Light kit is fine and works well on Hunter fan.Surprised to find it uses Candelabra bulbs since the description on Amazon stated that it uses stardard bulbs.
The light can not be turned up enough. It should allow for more wattage and CFL bulbs...The fan looks and works great though
Fan looks nice, nice remote features, but quickly died after running fine for a few weeks. No technical support, manual is useless, not much good without remote (can't direct wire and access all features unless you buy more parts), no company web site (who is Casa Vieja?).
Difficult to find lightbulb for ceiling fans works well.
This little fan is perfect for my loft. Just the right size.High quality.Kinda cute.
Very happy with this fan.For a 30" blade, it really puts out a lot of airflow.This fan is outside on a porch so having a fan especially made for damp areas was important.I'm also very pleased with Delmar Designs.We had a problem with the initial shipment as the incorrect fan was sent and we did not notice it until it had already been installed.Their customer service was great and promptly ordered the correct fan and had it shipped prior to our returning the incorrect fan.No restock fee either.Very happy with their service.
I have not yet purchased this product because it does not give the distance down from the ceiling.I need a real short "hugger" fan. It is not possible to tell from the photo, some numbers would be helpful
I bought this fan because it (a) is a hugger fan, meaning it's not very tall, (b) is available in white--so it tends to blend in with the ceiling color, and (c) does not require you to use a remote control (I already had two wall switches for it and many of the remote control ones won't let you wire for use without the remote AND maintain full control).
If you are not someone that can add and build electrical appliances without instructions, you will find this fan nearly impossible to install!
This is a gorgeous and well-designed fan.The manufacturer has used quality materials to achieve first-rate performance and a beautiful look.I anticipate that it will provide my family with many years of faithful service, and draw numerous compliments for its dramatic appearance.There's just one little problem:for the first few days after installation, it SMELLS.It's not an "electrical" or "burning wires" smell, but a smell that is vaguely reminiscent of a magic marker.After doing a bit of googling, I found that this problem is rather widespread by customers who have purchased Hunter fans over the past several years.The general consensus was that apparently during production, they use either a chemical dip or some other process which coats the fan motor and takes awhile to "burn off."This supposedly creates the smell.I contacted Hunter Customer Service several times about this.The first rep contended that she had never heard of this particular problem, and said I could return the fan for a replacement.(It was at this point I did the googling.)I then contacted Hunter again and the second rep said he usually told customers who called with this complaint that the smell should go away "after 24-48 hours" of fan operation.I found this to be the case (although after about a week, I still smell the faintest hint of magic marker after running the fan on high only.It's nowhere near as noticeable as when first installed).When I browsed the internet for the best deal before I made my purchase from Amazon.com, I noticed that most merchants were offering a great price--and one even had the fan marked for "clearance."Now - after the fact - I'm wondering whether this was as a result of customer complaints about the smell.In any event - I'm keeping the fan for the reasons I mentioned in the first three sentences of this review.However, I can't give it a 5-star recommendation.
This fan has an early 1900's look that is fantastic. Seems to be cast metal that has an intricate pattern. Very different. Very impressive.
We purchased this fan 4 years ago, and it has been wonderful.Still does not make a sound when running. The finish on it is beautiful - no faux wood look.The only drawback to this fan is the shades.They are paper, and after time, they dry out and actually start to shrivel and crack.I'm afraid that they could actually become a fire hazard.
This is one of the most disappointing fan I've ever owned. It has already needed replacing 2 times and when the light went out the glass could not be removed and when I called tech support they told me to shatter the glass and they would send a new one. Why would I spend $600 for something that requires me to shatter glass all over my house. Just trying to remove the glass has destroyed the fans alignment and I am now afraid to turn the fan on due to its wild spinning.
You get quality with an Emerson.The wireless remote is awesome.Excellent improvement for the Do It Your-Selfer.
We've only had this a few days, but I really love it. We thought we'd use the white side of the blades, but loved the graphite color - which looks spectacular against the brushed aluminum fixtures. It's modern without trying too hard and really well priced. We like this fan so much, we've already ordered another one!
This is good-looking fan!I love the remote control for operation & it's a Hunter & the quality shows. We used flush-mount & it looks very good.I like having the choice of 2 colors for the blades..we use black side & it looks sharp with the bronze finish.The price is about the best I could find anywhere plus free shipping made it a bargain.
This is one of the few ceiling fans that doesn't look completely hideous (and is less than $500).I paid $169 on sale at Lamps Plus.Casa Vieja seems to be manufactured by Lamps Plus, as LP was mentioned on the box and in the manual.
Love the design of this fan.Very quiet and lots of extras included in the product.Only drawback is that it provides very little light.If you are looking for a fan that provides high strength lighting this may not be the fan for you.The wattage of the light bulbs suggested is limited.I will need another type of light in the room where it is installed.If that is not a concern I would highly recommend this fan.Love the security feature it provides.
Beautiful fan, but uses small base(e12)style light bulbs. I use CFL's in most everything, and the candelabra lamps are often hard to find and 2-3X the price of an Edison (regular) style lamp.
I was shopping for a new fan when I noticed this model.It looked just like the dead fan hanging in my great room so I checked - and it is a Casablanca as well.I got less than two years of light use out of mine before it died.When I read that another reviewer had the same problem, I felt compelled to share my experience.Don't let the good looks fool you - these fans are beautiful, but junk.This time I want one that spins.;)
