Anyone here interested in ceiling fans or light kits used in ceiling fans?  I've always been intrigued by ceiling fans and they are a necessary part of the house in the warm climate I live in. Below are a few fans from my grandparents' house (Please log in to view the pictures.)  A 1998 Hampton Bay with four blades and a 1991 Concord with five blades.  Both fans are 3-speed, and the Concord had a 3-way light kit.  The light kit on this one is 2-2-4-off.  The light kit uses R20 reflector bulbs.

Here's an industrial ceiling fan in an open-air beer brewery in my town.  It really is a big fan    These fans are designed for large open areas like grocery stores and restaurants.

My house has a few fans I could post pictures of. When we first moved here the only fan was an old 52" hugger with stencil blades but it's motor stopped working a few years ago and so it got replaced. The other fans we added over the years, some came from Menard's, some Craigslist or trash/garage sales. I actually repainted a Craftmade brass 52" fan last year and re-did the light kit. there's pictures somewhere in my gallery, it looks nice and modern now. If anyone's interested I can post pics of the other fans and the stories behind each one.

In my bedroom, there's a white Fasco ceiling fan, which has 5 blades. I tried to put a picture, but it was too big.

Here’s the Craftmade fan in my bedroom. This is original to the house, built in 2000. The fan is 3-speed with a 3-light kit. This fan still works nicely after nearly 20 years. It has developed a wobble at the high speed and I’ve had to go in and tighten some mounting screws and try to rebalance it. I have it on counter-clockwise for summer and for room cooling right now. I’ll switch it to clockwise for winter and cooler weather to see if it makes a difference with heating.

I’m using some common Hungarian GE A15’s in my fan now. Someone I know has a Casablanca Zephyr fan with a 4-light kit and a push button switch. It’s a 5 or 6 speed fan.  I’d like to find one of those nice fans of my own someday
