I have fans in every room  in my  forty year old house.  They all have light fixtures and I have eight foot ceilings.  My son is 67 tall.  He has to stoop  under the two family room lights.  The light I purchased  will sit on the ceiling  between the two fans and I can remove  the fan lights.  The light  fixture  is stylish and has given us a change weve needed for many years.
