Abstract
An aircraft ceiling module includes a ceiling panel with integrated lighting, valences and wiring. LED lighting units are mounted directly to the ceiling panel, and one or more valence panels are connected to the ceiling panel to shield the LED lighting units. The valence panels are integral to the ceiling panel, and provide structural stiffness to overall construction of the ceiling module. Wiring connected to the LED lighting units is integrated into the ceiling panel.
