Claim 0:
1. An air conditioner comprising:
a housing;
a heat exchanger provided in the housing;
a lower panel having a circular shape and separably coupled to the housing;
an intake port formed on the lower panel and configured to draw in air so that air flows through the heat exchanger;
a discharge port configured to:
discharge air passing through the heat exchanger, and
discharge air through an annular region between the lower panel and the housing;

a lighting device having a substantially annular shape, including a light source provided in the housing, and configured to emit light;
a cooling intake port configured to draw in air so that the air flows toward the lighting device, the cooling intake port having at least partially an annular shape;
a suction channel in communication with the intake port; and
a cooling channel configured to connect the cooling intake port to the suction channel and to guide a part of air suctioned in through the cooling intake port to flow around the lighting device,
wherein the suction channel is in communication with the cooling intake port such that the suction channel guides the air drawn in from the cooling intake port to the heat exchanger.
