PARTIALLY RECESSED LUMINAIRE
摘要:
A luminaire includes a fixture, a light engine, and a heat flange. The fixture is configured to be received in a recess of a support surface and defines a cavity having a radius R. The light engine is disposed within the cavity and includes at least one light source. The heat flange is disposed about a distal end region of the fixture and includes a hollow, generally conical frustum shape extending radially outwardly from the fixture and extending away from the distal end region of the fixture. A distal-most end of the heat flange is configured to be disposed a distance D from the support surface when the fixture is received in the recess, the distance D being greater than or equal to 0.4R. Thermal energy is conductively transferred from the light engine, through the fixture, to the heat flange where the thermal energy is convectively transferred from the heat flange to surrounding air to create air currents flowing along the support surface thereby reducing the junction temperature.
