Abstract: A method is disclosed of modifying a lighting apparatus including a housing. The method involves detachably attaching at least one speaker to the housing when the at least one speaker is in the housing. At least one light source is detachably attachable to the housing independently from attachment of the at least one speaker to the housing. Lighting apparatuses are also disclosed.

Abstract: Improvements in a light with a speaker for home or business installation. The lighting fixture houses the audio receiver/audio amplifier for the speaker, the lighting element and control driver for the lighting element. Keeping all of these elements in the same fixture creates a single package for installation. The light emitting diode (LED) has a heatsink that conducts heat from the LED to an area at the top of the fixture. Diverting the heat away from the LED moves the heat away from the speakers and also opens the lower area of the fixture for better acoustics. The heatsink passes through a large diameter woofer that moves air for cooling of the heatsink and the LED lighting. The audio receiver/audio amplifier for the speaker can obtain an audio signal from a wired or wireless connection. A microphone can also be included for two-way communication.

Abstract: An audio-video (AV) system in one embodiment includes a mounting apparatus for mounting the system to a wall support located behind a wall surface and within an in-wall space. The mounting apparatus includes a support member for supporting at least one component in a support space within the in-wall space, a display mounting member 30 for mounting a display device, and a removable wall opening cover for concealing at least a portion of the in-wall space that would otherwise be visible through a wall opening to a viewer. Various multimedia-supportive devices, including loudspeakers and a subwoofer, may be concealed behind the cover in the in-wall space.
