This fan light is classy and definitely an update from my previous ceiling far with colonial style lights. This is modern and also does not have a huge diameter, the small interior fun inside the fixture cools the room nicely. The fan/light is on a wall switch, and I mounted the remote for the fan in a holder remote next to the light switch. The light can accommodate low or high-watt bulbs depending on the light you want for the room. Our friend installed this with ease. This modern light is a welcome change in our family room!
