A luminaire includes a housing defining an interior volume. The luminaire also includes a lamp within the interior volume and configured to emit light. Additionally, the luminaire includes a wireless antenna positioned within the interior volume, configured to transmit or receive a wireless signal along a first direction, and configured to be operatively coupled to an access point. The wireless antenna can be entirely within the interior volume. The luminaire can include a first reflective surface within the interior volume and configured to redirect the wireless signal. The lamp can be configured to be electrically coupled to a power inserter that powers the access point.

A stand for a lidded box such as a luminaire and a lighting device comprising said stand. Said stand comprising a rotatable resilient stay and comprising a bridge portion connecting two transversal portions. Each transversal portion having a respective axial portion extending over a rotation axis. Said stand further comprising two facing supports comprising a seat. The seat being elongated in a length direction transverse to the rotation axis, said length direction and rotation axis extend in a plane P. Each axial portion being accommodated in a respective axially extending hole, provided in a respective support, the respective holes and seat being positioned aligned on the rotation axis. The transversal portions having a connect portion connecting the transversal portion with its axial portion, whereby in a seated position of the stay the connect portion extends through the seat in plane P and at an angle α with the length direction, with α in a range of 25° to 75°.

A solar energy device includes a solar panel array including a plurality of solar panels, each of the solar panels being divided into solar sub-panels. The solar sub-panels have unequal shapes but equal areas. Wires electrically connect the solar sub-panels and connect the solar panels. The solar panels are secured on a base which is formed with cutouts to receive the wires. The wires are fixed to the solar sub-panels but are free to move with respect to the base.

A mount for a light assembly in a luminaire has a base section and mounting arms upstanding from the base section. Each mounting arm has an upward length and a width and has a lower portion and an upper portion. Mounting pads for light sources are unitary with or attached to the mounting arm upper portions and have an upward length and a width. The width of the mounting pads extends in a direction oblique to the width of the mounting arm lower portions. Preferably, the length of the mounting pads extends in a direction oblique to the length of the mounting arm lower portions. Light sources mounted on the mounting pads may emit beams of light directed obliquely away from each other and obliquely towards the base.

A 4.3/10 coaxial connector configured to receive a mating 4.3/10 connector includes: an inner contact; a dielectric spacer: and an outer contact, the dielectric spacer separating the inner contact and the outer contact. The outer contact includes an outer wall and a plurality of spring fingers, the spring fingers configured to deflect radially inwardly when the mating 4.3/10 connector is mated. The connector further comprises blocking structure that prevents mating of a Mini-Din connector.

A security lighting system for a perimeter fence includes a plurality of light fixtures. Each light fixture has a lower end secured to a vertical fence post, an upper end including a low voltage LED for generating light, an extension tube extending from the lower end of the light fixture to the upper end of the light fixture for locating the low voltage LED above top horizontal fence pipes of the perimeter fence, and a light directing element covering the low voltage LED for directing light generated by the low voltage LED in a downward direction toward the ground. Low voltage electrically conductive wiring interconnects the light fixtures to low voltage current provided by a power source. The low voltage electrically conductive wiring is strung along the top horizontal fence pipes and is exposed as it extends horizontally between the light fixtures at the top of said perimeter fence.

In one aspect of the disclosure a communications network or topology is presented that includes one or more modular or adaptable smart pole assemblies. Each smart pole assembly can include a pole structure supporting a data-communications module and having a hollow interior through which a connectorized vertical cabling structure extends. Jumper cables can be provided to connect components associated with the data-communications module with the vertical cabling structure such that no cabling or wiring has to be removed or installed from the pole hollow interior when components are added, removed, or replaced. The vertical cabling structure or harness can include one or more of connectorized fiber optic cables, DC power cables, and connectorized Category 6 cables. In one example, the fiber optic cables are terminated with hardened multi-fiber optical connectors at each end.

A light having a first set of electrically coupled solid state light sources having a first forward voltage drop and a second set of electrically coupled solid state light sources having a second forward voltage at least approximately matching the first forward voltage drop. The first set and second sets of solid state light sources are electrically coupled in parallel to a constant current source. A resistor is electrically coupled to at least one of the first and second sets of solid state light sources. Control circuitry is operably coupled to control a resistance electrically coupled in series with said at least one of the first set and the second set of solid state light sources to adjust a respective current therethrough and thereby dim said at least one of the first set and the second set of solid state light sources while maintaining the respective forward voltage drops.

A street pole comprising an antenna section with a coaxially mounted antenna around a pole. The antenna section having a length L and comprising at least one of the following features: —suspension with O-rings wherein the O-rings are each mounted at a distance Dr of 0.5*(1−½√2)*L from a respective end of the antenna; —a fix suspension at bottom; —a reduced outer diameter of the pole at at least one end (i.e. top end and/or bottom end) of the antenna; and —one of i) an extruded cable sleeve with opening in circumference over its full length for easy assembling and to spring mount the cable sleeve around the pole, and ii) a grooved pole with specifically shaped grooves for collecting residual particles at preferred locations.
