Abstract

A luminaire includes a luminaire housing having a lower wall, an upper wall, and a plurality of side walls defining a first interior. A first control component is positioned in the interior. A light emitter is connected to the housing and operatively connected to the control component. A control module is connected to an exterior of the luminaire housing. The control module includes a base and a cover defining a second interior, and a second control component positioned in the second interior.

First claim

What is claimed:

1 . A luminaire comprising:
a luminaire housing including a lower wall, an upper wall, and a plurality of side walls defining a first interior; a first control component positioned in the interior; a light emitter connected to the housing and operatively connected to the control component; and a control module including a base and a cover defining a second interior and a second control component positioned in the second interior, wherein the control module is connected to an exterior of the luminaire housing.

2 . The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the side walls each include an aperture and the control module is connectable to luminaire housing through any of the apertures.

3 . The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein one of the side walls includes a first threaded aperture and the base includes a second threaded aperture, and further comprising a connector threadably connected to the first threaded aperture and threadably connected to the second threaded aperture.

4 . The luminaire of claim 3 , wherein the connector is configured to permit the passage of one or more conductors.

5 . The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the second control component is operatively connected to the first control component.

6 . The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the second control component includes a controller configured for wireless communication.

7 . The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the second control component includes an occupancy sensor.

8 . The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the upper wall of the luminaire housing includes a connecting feature configured to releasably secure the luminaire housing to a mounting bracket.

9 . The luminaire of claim 8 , wherein the mounting bracket is connectable to the luminaire housing in a first position where the housing hangs from the mounting bracket at an angle and a second position where the upper wall is substantially parallel to the mounting bracket.

10 . A luminaire comprising:
a luminaire housing including a lower wall, an upper wall, and a plurality of side walls defining a first interior, wherein the upper wall includes a first connecting feature for pivotally connecting to a mounting bracket and a second connecting feature for releasably connecting to the mounting bracket; a first control component positioned in the interior; and a light emitter connected to the housing and operatively connected to the control component.

11 . The luminaire of claim 10 , wherein the first connecting feature includes a loop member.

12 . The luminaire of claim 11 , wherein the loop member is rotatably connected to the upper wall.

13 . The luminaire of claim 10 , wherein the second connecting feature includes a slot at least partially defined by a plate connected to the upper wall.

14 . The luminaire of claim 10 , further comprising the bracket, wherein the bracket includes a base, a rear hook extending from the base and configured to engage the first connecting feature, and a lower hook extending from the base to engage the second connecting feature.

15 . The luminaire of claim 10 , further comprising a tab extending from the upper wall having a threaded opening and a fastener rotatably connected to the threaded opening, wherein the tab is positioned so that the fastener can releasably engage a portion of the mounting bracket.

16 . The luminaire of claim 10 , wherein one of the luminaire housing side walls includes an aperture and the luminaire further comprises a control module connected to the luminaire housing through the aperture.

17 . The luminaire of claim 16 , wherein the control module includes a base, a cover plate, and a control component.

18 . A luminaire comprising:
a luminaire housing including a lower wall, an upper wall, and a plurality of side walls defining a first interior; a driver positioned in the interior; a light emitter connected to the lower wall; a lens connected to the lower wall over the light emitter; and a control module assembly connected to luminaire housing, wherein the control module assembly includes a base, a first cover plate having a first configuration selectively connectable to the base, and a second cover plate having a second configuration selective connectable to the base.

19 . The luminaire of claim 18 , wherein the first cover plate is configured to receive a portion of an occupancy sensor and the second cover plate is configured to receive a portion of a controller.

20 . The luminaire or claim 19 , wherein the controller is configured for wireless mesh network communication.
