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.
Claims20
A luminaire comprising:
- a driver assembly comprising a driver heatsink having an interior in which a circuit board assembly is positioned;
- and
- a LED assembly comprising an array of light emitting diodes and a heatsink, wherein the driver assembly is vertically integrated over an aperture in the LED assembly to divide an air flow passing through the aperture, with a first portion of the divided airflow contacting the heatsink of the LED assembly and a second portion of the divided air flow contacting an exterior of the driver heatsink.
