Abstract

A luminaire that includes a heat spreader, a heat sink diametrically outboard of the heat spreader, an optic retained by the heat spreader, a light source disposed on the front side of the heat spreader, and a power conditioner disposed on the heat spreader. The power conditioner is disposed on the same side of the heat spreader as the light source. The heat sink includes fins that alternate with adjacently disposed and radially oriented recesses.

Claims (34)

1. A luminaire comprising:

a heat spreader;

a heat sink diametrically outboard of the heat spreader;

an optic retained by the heat spreader;

a light source disposed on a front side of the heat spreader; and

a power conditioner disposed on the heat spreader;

wherein the power conditioner is disposed on the same side of the heat spreader as the light source; and

wherein the heat sink includes fins that alternate with adjacently disposed and radially oriented recesses.

2. The luminaire of claim 1 further including a trim defining a heat sinking thermal management element.

3. The luminaire of claim 1 wherein the light source comprises an LED chip package.

4. The luminaire of claim 1 wherein the heat sink fins are disposed on a back side of the luminaire.

5. The luminaire of claim 1 further comprising a reflector disposed in optical communication with the light source and the optic such that light emitted from the light source is reflected by the reflector toward the optic.

6. The luminaire of claim 1 wherein the heat spreader, the heat sink and the optic, in combination, have an overall height H and an overall outside dimension D such that a ratio of H/D is equal to or less than 0.25.

7. The luminaire of claim 1 wherein the heat sink forms a trim plate; and wherein the trim plate and the optic, in combination, have an overall height H and an overall outside dimension D such that a ratio of H/D is equal to or less than 0.25.

8. The luminaire of claim 1 wherein the heat spreader, heat sink and optic are sized to cover a three inch opening.

9. The luminaire of claim 1 wherein the heat spreader, heat sink and optic are sized to cover a four inch opening.

10. The luminaire of claim 1 wherein the heat spreader, heat sink and optic are sized to cover a five inch opening.

11. The luminaire of claim 1 wherein the heat spreader, heat sink and optic are sized to cover a six inch opening.

12. A luminaire comprising:

a heat spreader;

a heat sink;

an optic retained by the heat spreader;

a light unit comprising a light source disposed on a front side of the heat spreader; and

a power conditioner disposed on the heat spreader;

wherein the heat spreader is integrally formed with the heat sink; and

wherein the heat sink is diametrically outboard of the heat spreader.

13. The luminaire of claim 12 wherein the light source comprises a plurality of LEDs defined as an LED chip package.

14. The luminaire of claim 12 further including a trim defining a heat sinking thermal management element.

15. The luminaire of claim 14 wherein the trim is mechanically separable from the light unit.

16. The luminaire of claim 12 wherein the combination of the heat spreader, the heat sink, and optic have an overall height of 1.5 inches and an outside dimension with a diameter of 7 inches.

17. The luminaire of claim 12 wherein the heat spreader, heat sink and optic are sized to cover a three inch opening.

18. The luminaire of claim 12 wherein the heat spreader, heat sink and optic are sized to cover a four inch opening.

19. The luminaire of claim 12 wherein the heat spreader, heat sink and optic are sized to cover a five inch opening.

20. The luminaire of claim 12 wherein the heat spreader, heat sink and optic are sized to cover a six inch opening.
