Luminaires and luminaire mounting structures
A luminaire having a housing defining one or more unthreaded mounting holes therein, a connector having a head and a shaft, the connector shaft located at least partially in one of the one or more mounting holes, the connector shaft comprised of a pliable material, a circuit board mounted to the housing by the connector head, the circuit board populated with one or more LEDs, and a lens resting against and spaced form the circuit board by the connector head.
1. A luminaire comprising:
a housing defining a front side and a rear side;
a circuit board mounted to the housing front side;
a column extending from the housing rear side to an end;
a box mounted to the end of the column and having a stem extending downward to a lower distal end and accommodating the column within the stem; and
the stem defining a groove in the lower distal end for receiving a gasket to create a seal when mounted against a structure when the luminaire is installed in the structure.
2. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the box is a driver box housing a driver to power the circuit board.
3. The luminaire of claim 1 , the structure is a canopy.
4. The luminaire of claim 1 , the box being integral with the stem.
5. The luminaire of claim 1 , the box for being mounted to the column.
6. A luminaire comprising:
a housing;
a column extending from the housing;
a box for housing a driver, a stem extending from the box to a distal end, the stem comprising a wall having an inner surface defining an opening configured to accommodate the column within the stem, the distal end defining a groove configured to receive a gasket to create a seal when mounted against a structure.
7. The luminaire of claim 6 , wherein the box houses a driver for powering the luminaire.
8. The luminaire of claim 6 , the structure is a canopy.
9. The luminaire of claim 6 , the box being integral with the stem.
10. The luminaire of claim 6 wherein the wall is cylindrical.
11. The luminaire of claim 6 further comprising a gasket configured to rest in the groove.
12. The luminaire of claim 6 a utilities aperture to accommodate passage of wiring from the stem to the box.
13. A luminaire in combination with a structure, the luminaire comprising:
a housing;
a column extending from the housing;
a box for housing a driver, a stem extending from the box to a distal end, the stem comprising a wall having an inner surface defining an opening configured to accommodate the column within the stem, the distal end defining a groove;
a gasket in the groove, the gasket in contact with the structure and configured to form a seal against the structure.
14. The combination of claim 13 , wherein the box is a driver box housing a driver to power the luminaire.
15. The combination of claim 13 , the structure is a canopy.
16. The combination of claim 13 , the box being integral with the stem.
17. The combination of claim 13 , the box for being mounted to the column.
18. The combination of claim 13 wherein the wall is cylindrical.
19. The combination of claim 13 , a utilities aperture to accommodate passage of wiring from the stem to the box.
20. The combination of claim 13 , the structure defining a structure aperture through which the column extends and the gasket forms a seal around the structure aperture.
