1. A lighting device comprised of:
- a housing defining a passageway therethrough, the housing having a first end and a second end with a base plate attached to the second end, and at least one attachment point extending from the housing;
a reflector positioned within the housing, the reflector having an illumination end and a bottom end proximal to the base plate;
a printed circuit board adjacent the bottom end of the reflector;
a plurality of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) electrically connected to the printed circuit board;
a first lens adjacent to the first end of the housing; and
a mounting flange circumscribing the housing, said mounting flange defining at least one opening capable of receiving the at least one attachment point such that the housing is mounted within one of an aircraft bulkhead and an overhead panel.

Abstract
A lighting fixture for providing illumination comprising a housing, a printed circuit board, and a plurality LEDs connected to the printed circuit board. Optionally an emergency LED may also be included. A heat sink is connected to the housing and printed circuit board. Each of the plurality of the LEDs is mounted on the heat sink. A reflector is disposed inside the housing such that the light from the LEDs is mixed together and projected out of the illumination end of the housing by the surface of the reflector. The lighting fixture is received into a mounting flange assembly. A method for providing illumination using the above.
