Patent number: 9933153Abstract: A lighting and fan combination device is disclosed where the lighting can be mounted on a housing of the fan. One or more light and fan combination members can be connected to a mount that allows the device to be mounted to a wall, ceiling, or other structure. The lighting component may be separable from the fan housing and can be interchanged with other types of lighting components. The lighting elements may be LEDs or other lighting elements.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2015Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Inventor: Robert William Mitchell
