The housing includes a housing box (15) with a conventional fan scroll (17) having an electric fan (16) mounted therein. The housing also includes a ceiling plate (21) configured to cover the housing box from view. The ceiling plate includes a decorative features (22) and an array of air intake ports (23) extend through the ceiling plate and positioned within a decorative feature to camouflage the air intake port from view. The light kit includes a plurality of light arms (26) which terminate with a light housing (27) and diffuser (28). The spacial relationship between the ceiling plate and the majority of the light kit structure further obscures the air intake ports from view, prevents the build up of heat within the housing, and creates a better airflow pattern within the room in which the light is mounted.
