1. A housing comprising:
- a first chamber having an exhaust aperture to provide fluid communication with an outside environment;
a wall disposed in the first chamber and containing an electrical component, wherein a thermal energy generated by the electrical component is transferred from the first chamber to the outside environment through the exhaust aperture;
a second chamber formed adjacent the first chamber and including a control means for the electrical component; and
a means for selectively providing access to the first chamber and the second chamber.
