Abstract

A lighting fixture having a first light source and a second light source contained within a single housing. In a first embodiment the first light source is an LED lighting source and the second light source is an HID lighting source within a common housing is disclosed. Each lighting source includes its own reflector assembly, and the reflector assemblies can be side by side. Alternatively, an induction lighting source can be substituted for the LED or HID light source. The lighting fixture is suited for outdoor lighting or indoor lighting, where each lighting source can operate independent of the other lighting source.

Claims

1. A dual lighting fixture comprising:

a housing having a first reflector system and a second reflector system;

an LED lighting source associated with said first reflector system; and

a high intensity discharge (HID) light source associated with said second reflector system.

2. The dual lighting fixture of claim 1 wherein the high intensity discharge light source comprises a low pressure sodium lamp.

3. The dual lighting fixture of claim 1 wherein the high intensity discharge light source comprises a high pressure sodium lamp.

4. The dual lighting fixture of claim 1 wherein the high intensity discharge light source comprises a mercury vapor lamp.

5. The dual lighting fixture of claim 1 wherein the first reflector system and the second reflector system are arranged side by side.

6. The dual lighting fixture of claim 1 further comprising a controller coupled to the LED lighting source for managing an output of the LED lighting source.

7. The dual lighting fixture of claim 1 further comprising an LED transformer and an HID transformer.

8. The dual lighting fixture of claim 1 wherein each lighting source operates independently of the other lighting source.

9. A dual lighting fixture comprising:

a housing having a first reflector system and a second reflector system;

an LED lighting source associated with said first reflector system; and

an induction light source associated with said second reflector system.

10. A dual lighting fixture comprising:

a housing having a first reflector system and a second reflector system;

an induction lighting source associated with said first reflector system; and

a high intensity discharge (HID) light source associated with said second reflector system.
