Abstract

A luminaire includes a housing having a pair of sides and a base extending between the sides. A lens is removably coupled to the housing and includes side portions. A mounting bracket is directly coupled to the base and includes a chamber, and a driver is coupled to the base and positioned within the chamber. A plurality of light emitters is coupled to a surface of the mounting bracket and in communication with the driver. A first portion includes a pocket and a protuberance positioned on one of a side portion of the lens and a side of the housing. A second portion includes a projection and a curved portion positioned on the other of the side portion of the lens and the side of the housing. The protuberance is engageable with the pocket to couple the lens to the housing.

Claims (35)

1. A luminaire comprising:

a housing including a pair of sides and a base extending between the sides;

a lens removably coupled to the housing, the lens including side portions;

a mounting bracket directly coupled to the base and including a chamber, a driver coupled to the base and positioned within the chamber;

a plurality of light emitters coupled to a surface of the mounting bracket and in communication with the driver;

a first portion including a pocket and a protuberance positioned on either a side portion of the lens or a side of the housing; and

a second portion including a projection and a curved portion positioned on the other of the side portion of the lens or the side of the housing, the protuberance engageable with the pocket to couple the lens to the housing.

2. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the sides include the first portion having both a pocket and a protuberance and having an S-shape.

3. The luminaire of claim 1 , further comprising an end cap coupled to the housing, the end cap configured to limit light emitted from the light emitter from passing through the end cap.

4. The luminaire of claim 3 , wherein the end cap includes projections, the end cap slidably coupled to the housing and the projections engage the sides.

5. The luminaire of claim 4 , wherein projections of the end cap engage an inner surface of the protuberance.

6. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the lens includes a curvilinear profile.

7. The luminaire of claim 1 , further comprising a sensor configured to sense a signal, which determines a light output from the light emitters.

8. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the lens and the housing are coupled together with a snap-fit.

9. A luminaire comprising,

a housing including a pair of sides having an S-shaped portion that includes a pocket and a protuberance;

a mounting bracket coupled to the housing and including a surface supporting at least one light emitter; and

a lens removably coupled to the housing, the lens including side portions having a portion including a projection and a curved portion, the curved portion engageable with the protuberance and the projection engageable with the pocket to create a snap-fit engagement.

10. The luminaire of claim 9 , further comprising an end cap coupled to the housing, the end cap configured to limit light emitted from a light emitter of the luminaire from passing through the end cap.

11. The luminaire of claim 10 , wherein the end cap includes projections, the end cap slidably coupled to the housing and the projections engaging the sides.

12. The luminaire of claim 11 , wherein the projections of the end cap engage an inner surface of the protuberance.

13. The luminaire of claim 9 , wherein the lens includes a curvilinear profile.

14. The luminaire of claim 9 , wherein the housing further includes a base extending between the pair of sides, the mounting bracket coupled to the base and including a chamber, and a driver coupled to the base within the chamber.

15. The luminaire of claim 9 , further comprising a sensor configured to sense a signal, which determines a light output from the light emitters.

16. The luminaire of claim 9 , wherein the housing further includes a base extending between the pair of sides and an axis extending along the base, the pocket extending in an orthogonal direction with respect to the axis.

17. The luminaire of claim 9 , wherein the housing further includes a base between the pair of sides, the pair of sides inclined with respect to the base.

18. A luminaire comprising,

a housing including a base and a first side and a second side extending from the base;

a mounting bracket directly coupled to the base and including a chamber, a driver coupled to the base within the chamber;

a plurality of light emitters supported on a surface of the mounting bracket;

an end cap coupled to the housing, the end cap configured to limit light emitted from the light emitters from passing through the end cap; and

a lens removably coupled to the housing at a terminal end of the housing without the use of additional fastening members, the lens configured to at least partially cover the light emitter.

19. The luminaire of claim 18 , wherein the sides include an S-shaped portion that includes a pocket and a protuberance and the lens includes side portions having a projection and a curved portion, the S-shaped portion positioned at the terminal end of the housing, and the curved portion engageable with the protuberance and the projection engageable with the pocket to couple the lens to the housing.

20. The luminaire of claim 18 , wherein the end cap includes projections, the end cap slidably coupled to the housing and the projections engaging the sides.

21. The luminaire of claim 18 , wherein the lens includes a curvilinear profile.
