Abstract
An integrated cap for retrofitting an existing light fixture can include an integrated cap housing that is configured to be disposed atop a pole that supports the existing light fixture, where the integrated cap housing includes a communication module and a transceiver. The integrated cap can also include a first coupling feature disposed at a bottom end of the integrated cap housing, where the first coupling feature is configured to couple to a first component of the existing light fixture to provide electrical signals to the communication module and the transceiver, where the communication module and the transceiver communicate with a second component external to the existing light fixture.
Claims17
A light fixture assembly, comprising:
- a pole that supports at least one light fixture;
- and
- an integrated cap, wherein the integrated cap is remote from the at least one light fixture and disposed atop the pole, and wherein the integrated cap comprises:
- a communication module and a transceiver in communication with an external component that is external to the at least one light fixture, and
- a first coupling feature wherein the first coupling feature is electrically coupled to a first complementary coupling feature disposed atop the pole to provide electric power to the communication module and the transceiver, wherein a power source for the at least one light fixture and integrated cap are the same.
