Electronics enclosure and associated mounting apparatus
First Claim
1. An enclosure arranged and constructed for housing electronics associated with a luminaire, the enclosure comprising:
- a first member including a mounting interface arranged to facilitate coupling the first member to the luminaire; and
wherein a neck portion extends relative to the first member such that when the first member is coupled to the luminaire, a threaded end of the neck portion extends through an opening in a lower surface of the luminairea second member mechanically coupled to the first member, the first member and the second member providing the enclosure for electronics; and
an antenna, wherein the antenna is secured to, and extends away from the enclosure.

Abstract
An enclosure is arranged for housing electronics associated with a luminaire and includes a first member including a mounting interface arranged to couple the first member to the luminaire and a second member mechanically coupled to the first member. The mounting interface facilitates provisionally coupling the first member to the luminaire and securing the enclosure to the luminaire. A corresponding mounting apparatus for securing an enclosure to a luminaire includes a mounting member having an opening and configured to be secured to a surface of a luminaire and a neck portion extending from the enclosure and configured to pass through the opening. The neck portion includes a neck opening that is configured to allow wiring to be routed from the electronics to the luminaire. The neck portion and the mounting member may include respective complementary surfaces to provide a mounting interface for provisionally coupling the enclosure to the luminaire.
