Installed these this weekend. I’m no expert so it took a few hours. I installed not using the wall mount and with the light on a three way switch, or operating off of two light switches.  We had two fans operating off of the three way switch.  You will have to either use the wall mount or the remote to operate, however, once installed when you turn the switch on the wall they will start at whatever speed you last had on. They look awesome!  Were hoping that the blades withstand warping and based on the feel and look of them I’m pretty sure they will withstand  the weather on our patio. I’m extremely pleased with our purchase.
