Abstract: A combination fan and light unit comprises a housing surrounding a coaxial fan disposed such that air impelled by the fan passes through the housing and is directed as desired by orienting the housing or by diffusers disposed across the air path. Disposed above and/or below the housing, a light optionally enclosed within a globe coupled to the housing also provides illumination from the fan light unit. Fan light units may be arrayed in various configurations, including single or multiple sconce arrays supported on walls, one or more pendant fan lights suspended from ceilings, satellite fan lights arrayed around a central body at the ends of radial arms to form a fan chandelier or in many other configurations to achieve both aesthetic lighting and directed air flow. The fan lights preferably have separate controls, and multiple units in a collective array such as a fan chandelier may be individually or collectively controllable.

Abstract: A fan chandelier having a central body bearing lighting units with built-in fans, the lighting units preferably disposed at the ends of arms arrayed radially in satellite fashion about the central body. The central body, which also or alternatively may include lights and a fan, distributes power to drive all the fans and lights. The fans concealed within the satellite lighting units preferably have separately controllable, individual electric motors and may include heater strips to warm the air. In an alternate embodiment, the satellite fans may couple through flexible cables and a transmission within the central body to a single motor. The entire array creates air movement as effective as that of a ceiling fan of similar size, while also lighting a room in a fashion aesthetically pleasing enough to serve as a chandelier, complete with optional light refracting crystals.
