Abstract
A multilamp strip light luminaire system for illuminating a portion of a stage for an audience, including a housing forming a compartment having front wall defining a lamp port, a lamp positioned in the compartment having a light beam directed at the lamp port, the lamp including a dichroic reflector for passing infrared light and accompanying heat through the reflector away from the front side of the housing toward the back side of the housing, electrical wiring mounted in the housing for supplying electrical power to the lamp from a source of electrical power, vents located at first and second walls for passing heat generated by the lamp within the housing to the atmosphere, a rear vent located at the rear wall of the housing for passing heat passed by the lamp toward the back side of the housing from the housing to the atmosphere, and a baffle within the housing for blocking passage of light leaking from the lamp to the rear vent. A channel formed in the housing containing a portion of the electrical wiring, so that the electrical wiring is substantially isolated from the heat generated in the housing by the lamp.
