1. A heat sink for an outdoor lighting fixture, the heat sink comprising:
- a top portion; and
a skirt portion extending down from an outer perimeter of the top portion, the top portion comprising;
a first elevated portion;
a first transition portion surrounding the first elevated portion and extending down from the first elevated portion, wherein the first elevated portion and the first transition portion define a cavity, wherein the first elevated portion includes a first fastener hole for attaching a light source to the first elevated portion within the cavity on an underside of the heat sink, and wherein the first elevated portion includes a second fastener hole for attaching a lens to the first elevated portion on the underside of the heat sink;
a planar portion surrounding the first transition portion, wherein the first transition portion protrudes up from the planar portion, wherein the first elevated portion is elevated above the planar portion, and wherein the skirt portion curves down from the planar portion; and
a second elevated portion surrounded by a second transition portion that extends down from the second elevated portion and protrudes up from the planar portion, wherein the planar portion surrounds the second transition portion, wherein the second elevated portion is elevated above the planar portion, and wherein the first elevated portion, the first transition portion, and the planar portion are formed in a single structure.
