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.

2. 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. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7)

8. 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. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
