Abstract

A lighting fixture can include a housing and a plurality of modules positioned within the housing. The plurality of modules can be distributed along a front portion of the housing. Each module of the plurality of modules includes a plurality of light emitting diodes and is independently mountable in the housing such that a number of modules in the plurality of modules is selectable.

Claims (21)

1. A lighting fixture defining an axial direction, a circumferential direction and a radial direction, the lighting fixture comprising:

a housing defining a cavity;

a single support body positioned within the cavity defined by the housing; and

a plurality of modules, each of the plurality of modules comprising plurality of light emitting diodes, each of the plurality of modules independently mounted to the single support body,

wherein the single support body includes a plurality of projections spaced apart from one another along the circumferential direction to provide a guide for mounting the plurality of modules to the single support body such that the plurality of modules are distributed along the circumferential direction.

2. The lighting fixture of claim 1 , wherein each module of the plurality of modules has a common shape.

3. The lighting fixture of claim 1 , wherein each module of the plurality of modules has an inner edge and an outer edge that are spaced along a radial direction, a width of each module of the plurality of modules along the circumferential direction tapering from the outer edge to the inner edge, the inner edge of each module of the plurality of modules positioned proximate a central axis of the housing.

4. The lighting fixture of claim 3 , wherein each module of the plurality of modules has a pair of opposing side edges that extend along the radial direction between the inner edge and the outer edge, the pair of opposing side edges defining an angle, the angle between the pair of opposing side edges being no greater than one hundred and twenty degrees and no less than thirty degrees.

5. The lighting fixture of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of modules comprises no less than two modules and no greater than twelve modules.

6. The lighting fixture of claim 5 , wherein the plurality of modules is six modules.

7. The lighting fixture of claim 1 , wherein each module of the plurality of modules comprises a heat sink with a plurality of fins that extend away from the front portion of the housing, the heat sink of each module of the plurality of modules mounted to the support body.

8. The lighting fixture of claim 7 , wherein the fins on each heat sink are all vertically oriented such that a plurality of vertical air flow paths is defined within the heat sinks of the plurality of modules.

9. The lighting fixture of claim 7 , wherein the heat sinks of the plurality of modules are all commonly shaped.

10. The lighting fixture of claim 7 , wherein the housing comprises a grill that extends around the heat sinks of the plurality of modules along the circumferential direction.

11. The lighting fixture of claim 1 , further comprising one or more drivers, the housing comprising a driver casing positioned at a rear portion of the housing, the one or more drivers positioned within the driver casing and operatively coupled to the plurality of modules.

12. The lighting fixture of claim 11 , wherein the driver casing is a removable driver casing.

13. The lighting fixture of claim 11 , wherein the plurality of modules is operable by one or more remote drivers, the one or more remote drivers positioned outside of the housing.

14. The lighting fixture of claim 1 , further comprising at least one plug, the at least one plug and the plurality of modules distributed along the circumferential direction at the front portion of the housing.

15. The lighting fixture of claim 14 , wherein the at least one plug and the plurality of modules collectively extend three hundred and sixty degrees along the circumferential direction at the front portion of the housing.

16. The lighting fixture of claim 14 , wherein the at least one plug and the plurality of modules are interchangeable within the housing.

17. The lighting fixture of claim 1 , wherein each module of the plurality of modules is independently removable from the housing.
