Absolutely love the look of the fan. The light is very bright and dimmable. Everything is controlled through the remote. The temperature of the light can also be changed from warm, daylight, and bright white. The fan moves a lot of air even on a slower setting. We used the longest down rod, which is included. I had our electrician install it. The only issue with it is it wobbles with the longer rod. My guess is it will more stable if one of the shorter rods was used. We have high ceilings, so we had to use the longest of the 3 included.
