Claim 6:
7. An integrated ceiling device comprising:
a first light source;
a planar heat dissipating structure that includes
at least two coupled heat dissipating fins,
a ring shaped protective frame positioned at a perimeter of the heat dissipating structure,
an electronic device housing that at least in part extends above the heat dissipating structure and has a vertical axis that is substantially aligned with a central vertical axis of the heat dissipating structure, the electronic device housing is distally located from the heat dissipating structure and is connected to the heat dissipating structure via at least two support arms, the electronic device having an internal space that hosts a power supply for the first light source coupled to a bottom face of the heat dissipating structure and is oriented to emit light toward a room below, wherein,

the at least two heat dissipating fins extend upward from a top face of the heat dissipating structure and radially outward with respect to the central vertical axis of the heat dissipating structure to beyond the perimeter of the heat dissipating structure toward the ring shaped protective frame, and the at least two support arms that are coupled to surfaces of the electronic device housing,
a first through air opening is located between the heat dissipating structure and the protective frame,
a second through air opening is located between the electronic device housing and the heat dissipating structure,
the electronic device housing includes
a top mounting structure for the integrated ceiling device,
an access cover that provides access to the internal space of the electronic device housing, and
at least one access bore to provide a power or a power and data conductor access to the internal space, and

the electronic device housing, the heat dissipating structure, the protective frame, the first through air opening, and the second through air opening are arranged such that operation of the first light source heats ambient temperature air and induces heated air to rise from below the integrated ceiling device upward through the first through air opening, and
at least a portion of the heated air flows across the fins and through the second through air opening.
