System and Method for Controlling the Humidity and Pressure in a Luminaire

A luminaire is provided, having first and second enclosures, a pipe, and a chamber. The first enclosure includes luminaire components that emit a light beam, has two openings, and is otherwise sealed. The second enclosure includes electronic circuits coupled to the luminaire components, has an opening, and is otherwise sealed. The first enclosure rotates relative to the second enclosure. The pipe couples an opening of the first enclosure to an opening of the second enclosure, rotates relative to the first enclosure, and is otherwise sealed. The chamber includes a drying agent, two openings, and is otherwise sealed from the external air. One opening of the chamber is rotatably coupled to an opening of the first enclosure. The other opening of the chamber is completely covered by a membrane that allows air to pass through the material while reducing the passage of water droplets in the air.
