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.
