  • Patent number: 10563830
    Abstract: A split luminaire having at least two sections that attach to one another, each section including an outer light transmitting cover and a housing. The housing includes partition with a rear side including a recess that extends upward from a bottom to a top edge of the housing. The recess defines a conduit through the assembled housings that is open on its top and bottom. A hollow tubular support is located within the conduit and permits wiring, cabling and/or other components to extend through the luminaire from the pole to above the housings. The tubular support has an upper and lower flanges. The upper flange provides a point for attachment of electrical components above the luminaire and the lower flange is attached to the top of a pole. One or more light sources are mounted within the luminaire.

  • Patent number: 8104929
    Abstract: An outdoor lighting fixture using LEDs as a light source has a decorative housing that includes a cast metal dome roof and one or more LED light engines, wherein the light engines conductive metal substrate is in conformal contact with a portion of the inner surface of the roof, such that the roof provides increased heat sink mass and the outer surface of the roof provides a heat dissipative surface area outside of the housing. Preferred embodiments include a street light wherein two LED light engines are mounted at about 20 and 160 degrees to a line parallel to the street segment to produce an asymmetric light profile that reaches over and along the street for an effective distance, but does not extend very far on the side away from the street. Also disclosed is a reflector module for an LED light engine having rows of cone reflectors modified to produce an effective emission pattern.
