Whenever I broached the subject of of looking into ceiling fans that came with lights, I literally cringed. It was unbearable.. I had two seemingly valid concerns. First, in my experience the blades would cast long shadows and those shadows would constantly rotate. Second, I thought that whenever I wanted the fan, the light would remain rotating and if I just wanted the fan, the light would remain on. Both concerns have been debunked. But overall the designs usually never attracted me. Well that was until today when I found one of the most elegant and functional ceiling fans.
Well, it turns out, my initial impression, and my dominating penchant against ceiling fan lights were based on my childhood memory of my aunt’s house that had a really annoying ceiling fan that had an inbuilt light that face upwards. The rotation of the shadows cause me to feel sea-sick every time .
Nonetheless, the ceiling fan lights of today have just been revolutionized. Today they represent the modern technological marvel. Just like everything else of this generation from cars to watches, everything is just amazing. Did you know that when the first Apollo rocket flew into space, the on board computer was so large, it could fill a room and yet it was only a fraction of power and speed of today’s slowest computer that my son uses. . The one I read about today apparently came with an elaborate remote control even better than my present light fixtures. You are able to turn it on and off -well that’s basic, you can adjust the speed of the fan, you can even make the fan rotate in the opposite direction. All this from the comfort of your recliner. And, by the way, you can even put it on time if you want it to turn off on its own.
And that’s just for the fan. In other words, it comes with a dimmer – I wish they would make bathroom light fixtures that had remotes too. The great thing about the lights is that they are not ordinary light bulbs and there are two sets of them. The one above was is used to cast soft lighting and reflect it off the ceiling.
Since they were LEDs, you could remotely change the color of the light and have the ceiling reflect a rainbow of colors. The deluxe model even come with a star model that has the function of peppering the ceiling with tiny dots of lights. So on a dark night, you select this mode and it looks like the ceiling is full of stars.
The base model doesn’t have all the fancy stuff, but it still works a lot better than I expected. This are also led lights and are omnidirectional. So, once again there is no issue of the beam cutting across moving blades and casting a shadow. Instead these down lights take advantage of the latest LED technology in a ceiling fan light to illuminate a 30 ft x 30 ft room effortlessly.
