Ceiling Fans And Lights

[earth 0]

Hi all! Need some advise:

1. Am looking for ceiling fans, just plain black ones, without any of the fancy designs. With remote control. Does anyone have any brands and models to recommend? Other than the legendary Haiku fans haha

2. What light options do I have to go with my ceiling fans? I dont like fans with lights, i prefer not to go with having to fix downlights, false ceiling, L box etc. I dont mind a raw feel and my wiring to be unconcealed. Thinking of fixing track lighting, or pendent lights spaced away from the fan but am concerned with the shadows that might be caused by the fan. Does anyone have any experience to share?

Thanks in advance!!

Hello Earth,

We did some extensive research work on ceiling fans a earlier this year and compiled a comparison chart.

Check it out: Ceiling Fan comparison chart

Like you, we struggled with the Lbox and false ceiling decision. in the end, we used simple ceiling lights but had to locate them away from the ceiling fan to avoid "spinning shadows".

See our blog: False ceiling and Lbox

Trust it helps

For my previous place, we overcome this problem by installing a short rod fan (KDK V56VK) in the centre on the bare concrete ceiling with down lights and cove lights at the false ceiling at the sides. Works great. No flickering shadows.

So, for current place we used this same method for most of the rooms as well as the dining area.
