Abstract
An air moving device includes a housing member, a rotary fan assembly, and a nozzle. The air moving device further includes a light source member mounted within the nozzle. The light source member can be placed within a flow of air moving out the end of the nozzle in a generally columnar pattern. The flow of air can be used to cool the light source member. A portion of the nozzle can be transparent, allowing the light from the light source member to emanate radially, as well as longitudinally.

(canceled)
An air moving device comprising:
- a housing having a top and a bottom, the housing defining an outer wall;
- an impeller positioned within said housing;
- an annular interior wall having a top and a bottom;
- stators positioned between the interior wall and the outer wall of the housing;
- the impeller positioned such that air from the impeller moves along a first path between the interior wall and the outer wall and along a second path within said interior wall;
- the interior wall narrowing from its top to create an air flow;
- and
- a light source positioned to be within the air flow.

An air moving device comprising:
- a housing having an inlet, an outlet, an inner wall, and an outer wall;
- an impeller assembly positioned within the housing between the inlet and the outlet;
- a light assembly positioned at least partially within the housing downstream of the impeller assembly between the impeller assembly and the outlet, the light assembly having a interior;
- a primary air flow path defined between the light assembly and the inner wall of the housing;
- a plurality of stator vanes positioned within the housing in the primary air flow path between the impeller assembly and the outlet;
- and
- an opening between the impeller assembly and the light assembly within the housing, the opening configured to direct a portion of air from the primary flow path into the interior of the light assembly;
- wherein the interior of the light assembly is separated from the primary flow path by a wall.
