I spent a lot of time looking for the perfect fan for our great room which has an 18 foot ceiling. I would have preferred to have an integrated LED light and an in-wall remote but those were secondary considerations for me. I could not find any other fan with a blade style similar to this George Kovacs unique design.
This fan comes with a 100 watt halogen, E11 type, bulb. I had an electrician install it and he verified the answer I received prior to purchase that the halogen could be replaced with an LED, E11 dimmable bulb. The fan also comes with a matching wood tone metal shade which can be used in lieu of the glass if one does not wish to have a light.
The fan is very quiet but it moves a lot of air even at low settings. It is gorgeous, off or on, and provides a dramatic accent to my room. I also purchased a matching 6 foot downrod. Prior to installation, I had two in the wall switches, one for the fan and one for the lights. Now, only one of the switches works, and it just turns the power to the fan and light on or off. This is not a problem for me because I usually prefer the same settings and the fan and lights revert back to the last used settings when the power is turned back on. If I need to change it, I have the included remote mounted on the back angle of the wall, unseen but very handy.
I am absolutely delighted with the look of this fan. The electrician who installed it was impressed too and wrote down the model number since he was looking for a new fan. He installs a lot of fans so I found his opinion worth noting.
So, although, I thought I was choosing form over function, I happily found out that I can use an LED bulb and that my wall switch works quite nicely along with the remote. This is my perfect fan :)
