Zusammenfassung:A self-supporting luminaire housing that can additionally support additional housings mounted for mounting to a support pole without any cross arms. The housing has a mounting plate for an illumination source, a spine spaced apart from the mounting plate, triangular fins extending between the mounting plate and the spine, and a set of braces coupled to and extending from the mounting plate to the spine. The mounting plate is rectangular, and the spine extends longitudinally relative to the mounting plate. Some of the braces extend perpendicularly from the mounting plate, and some of the braces extend obliquely from the mounting plate to form a supporting truss with the spin and the mounting plate. The housing may be formed as an integral unit to improve thermal dissipation via two thermal pathways from the illumination source to the fins.
