Particular embodiments relate to the field of luminaires having a luminaire head arranged vertically on the support post, and more particularly to so-called flashlights.

Background

Outdoor luminaires in the form of lanterns are known. In some prior art modules, the light sources, the light source driver, and other functionality are arranged in or on a top compartment integrated with a luminaire head cover. Such solutions have the disadvantage that the cap becomes relatively large and power must be supplied to the cap.

In other existing solutions, the light sources are arranged in or on a cover of the luminaire head, and the actuator of the light sources is arranged in a lower part of the luminaire head. Such solutions have the advantage that the actuator can be easily connected to a power cable on the support post, but have the disadvantage that the actuator is often difficult to remove for maintenance.

EP 2 706 285 A1 discloses a lantern comprising a base, a luminaire part with a conical cover and a cover over the luminaire part. A removable housing for LED lights is mounted on the side of the cover that faces the part of the luminaire. The interior of the base is provided with a support frame for receiving a power supply. The support frame is formed with guide rails along which the power supply is inserted into the base. When inserted into the base, the power supply connects to a power line. The interior of the luminaire part is traversed from bottom to top by a tube in which is the power line that leads to the LED lights.

US 2009/147521 A1 discloses an LED lamp including a housing having a base, a frame at an upper end of the housing, and a plurality of struts interconnecting the base and the frame. A heat sink is mounted on the frame. An LED module is received in the housing and affixed to a bottom surface of the heat sink. A PCB is disposed at the base of the housing and a reflector is located on the PCB. A transparent coating is received in the housing and covers windows defined between the struts. A light generated by the LED module is reflected by the reflector to transmit outward through the coating to illuminate a surrounding environment.

DE 11 87 731 B discloses a mast luminaire with fluorescent lamps, in which the sockets for the fluorescent lamps and the associated ballasts and capacitors are mounted in an upwardly removable mounting frame. The mounting frame is provided with a central support tube placed on a strut at the base of the luminaire, protruding only partially into the support tube. The light roof is attached to a guided and movable support rod in the remaining part of the support tube. The light roof can be completely removed by pulling up or fixed at a certain height by the locking device. The light roof is screwed to the support tube by means of a thread.
