Abstract
A hybrid light and fan fixture includes a plurality of LED lights surrounding a fan and its motor within a housing. A connector is made to allow the hybrid fixture to be installed in a conventional light socket for 110v electrical power. An alternative embodiment includes either or both features of a set or rotatable deflector blades and a serpentine heating element to more positively influence the air flow created by the fan and make the air stream more effective in de-fogging the mirror. Preferably, the fixture includes a circuit that allows the lights to be energized with and without the fan and heating element.
