.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising connecting at least the housing front section to the housing rear section with a first bolt and a second bolt, the first bolt and the second bolt extend through at least the housing front section and the housing rear section.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

positioning the first bolt in a first chamber of the rear housing, the first chamber having a plurality of angled walls; and

threadably connecting a nut to the first bolt, the angle walls configured to prevent rotation of the nut.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

positioning at least one optic over at least one LED and connecting the optic to a printed circuit board;

connecting a bezel to the LED; and

positioning a gasket between the bezel and the printed circuit board, the gasket having edges overlapping the at least one optic and the circuit board and a protrusion extending toward the bezel.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising connecting the bezel to the LED board by an at least one fastener and connecting the bezel to the mounting portion by an at least one fastener.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising extending a conductor conduit from the rear section into a first channel or through a second channel and into the first channel, the first channel is defined by a recess extending into the first mounting portion, and the second channel is defined by a recess extending into the second mounting portion.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising positioning a first portion of the conductor conduit in the first channel and configurably positioning a second portion of the conductor conduit in the second channel, wherein the conductor conduit is a square tubed silicone member.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising

providing a second housing middle section configured to removably connect to the rear section, the second housing middle section being different than the first housing middle section and including a third light emitter; and

selectively connecting the housing front section to the first housing middle section or the second housing middle section to the housing rear section and the housing front section to adjust the light output of the assembled luminaire.

9. A method of assembling a luminaire comprising:

providing a housing rear section including a partition wall, an opening extending through the partition wall, and control component;

providing a housing front section configured to removably connect to the housing rear section, the housing front section including a mounting portion having a recess defining a channel;

connecting the housing front section to the housing rear section;

aligning a conductor conduit with the opening in the partition wall and extending the conductor conduit into the channel; and

connecting a light emitter assembly to the mounting portion and the control component by a conductor extending through the conductor conduit.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising positioning a middle section between the front section and the rear section, and connecting the front section, the middle section, and the rear section together with a first bolt and a second bolt.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising connecting a second light emitter assembly of the middle section to the control component through the conductor conduit which is in contact with a top surface of the first light emitter assembly and a top surface of the second light emitter assembly.

12. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

connecting a door to the rear section by a hinge and an at least one fastener; and

moving the door from a closed position to an open position by sliding the door towards the front of the housing and rotating the door about the hinge.

13. A method of assembling a luminaire, the method comprising:

providing a housing rear section including a mounting feature having a first fastener boss and a second fastener boss;

providing a mounting plate removably connectable to the mounting feature and providing a mounting base removabley connectable to the mounting plate;

providing a cover connectable to the mounting base; and

connecting the housing rear section to a support using the first fastener boss and the second fastener boss.

14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising connecting the housing feature to a roadway tenon, a round pole, or a square pole.

15. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

selectively positioning a clamp in a first orientation to support a first sized support or a second orientation to support a second sized support; and

connecting the support in either the first position or the second position to the mounting feature.

16. The method of 13 , further comprising connecting a curved adapter to the mounting base.
