An enclosure can include a first and second enclosure component, where the first enclosure component can include a first enclosure component side and a snap-fit fastener that extends from the first enclosure component side, where the snap-fit fastener comprises a body with an aperture that traverses therethrough. The second enclosure component can include a second enclosure component side and a ridge that protrudes from the second enclosure component side to form a cavity, where the ridge has a plurality of gaps along its top end. The second enclosure component can also include a catch that protrudes from the second enclosure component side, where the catch is positioned within the inner perimeter of the ridge, and where the catch is configured to be positioned within the aperture formed by the snap-fit fastener and abut against the snap-fit fastener when the snap-fit fastener is disposed within the cavity formed by the ridge.

A light pipe assembly includes a light pipe having one or more first crush ribs extending outwardly from an outer surface of the light pipe. The light pipe assembly further includes a light pipe housing having one or more second crush ribs extending into a cavity of the light pipe housing. When the light pipe is positioned in the cavity of the light pipe housing, the light pipe is retained in the light pipe housing by the one or more first crush ribs and the one or more second crush ribs. The one or more first crush ribs come in contact with and press against the one or more second crush ribs when the light pipe is positioned in the cavity of the light pipe housing.

A modular sensor system includes a receptacle that is configured to be coupled to a luminaire. Further, the modular sensor system includes a sensor housing that is configured house a sensor device therein. The sensor housing includes flexible snap fit features that are configured to removably couple the sensor housing to the receptacle by a twist and lock mechanism. Each flexible snap fit feature includes a curved cantilever snap fit defined by a portion of the sidewall of the sensor housing and a hook that extends radially outward from the curved cantilever snap fit. The hooks are configured to engage corresponding slots in the receptacle to couple the sensor housing to the receptacle by rotating the sensor housing within the receptacle in a first direction. The hooks are also configured to decouple the sensor housing from the receptacle by further rotating the sensor housing in the first direction.

A mounting system includes a threaded body that is configured to securely retain an electronic component therein. The threaded body includes a core that defines an inner cavity extending therethrough, and a bottom flange that extends radially outward from an annular bottom edge of the core. The threaded body includes a plurality of fins that are substantially vertically oriented and extend radially outward from the core. The outer edges of the plurality of fins are indexed to collectively form a helical structure that defines a screw thread. The mounting system also includes a nut member that defines a center cavity that extends therethrough and includes an inner flange that defines a complementary screw thread. The mounting system is installed in the ceiling tile by removably coupling the nut member to the threaded body such that the ceiling tile is clamped between the bottom flange and the nut member.
