Light emitting element with integrated ionizer

A device comprising (i) a light generating device, (ii) an air ionizer device, and (iii) an airflow device, wherein:

• the device comprises one or more first openings and a front part comprising one or more second openings;
• the air ionizer device is configured to generate in an operational mode positively charged particles at a first electrode and negatively charged particles at a second electrode;
• the airflow device is configured to generate in the operational mode a first airflow entraining the positively charged particles and a second airflow entraining the negatively charged particles;
• wherein the one or more first openings are configured upstream of the airflow device and the electrodes;
• wherein a first part of the one or more second openings is configured downstream of the airflow device and the first electrode, and a second part of the one or more second openings is configured downstream of the airflow device and the second electrode;
• the device comprises a light emitting area, from which during operation of the light generating device device light escapes from the device, wherein the front part comprises the light emitting area;
• the device comprises one or more solid state light sources and a front element, wherein the front element comprises an optical element, wherein the optical element is configured downstream of the one or more solid state light sources, wherein the first part and the second part at least partly enclose the optical element;
• wherein the front element comprises a central part and a peripheral part, wherein the central part comprises the optical element, wherein the peripheral part comprises the first part and the second part.
