FINXIN 52" Brushed Nickel Ceiling Fan with LED Light and Remote Control - 5-Blade Indoor Ceiling Fan for Bedroom, Living Room & Dining Room - Energy Efficient Quiet Motor - Perfect for Home Cooling and Decoration

Our old fan burned out and needed a new one. Got this one--mostly for the LED light. Despite having a remote control, I decided to bypass it since it would mean one of our switches to control the fan would do nothing and we already had wall switches to control the fan speed and dim the lights on a fan. The remote controller was nice, but not necessary in our case.Thus, we wired it directly into the power sources instead of wiring it through the remote control receiver...a device that hides in the top housing of the fan next to the electrical box. I don't have to worry about finding the remote control which I am famous for misplacing.I thought this would mean I couldn't control the different light modes, but not so. Simply turning the light switch on and off quickly cycled through the three light modes. Nice. The only thing I lost from bypassing the remote is we can't put the fan on a timer to turn off during the night if that is what someone wants.The fan itself looks nice and classy. The LED lights are brighter than my old fan, but it tends to act more like a spotlight, throwing most of its light down in a growing cone-like shape. The far edges of the room are in a bit of shadow, but it really isn't bad. It is still brighter than my old 4-light fan.The fan is silent. I don't hear it at all. Course I just installed it and am writing this review after only one day of use. But happy so far.Installation was a piece of cake, though the instructions were somewhat lacking. It was clearly translated into English. The unit comes from China--which is unfortunate (they even misspelled words on the box). The unit is not terribly heavy, so I didn't find it hard to lift it up and install. The instructions warn not to install yourself...I think they meant not to install the fan yourself :). I've been installed on the earth for over 40 years, too late not to be installed. :) Still, if you have a bit of electrical knowhow and experience, this should not be a problem for you.I recommend it.
