Abstract
In one aspect, luminaires are described herein having sensor modules integrated therein. In one aspect, a luminaire described herein comprises a light emitting face including a LED assembly. A sensor module is integrated into the luminaire at a position at least partially overlapping the light emitting face. In another aspect, a luminaire described herein comprises a LED assembly and a driver assembly. A sensor module is integrated into the luminaire along or more convective air current pathways cooling the LED assembly or driver assembly.

A heatsink assembly comprising:
- a plurality of finned structures;
- and
- interconnects coupling the finned structures between a compressed spacing configuration and an expanded spacing configuration, wherein the interconnects are positioned in the interior of the finned structures and slidingly engaged between the finned structures in both the compressed spacing configuration and expanded spacing configuration, wherein the interconnects lock the spacing between adjacent finned structures in the expanded spacing configuration.
