One embodiment of the invention is described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a housing for an LED street light luminaire according to an embodiment of the present invention, the housing being shown in a detached configuration in which a cover is detached, and separate, from a base;
Figure 2 shows a perspective view of the housing shown in Figure 1 in an attached, open configuration, in which the cover is hingedly fitted to the base;
Figure 3 shows a perspective view of the housing shown in Figures 1 and 2 in an attached, closed configuration; and
Figures 4 to 6 i show side views of the detached, attached and open, and attached and closed configurations shown in Figures 1 to 3, respectively.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Referring to the drawings, a housing 10 for an LED street light luminaire comprises a substantially square base 12 that can be secured to a fixture 14, typically the spigot end 16 of a street pole 14. The base 12 defines a first compartment 18 and comprises a tubular receiver 20 to accommodate the spigot end 16 of the fixture 14.
An operatively upper surface of the tubular receiver 20 comprises at least one securing formation 22 to enable the base 12 to be secured to the fixture 14. The securing formation 22 may comprise at least two stainless steel M8 hexagonal-head screws 24, 26, which is secured from the inside of the luminaire housing 10 so as to minimise the risk of vandalism and theft.
In an embodiment, the base 12 is fitted with a first electrical connector 28 to facilitate an electrical connection to an electrical power source (not shown).
A distal region 30 of the base 12 comprises a pair of spaced apart lugs 32, 34 that each define an L-shaped hinging recess 36, 38, which will be referred to in more detail further on in the specification. The luminaire housing 10 further comprises a substantially planar, rectangular cover 40 that is hingedly fitted to the base 12. The cover 40 defines a second compartment 42 to overlie the first compartment 18 of the base 12. The second compartment 42 of the cover 40 comprises a hinge shaft 44, the hinge shaft 44 being arranged to hinge within, and relative to, the hinging recesses 36, 38 of the lugs 32, 34, as best shown in Figures 2, 3, 5 and 6. The second compartment 42 of the housing 10 also accommodates the control gear 46 for an LED array 48, with the control gear 46 typically being fitted to a removable gear tray.
The second compartment 42 of the cover 40 comprises a second electrical connector 50 that can conveniently register with the first electrical connector 28 of the base 12, so that when secured together, as shown in Figures 3 and 6, the first and second electrical connectors 28, 50 are in electrical contact with each other.
The cover 40 further defines a luminaire compartment 52 to accommodate the LED array 48, the luminaire compartment 52 extending/protruding from the base 12, as best shown in Figures 3 and 6. In an embodiment, the luminaire compartment 52 comprises a PCB 54 to carry the LED array 48, with a glass cover 56 being fitted to cover the LED array 48. The opposite side of the luminaire compartment 52 comprises a plurality of cooling fins 58 that are designed to prevent the accumulation of dirt, thus ensuring continuous effective cooling. In an embodiment, the cooling rib height to width ratio does not exceed 0.7.
The PCB 54 of the LED array 48 comprises a temperature sensor that reduces the current to protect the LEDs at higher than rated ambient temperatures. The temperature sensor is typically not used to switch off the LEDs at high temperatures.
The base 12 and cover 40 comprises a clipping arrangement 60 to enable the cover 40 to be securely clipped to the base 12, when in the secured position as shown in Figures 3 and 6. The base 12 defines recesses 62 to accommodate clips 64 fitted to the cover 40, proximate the second compartment 42.
In use, the cover 40 can move between a first position, as shown in Figures 1 , 2, 4 and 5, in which the cover 40 extends transversely relative to the base 12, and a second position, as shown in Figures 3 and 6, in which the cover 40 is substantially aligned with the base 12. In the first position, the cover 40 hangs relative to the base 12, when the base 12 is fitted to the fixture 14, with the hinge shaft 44 resting within the L-shaped hinging recesses 36, 38.
The present invention, and in particular the hinging arrangement between the cover and the base, thus allows the replacement, upgrading and servicing of the luminaire, and in particular the LED array and control gear, without having to remove the entire luminaire. The modular arrangement of the luminaire housing ensures that different light engines inside the same base can be easily and readily exchanged. It also allows on site replacement without tools, and fast and easy assembly.
