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 an acoustic tile, the surround having tabs; and
a light emitting diode (LED) mounted on an outward facing side of the surround.
2. The lighting device as recited in claim 1 , further including a driver to condition 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 tabs position and secure the tile.
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.
