Abstract
An apparatus for retrofitting a HID lighting system includes using existing components of previously installed HID lighting systems such as its ballasts while replacing some capacitors to adjust the power supplied to a retrofit LED luminaire. Unused ballast drivers are removed, and a self-contained ballast driver assembly is mounted into the electronic control enclosure of the previously installed lighting system. Some of the retrofit LED luminaires include an uplighting lens, an optic, or a diffuser for providing uplight. An aiming bracket and an aiming plate allow for the horizontal aiming angle of a light luminaire to be set.
Claims13
An electrical component enclosure comprising:
- a sidewall;
- a bottom wall:
- a first ballast configured to provide AC current for powering a first HID luminaire that is attached to the sidewall or the bottom wall;
- a first ballast driver configured to provide DC current for powering a first LED luminaire that is attached to the sidewall or the bottom wall adjacent to the first ballast that is self-contained being separate from the first ballast and that is disposed in an interior of the electrical component enclosure;
- and
- wherein the sidewall includes two parallel panels that face each other, the first ballast is attached to one of the two parallel panels, the first ballast driver is attached to the other of the two parallel panels and further including a DIN rail extending from one of the two parallel panels to the other of the two parallel panels below the first ballast, and the first ballast driver.
