I really like this fixture! We used it to replace an old ceiling fan that was in between our kitchen and dining room and it totally took the space from out dated to modern. While the fan in this fixture is small, it is powerful. It has 6 different settings and I have yet to move it off the lowest one. This fixture is close in proximity to our gas stove, but the fan does not impact the burners at all. I used 2w, warm white, Edison bulbs and the lighting is perfect!
