Abstract
The present disclosure relates to the field of lighting systems. The collective dissipation of heat by various components of lighting systems, inside a conventional single compartment enclosure, raises the temperature of each of the components, resulting in damage and reduction in the life of the components. The present disclosure, therefore, envisages an enclosure for lighting systems which is compartmentalized, and prevents overheating of the components of the lighting systems. The enclosure includes a first compartment and a second compartment. At least one driver is receivable in the first compartment and at least one light emitting component is receivable in the second compartment. The first compartment is insulated from the second compartment. The enclosure is primarily used for lighting fixtures which require high efficiency operation from a compact package, or lighting fixtures which operate in rugged environments at high temperatures.
