## Abstract

A luminaire includes a housing containing a control component. A cover is connected to the housing having an outer wall, a mounting section, and a chamber. A divider is positioned between the housing and the cover and includes a conductor opening. A light assembly is connected to the mounting section and operatively connected to the control component.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A luminaire comprising:
a housing for containing a control component;
a cover connected to the housing having an outer wall, a mounting section, and a chamber including a set of heat fins in thermal communication with the mounting section;
a divider removably positioned between the housing and the cover and including a first conductor opening; and
a light assembly connected to the mounting section and operatively connected to the control component.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The luminaire of claim 1, further comprising a conductor gasket connected to the divider.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The luminaire of claim 2, wherein the conductor gasket includes a flange extending through the first conductor opening and a projection extending through the divider.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The luminaire of claim 1, wherein the set of heat fins includes a minor heat fin having a first surface area and a major heat fin having a second surface area greater than the first surface area.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The luminaire of claim 4, wherein the set of heat fins includes alternating major and minor heat fins.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The luminaire of claim 1, further comprising a conductor channel positioned in the chamber and having an opening in communication with the mounting section.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The luminaire of claim 1, wherein an outer gasket is positioned between the divider and the housing.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The luminaire of claim 1, wherein the housing includes a second conductor opening, a recessed area is formed around the second conductor opening, and a housing conductor gasket is positioned in recess.

### Claim 9

A luminaire comprising:
a housing for containing a control component;
a cover connected to the housing having an outer wall, a mounting section, a chamber, and a conductor channel positioned in the chamber and having an opening in communication with the mounting section;
a divider removably positioned between the housing and the cover and including a conductor opening; and
a light assembly connected to the mounting section and operatively connected to the control component.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The luminaire of claim 9, wherein the conductor channel extends from a front portion of the outer wall toward a rear portion of the chamber.

### Claim 11 (depends on 9)

The luminaire of claim 9, further comprising a passage member positioned between the conductor channel and the mounting section.

### Claim 12 (depends on 9)

The luminaire of claim 9, further comprising a conductor gasket connected to the divider and extending into the conductor channel.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The luminaire of claim 12, wherein the conductor gasket includes a flange positioned in the conductor opening.

### Claim 14 (depends on 9)

The luminaire of claim 9, wherein the housing includes a top wall and a pair of sidewalls and a portion of the outer wall overlaps at least a portion of the top wall and the side walls.

### Claim 15 (depends on 9)

The luminaire of claim 9, further comprising a set of heat fins positioned in the chamber.

### Claim 16

A luminaire comprising:
a housing including a back wall, a top wall, a bottom wall, a pair of side walls, and an open front;
a cover connected to the housing having an outer wall, a mounting section, and a chamber;
a divider removably positioned between the housing and the cover and including a conductor opening providing communication between the cover and the housing;
a control assembly positioned in the housing; and
a light assembly connected to the mounting section and operatively connected to the control assembly.

### Claim 17 (depends on 16)

The luminaire of claim 16, wherein a portion of the outer wall overlaps at least a portion of the top wall and the side walls.

### Claim 18 (depends on 16)

The luminaire of claim 16, further comprising a conductor gasket connected to the divider and an outer gasket connected to the divider between the housing and the cover.

### Claim 19 (depends on 16)

The luminaire of claim 16, further comprising a set of heat fins and a conductor channel positioned in the chamber.

### Claim 20 (depends on 16)

The luminaire of claim 16, wherein the control assembly includes a driver and a sensor.
