Abstract
A luminaire may include an electrical base, an optic defining an optical chamber, an intermediate member that may be positioned between the electrical base and the optic, and a light source. The intermediate member may include a main body and a plurality of structural supports that may be connected to the main body which may be configured to carry an upper member. A plurality of voids may be positioned between the respective plurality of structural supports to position the optical chamber in optical communication with the environment surrounding the luminaire therethrough. The upper member may be configured to carry the optic and the light source may be electrically coupled to the electrical base and may be positioned within the optical chamber. The optic may be configured to redirect at least a portion of light incident thereupon in the direction of the plurality of voids.
