Abstract

A luminaire includes a light emitting diode module, a driver housing, and a hollow connector that connects the driver housing and the light emitting diode module. The driver housing includes a rotatable cap and a driver that provides power to the light emitting diode module. The rotatable cap permits rotation of the hollow connector and the light emitting diode module in order to direct the light from the light emitting diode module in a desired direction. The light emitting diode module includes a plurality of optics wherein each optic covers at least one light emitting diode and at least one vent adjacent to each optic.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A luminaire comprising:
a driver housing comprising a driver;
a hollow connector connected to the driver housing; and
a light emitting diode (LED) module connected to the hollow connector, the LED module rotatable with respect to the driver housing, the LED module comprising:
a plurality of optics, each optic of the plurality of optics covering one or more LEDs; and
a plurality of wiring cavities for receiving wiring that connects the one or more LEDs with the driver via the hollow connector, wherein each wiring cavity of the plurality of wiring cavities is disposed between the hollow connector and an optic of the plurality of optics.

2. The luminaire of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of vents that pass through the LED module.

3. The luminaire of claim 1 , further comprising an LED plate on which the plurality of optics and the LEDs are mounted.

4. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of optics are biased to emit light from the one or more LEDs in a designated direction.

5. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the LED module further comprises a rim along a perimeter of the LED module.

6. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the LED module further comprises a plurality of heat sink fins.

7. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the driver housing further comprises a side aperture for receiving a pole for mounting the luminaire above a roadway.

8. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the driver housing further comprises at least one wall having a flat interior surface against which the driver is mounted.

9. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the driver housing further comprises at least one wall, wherein the at least one wall of the driver housing comprises heat sink fins disposed on an exterior surface of the at least one wall.

10. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the LED module is rotatable up to 180 degrees in one direction and up to 179 degrees in the opposite direction.

11. A luminaire comprising:
a driver housing comprising a driver;
a hollow connector connected to the driver housing; and
a light emitting diode (LED) module connected to the hollow connector, the LED module rotatable with respect to the driver housing, the LED module comprising:
a plurality of optics, each optic of the plurality of optics covering one or more LEDs; and
a plurality of vents passing through the LED module, wherein each vent of the plurality of vents is disposed outside the plurality of optics, wherein each vent of the plurality of vents comprises a first opening at one end of the vent and a second opening at the opposite end of the vent, wherein the second opening is offset from the first opening.

12. The luminaire of claim 11 , wherein the plurality of optics are biased to emit light from the one or more LEDs in a designated direction.

13. The luminaire of claim 11 , wherein each vent of the plurality of vents is traversed by at least one heat sink fin.

14. The luminaire of claim 11 , wherein the driver housing further comprises a clamp for securing the driver housing to a mounting post.

15. The luminaire of claim 11 , wherein the driver housing further comprises a side aperture for receiving a pole for mounting the luminaire above a roadway.

16. The luminaire of claim 11 , wherein the driver housing further comprises at least one wall having a flat interior surface against which the driver is mounted.

17. The luminaire of claim 11 , wherein the driver housing further comprises at least one wall, wherein the at least one wall of the driver housing comprises heat sink fins disposed on an exterior surface of the at least one wall.

18. The luminaire of claim 11 , wherein the LED module is rotatable up to 180 degrees in one direction and up to 179 degrees in the opposite direction.

19. A luminaire comprising:
a driver housing comprising a driver;
a hollow connector connected to the driver housing; and
a light emitting diode (LED) module connected to the hollow connector, the LED module rotatable with respect to the driver housing, the LED module comprising:
a plurality of optics, each optic of the plurality of optics covering one or more LEDs; and
a plurality of vents passing through the LED module, wherein each vent of the plurality of vents is disposed outside the plurality of optics, wherein the LED module further comprises wiring cavities for receiving wiring that connects the one or more LEDs with the driver via the hollow connector.

20. The luminaire of claim 19 , wherein the driver housing further comprises a side aperture for receiving a pole for mounting the luminaire above a roadway.
