Abstract
An integrated ceiling device includes integrated ceiling device including an electronic device housing, a heat dissipating structure, a light source, and a reflection/refraction assembly. An air gap is defined between the electronics housing and other components allowing ambient air to flow therethrough for cooling.
Claims19
A light emitting apparatus comprising:
- a device housing that retains a power supply;
- a heat dissipating structure that is coupled to the device housing with a plurality of support arms that hold the device housing and heat dissipating structure in a coaxial relationship, the device housing within an inner periphery of the heat dissipating structure;
- a light source coupled to a bottom face of the heat dissipating structure;
- an optical lens coupled to the heat dissipating structure and configured to direct light emitted by the light source downwardly toward a floor below;
- and
- an electrical switch disposed on an exterior surface of the device housing, the electrical switch configured to controllably change a mode of operation of an electronic device coupled to the light emitting apparatus, wherein
- a plurality of gaps between the device housing and the heat dissipating structure that are sized to permit air to flow therethrough to cool the device housing and the heat dissipating structure by convection, the plurality of gaps each being a through air opening arranged such that a rise in temperature due to operation of the light source causes ambient temperature air to flow unobstructed upward from below the light emitting apparatus, past the heat dissipating structure, and exit above the light emitting apparatus.

A light emitting apparatus comprising:
- a device housing that retains a power supply;
- a heat dissipating structure that is coupled to the device housing with a plurality of support arms that hold the device housing and heat dissipating structure in a coaxial relationship, the device housing being within an inner periphery of the heat dissipating structure, wherein a plurality of through air openings between the device housing and the heat dissipating structure permit air that is heated by operation of the light source to rise and flow through the plurality of through air openings to cool the device housing and the heat dissipating structure by convection, the plurality of through air openings allow for unobstructed air flow from below the light emitting apparatus, past the heat dissipating structure, and exit above the light emitting apparatus;
- a first light source coupled to a bottom face of the heat dissipating structure;
- an optical lens coupled to the heat dissipating structure and configured to direct light emitted by the first light source downwardly toward a floor below;
- an electrical switch disposed on an exterior surface of the device housing, and configured to controllably change a mode of operation of an electronic device coupled to the light emitting apparatus;
- and
- a second light source coupled to a bottom face of the device housing and configured to direct light toward a path of egress below, the second light source is connected to a backup power supply that supplies electricity to operate the second light source upon interruption of power to the first light source.
