Ceiling Fan Lights Just Keep Improving
Believe it or not, the electric-powered ceiling fan has been around since 1882 when Philip Diehl engineered
the electric motor that was used in the Singer sewing machine. Never satisfied with his invention, he soon improved
the ceiling fan by offering a light kit that could be installed on the ceiling fan.
Fading in and out of popularity since the 20th century, there continue to be minor changes in an effort to keep
the ceiling fan alive. Lights play a big part in notions by bringing back the overhead light that all but
disappeared in homes of the 1970s. People began to realize that this was quite a resourceful option to have. In
addition to the lights that hang down, covered by decorative globes, there are also uplights that can be installed
on top of the fan's motor housing, making a projection of light on the ceiling. This creative type of lighting is
really very pleasing, mystical and allows a surreal ambiance in the room.
The world's oldest and largest ceiling fan manufacturer, the Hunter Fan Company never stops inventing, improving
and providing the public with the best selection of fans and lights to date. What people may not realize is that
they also offer lighting products that are easily mountable on existing ceiling fans. An entire selection of
indoor/outdoor residential lighting products has attracted many homeowners to install lighting to their existing
Hunter Fans that also have the most extensive service and warranty program in the industry.
Recently, Hunter Fan teamed up with CLTC to design and develop a brand new ceiling fan system that integrates
LED technology and lighting controls to create the most cost-effective LED lighting kit on the market today.
Another exceptional company that rates high in artistic ceiling fans and lights is Minka Aire that uses mini can
120v halogen lights in their works of art. Instead of bulbs that hang down, their concept is to contain halogen
lights in a flat fixture on the bottom of the ceiling fan. There are other companies that offer the popular can
converter that is easy to install and makes a dramatic change in the fan's appearance.
Casablanca has a lighting fixture that fits easily on a ceiling fan and offers more of a stylish enclosed light
with surrounding colored glass, bringing a soft light that uses regular light bulbs but without the brightness and
glare given off by regular globes. Perfect for a family room or an enclosed porch, Casablanca's products can often
be used indoors or out. Many of their fixtures, as are Hunters, have the seal of Energy Star for superior rated
energy savings for the best in energy performance.
With the wide array of ceiling fans with lights available today, you will be surprised to see what improvements
in energy savings and style that has happened since 1882. Visit a few sites today and you will be amazed at the new
and exciting features.
