This is such a nice fan. The bulbs are included as well. My husband was able to put it together in under two hours. ( he stopped and started) The lights adjust/ dim with the pull of a string. (Such a neat feature) . We replaced a fan that had been up for many years; it would shake, this one on the highest setting does not. My husband has never enjoyed putting together ANYTHING, when he finished he said, “ this fan is engineered very well, even the directions were clear”.
