- the lower body which need not be removed for maintenance, has the functions of housing the electrical conductors that connect the luminaire to an external energy source, and bearing the weight of all the light components and the fixing means to the external structure.
- the cover or upper body has three elements that can change over time more often than any other component.
- the fungible element is constituted by the light sources, and this will be the component that will have to be more often replaced.
- the lower body when the technology changes and the power adapter changes, due either to improvements in technology or due to different lighting requirements, the lower body must be changed. This is a technical problem that has not been foreseen neither addressed in WO 2015/063806 or US 2015/260362, since only the substitution of the fungible element has been considered therein. That is the reason why in these prior art lamps the cover is attached to the lower body not only by means of locking means, but also by the hinge/ articulation.
- the top cover may be completely redesigned and adapted, and the lower body will not have to be modified at all. This will allow for a quicker maintenance and lower redesign costs.
- the lower body will receive the mains voltage, which will be transferred as such to the upper body, where it will be properly transformed by the power adapter.
- power adapter it is meant any power adapter means, including the embodiment in which each light source could have its own power adapter.
- the luminaire comprises a heat dissipator in the upper body.
- the heat dissipator and the power adapter are elements that will evolve along with the light sources, and that may even disappear, so that their inclusion in the cover is advantageous.
- the heat dissipator is an integral part of the upper body.
- the heat dissipator will be generally made of protrusions emerging from the internal surface of the cover, cylindrical, or fin shaped.
- the luminaire comprises locking means for fixing the upper body to the lower body.

- the upper body or the lower body comprises a coupling perimeter rim and the lower body or the upper body respectively comprises a groove complementary to the perimeter rim, the groove comprising a sealing gasket.
- the connecting means to an external source comprise a fast connection terminal to the external source, the fast connection terminal being connected to the second terminal of the connecting means.
- the first terminal and the second terminal of the connecting means establish a connection when the upper body is coupled to the lower body. Otherwise expressed, the coupling course between the upper and lower bodies involves a connection between the terminals.
- the upper body comprises a fork with two legs
- the lower body comprises a lateral wall which prolongs vertically the bottom, the lateral wall comprising integrally formed guides for insertion of the legs such that the lower body can support the upper body in an open configuration.
- the invention also relates to an upper body for a luminaire according to any of the preceding variants, which comprises a light source and a first terminal of a connecting means for supplying energy to the light source, the first terminal being destined to engage with a second terminal belonging to the lower body of the luminaire, the upper body further comprising a power adapter which adapts the power of an external source to the tension required by the light source.
- the cover comprises a heat dissipator, placed between the light source and the internal surface of the upper body.
- the heat dissipator is an integral part of the cover itself.
