Abstract
A luminaire with various sensing and communication capabilities is provided. According to one aspect, the luminaire can include a housing, a light source disposed in the housing, a support element coupled to and extending downward from the housing, one or more communication modules disposed within the support element, and a motion sensor coupled to the support element. The one or more communication modules facilitate communication with a local controller disposed in the luminaire, a control system, and/or other luminaires. The motion sensor is configured to detect motion within a pre-determined range of the luminaire. The light source is configured to emit light responsive to the motion sensor detecting motion within the pre-determined range.
