The luminaire includes a housing having an upper cover at least partially defining an interior. The upper cover has an opening formed in a top wall facing a first direction. A primary light emitter is connected to the housing and facing a second direction opposite the first direction. A chassis is connected to the upper cover. A secondary light emitter is connected to the chassis. A reflector is connected to the chassis. Wherein the second light emitter and the reflector are configured to emit light through the opening. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A luminaire comprising: a housing including an upper cover at least partially defining an interior, the upper cover having an opening formed in a top wall facing a first direction; a primary light emitter connected to the housing and facing a second direction opposite the first direction; a chassis connected to the upper cover; a secondary light emitter connected to the chassis; and a reflector connected to the chassis, wherein the second light emitter and the reflector are configured to emit light through the opening. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The luminaire of claim 1, wherein the primary light emitter is configured to direct light to a floor of an area below the housing and the secondary light emitter is configured to direct light to an area above the housing. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The luminaire of claim 1, wherein the lumen output from the primary light emitter is higher than the lumen output of the second light emitter. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The luminaire of claim 1, further comprising a lens positioned in the opening formed in the top wall and a gasket positioned between the lens and the top wall. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The luminaire of claim 1, wherein the chassis includes a mounting bracket configured to receive a fastener to connect the chassis to the top wall. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The luminaire of claim 1, wherein the reflector includes a curved wall having a varied radius. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The luminaire of claim 6, wherein the reflector includes a first curved edge facing away from the top wall and a second curved edge facing the top wall. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The luminaire of claim 1, wherein the chassis includes a rear wall that receives the secondary light emitter and the reflector, and an upper rim extending from the rear wall. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The luminaire of claim 8, wherein the reflector includes a first edge proximate the rear wall, a second edge proximate the upper rim, a first portion extending at an oblique angle from the upper wall and a second portion substantially parallel to the upper rim. ### Claim 10 A luminaire comprising: a housing including an upper cover at least partially defining an interior, a top wall, and an opening formed in a top wall, wherein the housing is configured to connect to a wall above a doorway; a primary light emitter connected to the housing and configured to direct light to a floor of an area below the housing; and an uplight assembly positioned in the housing and configured to direct light to a wall in an area above the housing, the uplight assembly including a chassis, a reflector connected to the chassis, and a secondary light emitter. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The luminaire of claim 10, wherein the uplight assembly includes a lens connected to the chassis and a base plate connected to the chassis, wherein the baseplate includes an opening corresponding to the reflector. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The luminaire of claim 10, wherein the chassis includes a mounting bracket configured to receive a fastener to connect the chassis to the housing. ### Claim 13 (depends on 10) The luminaire of claim 10, wherein the reflector includes a curved wall having a varied radius. ### Claim 14 (depends on 10) The luminaire of claim 10, wherein the chassis includes a rear wall that receives the secondary light emitter and the reflector, an upper rim extending from the rear wall, and a raised edge extending from the upper rim. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The luminaire of claim 14, wherein the reflector includes a first edge proximate the rear wall, a second edge proximate the upper rim, a first portion extending at an oblique angle from the upper wall and a second portion substantially parallel to the upper rim. ### Claim 16 An uplight assembly for a luminaire comprising: a chassis having a rear wall and an upper rim extending above and outwardly from the rear wall to define an opening; a light emitter connected to the rear wall; a reflector connected to the rear wall and positioned to direct light received from the light emitter through the opening; and a lens positioned over the upper rim, wherein the chassis is configured to be positioned in a luminaire housing to provide a secondary light output. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The uplight assembly of claim 16, wherein the chassis includes a leg extending beneath the upper rim and a mounting bracket extending from the leg. ### Claim 18 (depends on 16) The uplight assembly of claim 16, wherein the reflector includes a curved wall having a varied radius. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The uplight assembly of claim 18, wherein the reflector includes a first curved edge facing away from the top wall and a second curved edge facing the top wall. ### Claim 20 (depends on 16) The uplight assembly of claim 16, wherein the reflector includes a first edge proximate the rear wall, a second edge proximate the upper rim, a first portion extending at an oblique angle from the upper wall and a second portion substantially parallel to the upper rim.
