  • Luminaire shield
    Patent number: 4460945
    Abstract: A luminaire shield, particularly for protecting street lights from breakage by vandals includes a laminate plate mounted in spaced relationship from the lens of the luminaire. Heat can thereby escape between an air gap and between the light source housing and the shield, and the shield extends beyond the lens with a tail portion covering the electrical converter (ballast) mounted within the luminaire housing, such that this is also protected.
