Black 18W 3CCT LED Low Profile Retractable Ceiling Fan Light

So I planned on putting this in my living room to replace a 15 year old working fan that just didn't put out enough light for the space. I hoped the LED would on this but it doesn't, so I banished this one to the master bedroom where I don't need as much light. Very easy install but I have done many ceiling fans in my day, so that likely has something to do with it. The fan certainly moves some air and has plenty of modes for light and fan speeds. Now to the down sides. This thing is cheap feeling. Lightweight plastic blades, which I was very surprised was balanced. The motor shroud/cover was crooked so once the blades were installed and would rotate, they would rub on one side of the cover. I had to manhandle the cover a few times to "bend" it straight so it didn't make contact. Probably the worse thing about this fan is that you cannot wire the light to a separate switch. So the wall switch turns it all off or all on, which for me is no good. I keep my fan running all the time and the light on only when I need it. And when you do use the switch to cut all power to the fan, the next time you turn it on the light changes to the next color in line. So you have to repeat it a couple times until you get the light you want. The fan should remember the last setting and revert to that.

Great product. This ceiling fan has SIX different speeds, something i have NEVER had in a ceiling fan before. I didnt even know they existed, actually. And this thing is really quiet. There is none of that whah-whah-whah sound you sometimes get with a fan, no noisy motor, just a nice quiet breeze. Like all fans, it is reversible, one direction for summer and another for winter. I dont use the winter direction as my vents are in the ceiling, which is 9 foot in height, so i actually want the air to blow down into our room in winter. The remote controls everything: all six speeds, light, direction, and the "anti-theft" mode as they call it. What this mode does is turn the light on for a short time (five minutes) every two hours. It comes with two different sized downrods, which is good as everyone has differnetn ceiling heights. The bedroom i installed it in has a sloped ceiling, and with the 5" downrod it hangs perfectly. Install was easy, but i have put up and taken down so many fans over the years i don't need to look at directions. These directions are straightforward, and the wording is NOT some garbled mess that is more humourous than helpful. These are good directions, and i have included pictures of them as part of this review, hopefully to help someone with not much experience figure out how to hang it before it arrives, or to have the directions here on Amazon so if you lose them (like i lose everything) then you can come here for reference. Great fan overall, i definitely recommend!

This is a very nice ceiling fan which reminds me of an airplane propeller, but it was very easy to read the instructions and assemble. I actually wired this one too in extension cord. Because I rent and prefer not to put a hole in. They're ceiling so the motor is hanging out of the side so I do kind of wish. The base of it that connects to the ceiling was larger, so we would have the option to drop the motor in that without having to cut open the ceiling.
