Outdoor light fixture including a venting refractor

An outdoor lighting fixture, comprising:

• a housing;
• a lighting module that is coupled to the housing;
• and
• a refractor coupled to the outdoor lighting fixture including an inner surface and an outer surface that from at least one side wall, a top aperture and a bottom aperture, the refractor also includes a coupling feature including a portion extending above a top edge of the at least one side wall,
• wherein the refractor is positioned to allow light from the lighting module to pass through the top aperture and the bottom aperture, and
• wherein the coupling feature forms a ventilation gap between the refractor and the housing;
• and
• wherein a plurality of the coupling features are provided and are positioned distal from the at least one side wall and the refractor only comes in direct contact with the housing or other components of the lighting fixture at a contact point of the portion of coupling feature extending above the top edge to form a plurality of the ventilation gabs between respective coupling features and between the refractor and the housing allowing airflow to reduce overheating on the luminaire.
