Ceiling fans with lights

Choosing a ceiling fans with light

There are different alternatives to refresh your home. One option is ceiling fans with lights. Keeping the following factors in mind will help you sift through all the options so you arrive at the best choice for your home.

The right size of ceiling fans with lights

Size is the most important factor to consider before you buy a ceiling fan. If you choose one that is too small for a room, it will not circulate air throughout the room. The opposite is true. A fan that is too big for a room will make a room too cold or too warm. If a room has a high ceiling, consider installing more than just one fan on either end of the room.

Having determined whether you need a small or large fan or maybe two fans, you need to get the dimensions right. Measurements are indicated by blade span. This is the diameter of the circle of the blade which is referred to as their sweep. If you plan to buy a fan with an even number of blades, determine its span by measuring the diameter of the fan. If it will have an odd number of blades, take the measurement from the middle of the fan to the end and multiply this number by two. 

Having got the measurements right, you can then think of the look you want when you go to winter ventilation. Options include industrial size multi-blade fans that are oversize. These are popular for their style and efficient air circulation. 

In our retractable ceiling fans section, you can discover all models that have this incredible function. They are really useful in small rooms, or when we don't want the blades to be visible. 

The right motor for ceiling fans with lights

Ceiling fans must have a strong motor if it is to work efficiently and last long. A good motor will also ensure that it does not wobble. One with a DC motor is recommended. This is for their energy efficiency, more speed options and a reverse function compared to standard AC motors. The reverse function makes it possible to use them all year round by switching the direction of the blades so they blow hot or cool air. These DC motor features give even small ones a lot of power.

Having got the most important factors like size right, you can think of accessory options. Lights are one such accessory. If you so wish, you can choose a ceiling fan without light. You can buy such a fan and then buy a light kit attachment separately. These type of lights are dimmable and the most energy-efficient.

For controls, the most convenient option is remote control ceiling fan with light. The most modern models don't need additional wiring. These work with radio frequency so they work like a remote that is fixed on wall. Others use Bluetooth technology so they can be controlled remotely via an app on a smartphone.
