Abstract

A light fixture can include a pole. The light fixture can also include an integrated cap disposed atop the pole, where the integrated cap includes at least one light fixture component coupling feature that couples to at least one light fixture component.

Claims (29)

1 . A light fixture, comprising:

a pole; and

an integrated cap disposed atop the pole, wherein the integrated cap comprises at least one light fixture component coupling feature that couples to at least one light fixture component.

2 . The light fixture of claim 1 , wherein the at least one light fixture component comprises a sensor device, wherein the sensor device is disposed atop the integrated cap.

3 . The light fixture of claim 2 , wherein the sensor device detects an amount of ambient light.

4 . The light fixture of claim 1 , wherein the at least one light fixture component comprises at least one bird deterrent accessory, wherein the at least one bird deterrent accessory is disposed atop the integrated cap.

5 . The light fixture of claim 1 , wherein the at least one light fixture component comprises a power source assembly, wherein the power source assembly is disposed inside the pole.

6 . The light fixture of claim 5 , wherein the power source assembly comprises a mounting bracket and a power source, wherein the mounting bracket is coupled to the power source inside the pole, and wherein the mounting bracket is further coupled to the integrated cap.

7 . The light fixture of claim 1 , wherein the power source provides power and control to at least one light source of the light fixture.

8 . The light fixture of claim 1 , wherein the integrated cap comprises a body.

9 . The light fixture of claim 8 , wherein the pole has a first shape cross-sectionally along a length of the pole, wherein a bottom end of the body of the integrated cap, when viewed from below, has the first shape.

10 . The light fixture of claim 9 , wherein the integrated cap further comprises an adapter coupled to a bottom end of the body, wherein the pole has an outer perimeter, wherein the bottom end of the body of the integrated cap has a first inner perimeter that is larger than the outer perimeter of the pole, wherein the adapter has a second inner perimeter and the first shape, wherein the second inner perimeter is substantially the same as the outer perimeter, wherein the adapter abuts against an outer surface of the pole.

11 . The light fixture of claim 8 , wherein the pole has a first shape cross-sectionally along a length of the pole, wherein a bottom end of the body of the integrated cap, when viewed from below, has a second shape.

12 . The light fixture of claim 11 , wherein the integrated cap further comprises an adapter coupled to a bottom end of the body, wherein the adapter abuts against an outer surface of the pole.

13 . The light fixture of claim 12 , wherein the pole has a first shape cross-sectionally along a length of the pole, wherein the adapter of the integrated cap, when viewed from below, has an inner surface that forms the first shape.

14 . The light fixture of claim 8 , wherein the integrated cap further comprises a stacking cap, wherein the stacking cap is disposed atop the body of the integrated cap, wherein the stacking cap comprises the at least one light fixture component coupling feature.

15 . The light fixture of claim 14 , wherein the stacking cap houses at least one additional light fixture component.

16 . A bird deterrent accessory, comprising:

a base;

at least one coupling feature disposed in the base, wherein the at least one coupling feature is configured to couple to a component of a device; and

at least one bird deterrent feature that extends from the base, wherein the at least one bird deterrent feature is configured to deter birds from resting on or near the component of the device.

17 . The bird deterrent accessory of claim 16 , wherein the device is a pole-mounted light fixture.

18 . An integrated cap for a pole-mounted light fixture, the integrated cap comprising:

a body comprising a plurality of walls that form a cavity; and

at least one light fixture component coupling feature disposed on at least one wall of the plurality of walls of the body, wherein the at least one light fixture component coupling feature is configured to couple to at least one light fixture component of the pole-mounted light fixture.

19 . The integrated cap of claim 18 , further comprising:

an adapter coupled to a bottom end of the body, wherein the adapter comprises an aperture that traverses therethrough, wherein the aperture is configured to have a shape and a size that is substantially similar to the shape and the size of an outer perimeter of a pole of the pole-mounted light fixture.

20 . The integrated cap of claim 18 , further comprising:

a stacking cap disposed atop the body, wherein the stacking cap is configured to enclose at least one additional light fixture component of the pole-mounted light fixture.
