This looked like a great fan for our large room with cathedral ceiling. The problem came when I tried to buy a light fixture for it. The fan can only be operated with the remote, and the remote will not work with CFLs. As we all know, incandescent bulbs will become unavailable. Bottom line was 3 candelabra base 40 w bulbs was not nearly enough for primary lighting in this room. "Due to government legislation regarding the efficiency and wattage ceiling fan light fixtures (EPACT 2005), ... most fixtures that used Medium Base Bulbs in the past will be changed to use Candelabra Base Bulbs. Also, since the legislation mandates that the total wattage of a ceiling fan light cannot exceed 190Watts, the maximium wattage of the bulbs may be lowered to meet this criteria and will most likely have a limiting fuse designed to trigger if you use bulbs that exceed this wattage." Probably a terrific fan if you don't want to add a light kit.

We bought and [professionally] installed two of these fans high above our great room. At just "speed 2" (the second slowest fan speed of 7 speeds), warm air is moved efficiently some twenty feet downward. Fans are silent, sip energy, and work as described. While I wanted the energy efficiency, my wife was quite pleased with the fine appearance. Expensive, but I think it's worth the investment.
