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. Until earlier today. I was looking for a simple ceiling fan and came across a very elegant and functional ceiling fan light.

After a little fact finding I found out that the ceiling fan lights were really quite fabulous. As it were, my bias was rooted in a very real childhood memory of being subjected to the ceiling fan light at my aunt’s home. This design ha the lights below the spinner but faced upwards. This splashed shadows of rotating blades across the entire room and made me feel sea sick every time I visited her. In my defense, that was a very traumatic experience.

Nonetheless, the ceiling fan lights of today have just been revolutionized. Today’s ceiling fan lights come with advanced electronics that allow you to control them remotely. 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.

All that is just the function of the fan. This ceiling fan light comes with a control, built into the remote control, to adjust the luminosity of the light. In other words, it comes with a dimmer – I wish they would make bathroom light fixtures that had remotes too. The thing that really sold me was the fact that they had advanced technology lights ? two sets of them, one below the spinner and the other, above. The one above was is used to cast soft lighting and reflect it off the ceiling. With it positioned above the blades, no rotating shadow was cast.

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.
