1. A fixture comprising:
- a central light source;
an air supply duct having a connection point, in a center portion of the fixture;
a flow straightener, wherein the flow straightener routes an air supply through an adjustable flow splitter and around the central light source and out through a series of slots arranged symmetrically perpendicular to an axis of the fixture;
at least one light source on an outer edge of each of the series of slots arranged symmetrically perpendicular to the axis of the fixture, and wherein the central light source is shorter in length than the at least one light source on the outer edge of each of the series of slots; and
an air mixing zone, which receives the air supply from an adjustable flow splitter, the air mixing zone located beneath the central light source and between the at least one light sources.

Abstract
A ceiling mounted fixture, which includes at least one longitudinal arrangement of at least one air vent adapted to receive an air supply, and at least two longitudinal arrangements of at least one light source. The at least one longitudinal arrangement of at least one air vent is positioned between the at least two longitudinal arrangements of light sources. The fixture also includes a plenum with an airflow guide adapted to receive the air supply from the at least one longitudinal arrangement of at least one air vent.

21. A ceiling mounted fixture system adapted to be located along a lab'"'"'s central axis to create a sweeping airflow from a center portion of the lab to a perimeter thereof comprising:
-
a plurality of linear fixtures comprising; a central light source; an air supply duct having a connection point in a center portion of the fixture; a flow straightener, wherein the flow straightener routes an air supply through an adjustable flow splitter and around the central light source and out through a series of slots arranged symmetrically perpendicular to an axis of the fixture; at least one light source on an outer edge of each of the series of slots arranged symmetrically perpendicular to the axis of the fixture; and an interior air mixing plenum located beneath the central light source and between the at least one light source on an outer edge of each of the series of slots arranged symmetrically perpendicular to the axis of the fixture; and wherein the plurality of linear fixtures are aligned in a row along the center portion of the lab to maximize the overall room airflow patterns and ambient air mixing.
