We bought these to replace the older fans on our patio. The light is really bright, which I love for the night time as our last light barely illuminated the patio (we have a dimmable switch so I can adjust it to not be as bright when I want) and I like the elegance the cover of the light and trim adds without being too costly. I was initially worried the gold painted edges would look weird, but now that it is installed it isn't even noticeable. I also like that the blades are reversible so you can choose which color you like.
