Abstract
A luminaire includes a housing with a single piece, monolithic body, and a circuit board coupled to the housing. The circuit board includes circuitry for connection of lighting elements thereto, and is connectable to an external controller. An external controller controls lighting functions of the luminaire over a low voltage power and data connection.
Claims29
A luminaire, comprising:
- a housing of monolithic injection molded construction;
- and
- a circuit board coupled to the housing, the circuit board including circuitry for connection of lighting elements thereto, and connectable to an external controller.
A modular luminaire comprising:
- an injection molded body, of monolithic construction, that fills a planar projection in first and second orthogonal axes;
- and
- a planar circuit board assembly having a plurality of light emitting elements, the planar circuit board coupled to the injection molded body along a third axis orthogonal to the each of the first and the second axes.
A method of assembling a luminaire, comprising:
- providing a housing of monolithic injection molded construction;
- providing a circuit board including circuitry for connection of lighting elements thereto;
- and
- coupling the housing to the circuit board, wherein coupling is accomplished by translation of the housing and circuit board relative to each other on a single axis.
