Abstract
A HID recessed luminaire is disclosed and described. The HID recessed luminaire includes a reflector that has a primary reflector portion and a secondary reflector portion. The primary reflector portion defines a first frustum of a pyramid and the secondary reflector portion defines a second frustum of a pyramid. Optionally, a portion of the primary reflector and a portion of the secondary reflector are integrally connected to one another.
Claims18
An HID recessed luminaire, comprising:
- a lens frame defining a downlight opening;
- a HID socket disposed vertically above said downlight opening;
- a longitudinally extending HID lamp removably coupled to said HID socket and extending downwardly toward said downlight opening in a substantially vertical orientation;
- said HID lamp having a light emitting portion having a first end adjacent said HID socket and a second end distal said first end;
- a reflector surrounding said HID lamp, said reflector extending from adjacent said downlight opening to adjacent said HID socket, said reflector having a primary reflector portion and a secondary reflector portion;
- said primary reflector portion defining a first frustum of a square pyramid extending from a first frustum base adjacent said downlight opening to a first frustum top disposed vertically above said first frustum base more proximal said HID socket than said first frustum base;
- said secondary reflector portion defining a second frustum of a square pyramid having a second frustum base and a second frustum top, said second frustum base adjacent said first frustum top and of a smaller footprint than said first frustum top, said second frustum top disposed vertically above said second frustum base more proximal said HID socket than said second frustum base;
- wherein said primary reflector surrounds over half of said HID lamp;
- and
- wherein at least a portion of said primary reflector and at least a portion of said secondary reflector are integrally connected to one another and integrally formed from a common piece of material.
An HID recessed luminaire having a reflector with an approximately one foot by one foot footprint and configured for installation in an approximately two foot by two foot ceiling grid, comprising:
- a downlight opening;
- a HID socket disposed vertically above said downlight opening;
- said reflector extending from adjacent said downlight opening to adjacent said HID socket, said reflector having a primary reflector portion and a secondary reflector portion;
- said primary reflector portion defining a first frustum of a pyramid extending from a first frustum base adjacent said downlight opening to a first frustum top disposed vertically above said first frustum base more proximal said HID socket than said first frustum base;
- said secondary reflector portion defining a second frustum of a pyramid having a second frustum base and a second frustum top, said second frustum base adjacent said first frustum top and of a smaller footprint than said first frustum top, said second frustum top disposed vertically above said second frustum base more proximal said HID socket than said second frustum base;
- wherein said reflector includes separate reflector pieces coupled to one another, each of said reflector pieces being commonly shaped, commonly sized, and integrally formed from a single piece of material;
- wherein each of said reflector pieces includes one wall of said first frustum of a pyramid having a first frustum wall base and a first frustum wall top and one wall of said second frustum of a pyramid having a second frustum wall base and a second frustum wall top;
- wherein said first frustum wall top and said second frustum wall base of each of said reflector pieces are integrally connected to one another.
An HID recessed luminaire having a reflector configured for installation in an approximately two foot by two foot ceiling grid, comprising:
- a downlight opening;
- a HID socket disposed vertically above said downlight opening;
- a longitudinally extending HID lamp removably coupled to said HID socket and extending downwardly toward said downlight opening in a substantially vertical orientation;
- wherein said HID lamp produces approximately 37,800 initial lumens;
- said reflector surrounding said HID lamp and having an approximately one foot by one foot footprint and a reflector depth of less than seven inches;
- said reflector having four separate reflector pieces coupled to one another, each of said reflector pieces being of a common size, a common shape, and integrally formed from a single piece of material;
- wherein each of said reflector pieces includes one wall of a first frustum of a square pyramid and one wall of a second frustum of a square pyramid;
- each said one wall of a first frustum of a square pyramid having a first frustum base, a first frustum top, and first frustum sides extending between said first frustum base and said first frustum top;
- each said one wall of a second frustum of a square pyramid having a second frustum base, a second frustum top, and second frustum sides extending between said second frustum base and said second frustum top;
- wherein each said one wall of a first frustum of a square pyramid is larger than each said one wall of a second frustum of a square pyramid;
- wherein each said first frustum top is adjacent and integrally connected to each said second frustum base;
- wherein said four separate reflector pieces are coupled to one another such that a first frustum of a square pyramid and a second frustum of a square pyramid are formed;
- and
- wherein said HID recessed luminaire has a fixture efficiency of approximately 87%.
