Abstract:
A luminaire ( 61 ) is disclosed with a close coupled ballast ( 62 ) having a support arm ( 66 ) from which is suspended or hung a reflector, and preferably a variable focus reflector ( 41 ), having either a single ended lamp ( 3 ) or double ended lamp ( 23 ). The luminaire ( 61 ) is supported from a greenhouse rafter ( 9 ) by filaments ( 10, 11 ) which are connected one to the ballast ( 62 ) and the other to the free end of the support arm ( 66 ). In one embodiment the arm ( 66 ) is connected to a rigid side plate ( 64 ) which is mounted on the ballast ( 62 ). In another embodiment the arm ( 66 ) is connected to a side plate ( 164 ) which is hinged. The arrangement enables flimsy reflectors ( 41 ) to be close coupled with electronic ballasts in a way which minimises Radio Frequency Interference (RFI).

Claim (Index 1):
A close coupled luminaire assembly comprising a ballast, a focus reflector and at least one lamp socket, each lamp socket being supported by the reflector, the ballast having a first axis and a first mounting attachment to permit the ballast to be suspended by a first filament from an overhead support with said ballast first axis being substantially vertical and the ballast being closely spaced to said one lamp socket wherein the assembly includes a reflector support arm which is connected to said ballast and extends substantially perpendicular to said ballast first axis, a distal end of said reflector support arm has a second mounting attachment to permit said distal end to be suspended by a second filament from an overhead support with said ballast support arm being substantially horizontal, and said reflector hangs from said reflector support arm without any direct mechanical interconnection between said ballast and reflector.
