Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This fan works great! I installed it last night. It spins very quickly on its highest setting, and it moves a lot of air for its size. The bulb socket is a miniature Edison base rated at 65W, so it may be a bit dim for larger rooms.
I hooked this fan up to a fan/light control switch on the wall, so I wanted to remove the pullchains. To do so, perform the following BEFORE MOUNTING THE FAN and AT YOUR OWN RISK:
* Remove the three screws that hold the light socket over the housing, and pull open the cover.
* There are a bunch of wires and wire nuts that attach the fan speed pullchain, fan direction switch, and light pullchain together.
* Unscrew the fan speed pullchain switch and the light pullchain switch. Yank all the wires out of both switches.
* The black and blue wires go straight through the fan to the other side - they're coming directly from the source.
* To bypass the light pullchain, connect the blue wire to the black wire of the light socket.
* To bypass the fan pullchain, you'll need to fix the fan at the highest speed. Connect the purple (speed 1), yellow (speed 2), and orange (power) wires to the black wire (the source wire, not the light socket wire).
* Keep the red wire connected (that's the speed signal).
* Make sure to use wirenuts on all exposed connections!
* To tidy up the modification, I'd suggest yanking the pullchains out of the pullchain switches (tug hard!), then re-inserting the switches in the housing just to provide a clean (albeit pullchain-less) look to the outside.
* Re-attach the housing cover, making sure the indentation in the cover fits over the fan direction switch.
* When mounting, remember that the blue wire is for the light and the black wire is for the fan.
Notes from installation:
* When installing, do not attach the fan blades until AFTER you mount the motor to the ceiling. The canopy will not fit over the top - it must be installed from below, after you've finished your wiring.
* The fan provides separate light/fan power wires. If you're using the pullchains, connect BOTH blue (light) and black (fan) wires to the HOT supply.
