these are beautiful, strong, quiet and understated - exactly what I was looking for. **** these are HARD WIRED **** they DO NOT have chains for light/speed. All necessary equipment is included and the wall controls have been a plus for me but i mention them since I did not know they were hard wired at the time of purchase. I just happened to have the electrician around already (reno work) to install them for me.  I bought 4, 3 of them im using w/o the light and 1 with the light source. Both ways are great. great. great.
