Abstract

A high bay luminaire includes a heat sink having a substantially disc-shaped configuration. A light emitter is connected to the heat sink. A reflector is connected to the heat sink. A yoke is connected to the heat sink. The yoke has a first arm, a second arm, and a top bar. A driver is connected to the yoke so that the driver extends between the first arm and the second arm.

Claims (34)

1. A high bay luminaire comprising:

a heat sink having a substantially disc-shaped configuration;

a light emitter connected to the heat sink;

a yoke connected to the heat sink and having a first arm, a second arm, and a door pivotally connected to the first arm and the second arm; and

a driver connected to the yoke so that the driver extends at least partially between the first arm and the second arm.

2. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the heat sink includes a non-uniform first connecting portion and second connecting portion.

3. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein an occupancy sensor is operatively connected to the light emitter.

4. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the heat sink includes a cylindrical wall surround a recessed portion.

5. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the yoke and driver are substantially open to the ambient environment.

6. The luminaire of claim 1 , further comprising a junction box connected to the yoke.

7. A high bay luminaire comprising:

a heat sink;

a light emitter connected to the heat sink;

a reflector connected to the heat sink;

a yoke connected to the heat sink at a first connection point, the yoke having a first arm, a second arm, and a top bar; and

a driver connected to the yoke

wherein the heat sink is connected to the yoke at a first connection point positioned on the first arm and the second arm, and wherein the driver is connected to the yoke at a second connection point spaced along the first arm and the second arm a distance from the first connection point, the driver extending between the first arm and the second arm.

8. The luminaire of claim 7 , further comprising a junction box connected to the yoke at a third connection point spaced along the first arm and the second arm a second distance from the first connection point.

9. The luminaire of claim 7 , wherein the heat sink has a substantially disc- shaped configuration.

10. The luminaire of claim 7 , wherein an occupancy sensor is connected to the reflector.

11. The luminaire of claim 7 , wherein the yoke and driver are substantially open to the ambient environment.

12. The luminaire of claim 7 , further comprising a mount coupled to the top bar.

13. The luminaire of claim 7 , wherein the yoke further includes a door pivotally connected to the first arm and the second arm.

14. The luminaire of claim 13 , wherein the yoke further includes a spring clip configured to selectively retain the door.

15. A high bay luminaire comprising:

a heat sink having an outer edge;

a light emitter connected to the heat sink;

a yoke moveably connected to the outer edge and having a first arm and a second arm; and

a driver connected to the yoke so that the driver extends at least partially between the first arm and the second arm, the driver being independently removable from the yoke relative to the heat sink.

16. The luminaire of claim 15 , wherein the heat sink includes a non-uniform first connecting portion and second connecting portion.

17. The luminaire of claim 15 , wherein the heat sink has a substantially disc- shaped configuration.

18. The luminaire of claim 15 , further comprising a junction box connected to the yoke, the junction box being moveable with the yoke relative to the heat sink.

19. The luminaire of claim 15 , wherein the heat sink includes a cylindrical wall surround a recessed portion.

20. The luminaire of claim 15 , further comprising a mount coupled to the top bar.
