1. An air movement and recirculation device comprising:
a housing, said housing including a fan chamber, a troffer cavity positioned in proximity to the fan chamber;
the housing including a frame;
a first fan positioned in the housing within a fan cavity wherein the fan rotates in a first direction to generate an air flow into the fan chamber, the fan aligned with a fan intake grill in the housing;
a vented mechanical equipment casing affixed to the housing in proximity of the fan cavity wherein the vented mechanical equipment casing includes a first openings configured to divert a portion of the air exiting the fan chamber into the troffer cavity;
an LED light fixture having a determined temperature affixed to the housing and positioned in the troffer cavity wherein a portion of the LED light fixture is positioned within the troffer cavity and the troffer cavity configured to direct a flow of the air from the fan chamber such that the flow of air operates to cool the LED light fixture; and
the vented mechanical equipment casing configured to form an equipment chamber wherein the vented mechanical equipment casing houses mechanical equipment associated with the LED light fixture positioned in the equipment chamber, the mechanical equipment having a predetermined temperature;
the vented mechanical equipment casing configured to include an opening to direct a portion of the air of the air exiting the fan chamber into the equipment chamber wherein the flow of air into the equipment chamber is directed to encounter the equipment and operates to reduce the predetermined temperature of the equipment.
