Abstract: A ceiling fan having illumination sources that are mounted to the fan blades is disclosed. Each fan blade has a lighting strip with a plurality of light sources along its length provided along the midline of each blade. Two sets of concentric races having rolling bodies therebetween provide the conductive connection between the rotating illumination sources and the stationary electrical power supply wires. Each set of concentric races includes an inner stationary race and an outer rotating race. The lights attached to the fan blades are connected in parallel to the outer rotating races. Separate switches control the fan and lighting functions.
