Embodiments may utilize a series of exposed fins, which increase the surface area of the heat sink creating additional air flow. As hotter air rises within the system, cooler is drawn into the heatsink. The fins may be exposed on both sides of the longitudinal axis, allowing cooler air to be drawn towards the longitudinal axis above the heatsink and flow upward. This process may cool the fins. Additionally, the spacing between the fins may have to be wide enough to allow for air to freely enter the heatsink.

A luminaire for disinfecting a target surface includes a disinfecting light source, a non-disinfecting light source, a beam angle adjustor, a motion sensor, and a distance sensor. The radiance of the disinfecting light is calculated based on detected distance to a target surface and beam angle, and may be selected to achieve a predetermined irradiance of the target surface. If no motion is detected by the motion sensor then the disinfecting light source is set to ON and the non-disinfecting light source is set to OFF. If motion is detected and a beam intercept is not detected by the distance sensor then the disinfecting light source is set to DIM and the non-disinfecting light source is set to ON.

G01B 11/14 - Measuring arrangements characterised by the use of optical techniques for measuring distance or clearance between spaced objects or spaced apertures
An installation such as, for example, a box or cabinet for horticultural applications includes a lighting space between a lighted plane and a lighting plane parallel to the lighted plane, with side walls that are at least partly light-reflective. The illuminated plane may be defined by the upper surface of a plant culture medium. A set of light radiation sources, e.g. LEDs, arranged centrally relative to the lighting plane projects light radiation towards the lighted plane in the direction of a radiation emission axis. The set of light radiation sources emits light radiation with a distribution of illuminance projected towards the lighted plane, wherein the lighted plane is non-uniform and gradually decreases as a function of the angle relative to the aforesaid radiation emission axis, wherein the reflection of the radiation on the side walls facilitates uniform illuminance at the lighted plane.
