Thank you for sharing this. I agree with the “simple is best” approach. Many times I’ve gone to a customers house to hang a fan and it’s a big headache with multiple decorative parts. Some have even had hanging crystals I had to attach one by one. My rule of thumb is the less surface area the less dust can collect and less cleaning. Thanks again for your advice. http://www.lcfanman.com

Mary,

I’m in the exact same search! I need a ceiling fan with a bright light as its the main light source for the living room. What ceiling fan did you decide, and are you happy with it?
thanks so much,
Carrie

It’s hard to find a cute ceiling fan and this is FANTASTIC round up! Thank you! I have a question though: I need to replace a couple of ugly ceiling fans in bedrooms where they are the only light source. The current fixtures each take four 60-watt equivalent bulbs, which has been a nice amount of light for the rooms. When I look at the newer integrated LED ceiling fan lights, they are mostly about 800 lumens, which I understand is about the equivalent brightness of one 60-watt bulb. That’s a 1/4 of the brightness compared to what we have and I’m worried it will be too dim. I did find one that said 1400 lumens, but that’s still less than half as bright. What has been your experience installing one of these in a bedroom? Is it bright enough to light a bedroom well? Or do you have any suggestions for how to find a ceiling fan with a higher lumen number? I’ve spent so much time looking unsuccessfully. Thank you!
