Junction box-driver assembly for direct mount luminaires

A junction box-driver assembly comprising:

• a housing that is configured to route electrical wiring to a luminaire and house a driver module therein, the housing comprising:
• a back plate that defines a cavity, wherein the cavity comprises a junction box cavity and a driver cavity that is disposed adjacent to and in fluid communication with the junction box cavity;
• a junction box cover that is coupled to the back plate and configured to cover the junction box cavity that is configured to at least one of route the electrical wiring to the luminaire and provide a protective space for enclosing wiring connections associated with the electrical wiring to the luminaire;
• and
• a driver cavity cover that is removably coupled to the back plate and configured to cover the driver cavity that is configured to house the driver module therein.

A junction box-driver assembly comprising:

• a back plate that is configured to route electrical wiring to a luminaire and house an electrical power supply device associated with the luminaire therein, the back plate comprising:
• a base wall;
• and
• a side wall that extends along at least a portion of a perimeter of the base wall such that one end of the back plate is open, the side wall being substantially perpendicular to the base wall,
• wherein the base wall and the side wall are arranged such that they define a junction box cavity and a driver cavity that is disposed adjacent to and in fluid communication with the junction box cavity;
• a junction box cover that is coupled to the back plate and configured to cover the junction box cavity that is configured to route the electrical wiring to the luminaire and provide a protective space for enclosing wiring connections associated with the electrical wiring;
• and
• a driver cavity cover that is removably coupled to the back plate and configured to cover the driver cavity;
• the electrical power supply device disposed in the driver cavity and comprising a switch interface that extends through a switch opening in the driver cavity cover, the switch interface being configured to allow one or more controllable features of a light module of the luminaire to be field selectable when the light module is coupled to the junction box-driver assembly;
• a wire trap connector coupled to the side wall of the back plate and configured to receive and retain the electrical wiring into the junction box cavity without using tools;
• and
• a mounting strut that is removably coupled to the back plate and configured to releasably lock the junction box-driver assembly to a mounting frame.
