The luminaire ( 1 ) comprises: a lighting unit ( 17 ); a driver compartment ( 8 ) housing a driver ( 9 ) electrically connected to the lighting unit ( 17 ); and a pole compartment ( 3 ) adapted to receive an end portion of the pole, the pole compartment ( 3 ) extending along a longitudinal axis (L) along which said end portion is arranged when received by the pole compartment ( 3 ), wherein the pole compartment ( 3 ) and the driver compartment ( 5 ) are arranged adjacent to each other in a direction (D) perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (L), and wherein the driver compartment ( 8 ) and the lighting unit ( 17 ) are arranged at a distance from each other along the longitudinal axis (L). A street lamp comprising the luminaire ( 1 ) is also disclosed.

Claims (18)

1. A luminaire for mounting on a pole, comprising:

a lighting unit;

a driver compartment housing a driver electrically connected to the lighting unit; and

a pole compartment adapted to receive an end portion of the pole, the pole compartment extending along a longitudinal axis (L) along which said end portion is arranged when received by the pole compartment,

wherein the pole compartment and the driver compartment are arranged adjacent to each other in a direction (D) perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (L), and wherein the driver compartment and the lighting unit are arranged at a distance from each other along the longitudinal axis (L), wherein the lighting unit and the driver compartment are arranged on opposite sides of the longitudinal axis (L).

2. The luminaire according to claim 1 , wherein the lighting unit is arranged to be rotatable about a rotation axis (R), the rotation axis (R) being perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (L) and to said direction (D).

3. The luminaire according to claim 2 , further comprising a redirection module arranged between the lighting unit and the driver compartment along the longitudinal axis (L), wherein the lighting unit is mounted to the redirection module so as to be rotatable about the rotation axis (R).

4. The luminaire according to claim 3 , wherein the redirection module comprises an arm rotatable about the rotation axis (R), and wherein the lighting unit is mounted to the arm.

6. The luminaire according to claim 1 , wherein the driver comprises a first heat sink and the lighting unit comprises a second heat sink, the second heat sink being separate from the first heat sink.

7. The luminaire according to claim 1 , wherein the pole compartment is open that so as to allow the pole to be inserted along the longitudinal axis (L) into the pole compartment.

8. The luminaire according to claim 1 , further comprising a locking member arranged inside the pole compartment, the locking member being fixable at different positions along an axis (A) parallel to said direction (D).

9. The luminaire according to claim 8 , wherein the pole compartment comprises an inner wall, and wherein the inner wall and the locking member are capable of pressing against a pole inserted into the pole compartment at three or more contact regions.

10. The luminaire according to claim 1 , wherein the driver compartment and the pole compartment are formed by a single housing.

11. The luminaire according to claim 10 , wherein the housing is extruded.
