I updated our living room with this fan because I didn't want a fan that had exposed lightbulbs and I wanted a lighter wood color on the fan blades. This fan is great. It's a little more modern looking than I anticipated once I got it up but the colors are very good. Installation was pretty easy. It took me about 20 minutes and that was with two toddlers running off with tools every few minutes. The bulbs that come with it are 3000K and are pretty bright. My only wish is that I would have wanted to mount the fan closer to the ceiling (even though it would make the fan not as strong) so it would have been nice to have the downrod either be adjustable or removable.
