1. An air moving device comprising:

  • a housing having a first end and a second end;

    an impeller rotatably mounted within the housing adjacent the first end of the housing, the impeller having one or more rotor blades capable of directing a volume of air toward the second end of the housing;

    a nozzle having a connection end and an outlet end, the connection end of the nozzle connected to the second end of the housing, the nozzle and the housing forming an interior of the air moving device;

    a first bypass wall mounted between the impeller and the outlet end of the nozzle in the interior of the air moving device, an interior surface of the first bypass wall forming a bypass flow channel, the first bypass wall directing a bypass portion of the volume of air through the bypass flow channel toward the outlet end of the nozzle;

    a second bypass wall mounted in the interior of the air moving device between the impeller and the outlet end of the nozzle;

    one or more stator vanes positioned within the interior of the air moving device between the impeller and the outlet end of the nozzle, the one or more stator vanes configured to direct the volume of air out from the outlet end of the nozzle in a generally columnar manner;

    a light unit mounted within the interior of the air moving device; and

    a heat sink connected to the light unit and positioned at least partially within the interior of the air moving device such that some or all of the bypass portion of the volume of air passes over the heat sink.
