I bought 4 of these fans.One is very loud and attempts to dim the fan when you press the second speed on the remote. It then turns the light on and off with a clicking noise. Very disturbing and a waste of $350 as the company basically told me to go pound sand when I wrote asking for help.Update *** after having one of the in my bedroom for a year- the remote loses contact with the fan so i cant turn it on.  Ive tried replacing the battery but no luck.Also, as someone else noted, the light is like a spotlight.  The position, over the foot of the bed, is a poor place for this fan as the harsh spotlight bothers the eyes if you try to read or watch tv with it on.
