A luminaire (100) is disclosed having a lighting element mount (110) which can have a base and one or more wings acting has heat dissipation fins. A lighting element (108) (e.g. a PCB populated with LEDs) can be mounted (e.g. directly) to the base of the lighting element mount (110) to conduct heat away from the lighting element (108). The lighting element mount (110) can be incorporated into the luminaire (100) so as to associate the lighting elements (108) with apertures (106d) in the luminaire, thus allowing the lighting elements to be protrude to the bottom of the luminaire while the wings extend rearward of the luminaire and both the base and the wings of the lighting element mount (110) are exposed to ambient air.

The mounting bracket thus facilitates quick attachment of the luminaire to the structure and allows attachment of additional mounting hardware to further secure the luminaire to the structure.
