Lighting and ventilating system and method
First Claim
1. 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;
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;
a lamp housing coupled to the region, the lamp housing including a set of illumination devices;
a fan wheel supported in the main housing and operable to generate a flow of air into the grille, then into the inlet, past the fan wheel and through the outlet;
a plate coupled to the grille, the plate including an aperture having a textured surface; and
a lens coupled to the plate so that the lens is adjacent to the set of illumination devices.

Abstract
Embodiments of the invention provide a lighting and ventilating system including a main housing. The main housing can include an inlet through which air can be received within the main housing and an outlet through which the air can exit the main housing. A fan wheel can be supported in the main housing and it can be operable to generate a flow of air. A grille can be coupled to the main housing and the grille can comprise a plurality of apertures and a second set of illumination devices. The system further can include a lamp housing coupled to the grille, the lamp housing can include a first set of illumination devices. Also, a plate can be coupled to the grille so that the plate is adjacent to the second set of illumination devices.
