1. A light emitting apparatus comprising:
a base support section configured to be anchored to an anchoring structure below;
a heatsink coupled above the base support section and having at least two exterior surfaces;
a light source module including two light sources coupled to the at least two exterior surfaces of the heatsink, light emitted by the two light sources is not directed above horizontal with respect to the two light sources, and heat generated by the two light sources is conveyed by conduction to an interior of the heatsink;
a light source driver that provides electrical power to the two light sources;
a driver housing that retains the light source driver therein and is coupled above the heatsink;
an air intake gap located between the base support section and the heatsink; and
an air exhaust gap located between the heatsink and the driver housing,
wherein:
respective exterior profiles of the base support section, the heatsink, and the driver housing are substantially similar, and an interior of at least the base support section and the heatsink have at least one vertical through opening, and
heat generated by the two light sources that is conveyed to the interior of the heatsink is exhausted by air that enters the interior of the heatsink through the air intake gap and exits the heatsink through the air exhaust gap.
