Lighting device with integral acoustic dampening
A lighting fixture includes a surround formed to receive a tile therein, the surround having an outward facing side. The surround includes tabs that permit suspension of the surround in a ceiling grid. A light emitting diode (LED) is mounted on the outward facing side of the surround. A driver is connected to the LED to provide power to the LED for directing light from the outward facing side.
1. A lighting fixture, comprising:
a surround formed to receive a tile therein, the surround having an outward facing side, the surround including tabs that permit suspension of the surround in a ceiling grid;
a light emitting diode (LED) mounted on the outward facing side of the surround; and
a driver connected to the LED to provide power to the LED for directing light from the outward facing side.
2. The lighting device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the driver conditions power from alternating current to direct current.
3. The lighting device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the light emitting diode is formed on a panel.
4. The lighting device as recited in claim 3 , wherein the panel is removable from the surround.
5. The lighting device as recited in claim 4 , wherein the surround includes alignment tabs to position the panel.
6. The lighting device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the surround includes tabs to position and secure the tile when placed therein.
7. The lighting device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the surround includes a conductive material and functions as a heat sink for the LED.
8. The lighting device as recited in claim 1 , further comprising a tile secured within the surround.
9. The lighting device as recited in claim 8 , wherein the tile includes an acoustic tile.
10. The lighting device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the lighting fixture fits within a single opening in a ceiling grid.
11. A lighting fixture, comprising:
a surround including a conductive structure with openings formed therein and configured to fit and be secured within a ceiling grid, the surround having an outward facing side;
a tile insertable within the surround and secured by tabs of the surround;
one or more light emitting diodes (LEDs) mounted on the outward facing side of the surround; and
a driver connected to the LED to provide power to the LED for directing light from the outward facing side.
12. The lighting device as recited in claim 11 , wherein the driver conditions power from alternating current to direct current.
