A starter stopper for use with a high intensity discharge (HID) lighting source includes a timer and switch. The timer controls the durations of on-time and off-time periods during an energizing period. The starter stopper connects the HID lighting source to power to start the HID lighting source during on-time periods, and disconnects the HID lighting source from the power to start the HID lighting source during off-time periods. A method of starting and stopping an HID lighting source includes initiating an energizing period in response to application of power to a starter stopper, enabling the HID lighting source to be connected to power to start the HID lighting source during on-time periods by the starter stopper, enabling the HID lighting source to be disconnected from the power to start the HID lighting source during off-time periods by the starter stopper, and stopping the energizing period in response to removal of the power to the starter stopper.

A compact luminaire which includes a housing, a ballast, and a first and second electrical component. The housing has a back and a perimeter wall which extends generally perpendicularly from the back. The perimeter wall has a top wall portion, a bottom wall portion disposed in a downward direction with respect to the top wall portion and sidewall portions connecting the top wall portion and the bottom wall portion. The ballast is mounted to the back adjacent the bottom wall portion and is substantially equidistant to the side wall portions and the first and second electrical components are mounted to the housing on opposite sides of the ballast in a balanced fashion.

A receptacle assembly for a twist-lock photocontrol that is mounted on a luminaire housing. The assembly includes a receptacle and a spring clamp. The receptacle has a disc portion with a hub extending from the central portion of the back side, a perimeter side wall with a castellated bottom edge that engages stops on the luminaire housing. Three fingers extend from the back side of the disc and terminate at a lip edge. The spring clamp has a substantially flat, ring-shaped body that includes a top surface, an opening, an inner edge, an outer edge, and at least one pair of spring members. The receptacle is attached to a luminaire housing using the spring clamp. The orientation of the receptacle can be adjusted and can be locked into a stationary position without tools.
