Lighting and ventilating system and method

A lighting and ventilating system comprising:

• a main housing including an inlet through which air is received within the main housing and an outlet through which the air exits the main housing, the inlet being disposed substantially perpendicular to the outlet;
• a grille coupled to the main housing, the grille including a region and comprising a plurality of apertures substantially around the perimeter of the region and disposed adjacent a plurality of light-emitting diodes;
• a plate coupled to the grill, the plate including a plate aperture having a textured surface;
• a lens supported by the plate and disposed adjacent the plurality of light-emitting diodes;
• and
• a fan wheel supported in the main housing to generate a flow of air past the lens, the grille and the plurality of light-emitting diodes, into the inlet, past the fan wheel and out the outlet.
