  • Publication number: 20220268430
    Abstract: Disclosed is a luminaire structure including a housing structure defining at least one light output region that may be at least partially enclosed and/or recessed, and bordered by at least two opposed housing boundary regions. The housing boundary regions define at least one light delivery zone spaced from the light output region, to deliver light to at least one adjacent interior space. At least one first sensor is configured to sense at least one parameter within a sensing field adjacent the at least one first sensor, while a positioning structure is configured to position the at least one first sensor at an operative sensor location at least partially enclosed or recessed, and adjacent the light delivery zone. The operative sensor location and the at least two opposed boundary regions may be configured to present the sensing field to the adjacent interior space without operative obstruction by the at least two opposed boundary regions.

  • Patent number: 11300276
    Abstract: Disclosed is a luminaire structure for location in a corner. The luminaire structure has a housing including first and second housing structure segments configured to be located adjacent the corner in an operative position. The housing is configured to support at least one LED array, and to support at least one light delivery structure to be located at or adjacent a light output region. The housing has at least one internal services region to receive one or more components therein. A mounting interface is configured to cooperate with the housing and/or an anchor structure mounted in or adjacent to the corner area, to enable the housing to be deployed between a servicing position and an operative position. The housing is proximal to the anchor structure, at least in part, and the internal services region is rendered inaccessible for servicing by its proximity to the housing and the corner.
