Ceiling Fan Light Globes
Light Up Your Home with A Dual-Purpose Ceiling Fan
Ceiling fan light globes add extra usefulness and aesthetic feature to any ceiling fan. Ceiling fans with light fixtures are quite popular because they eliminate the need to set up two electrical units on your ceiling, saving you lots of time and effort during installation, and also clean up ceiling clutter. These multi-purpose appliances also use energy more efficiently than setting up a cooling and lighting appliance separately. The built in lighting makes your ceiling fan more useful and more convenient than ever.
Ceiling fan lights come in different types, such as globes, bowls, and hanging lights. Light globes are more commonly seen in today’s more contemporary ceiling fan models. Most consumers also find them more agreeable because of their bright illumination and their classic yet refined look.
You have a wide range of options to choose from when it comes to ceiling fans with lights. Here are some options you may want to consider.
#1 Hunter 22461 Astoria Ceiling Fan with Frosted Globe
Consumers who want a contemporary looking fan perfect for minimalist homes, the Astoria model 22461 from Hunter is one of their best bets. The white model is especially popular for its basic, clean-looking all-white look from the base, blades, down to the light globe. The light uses two incandescent 60-watt light bulbs for optimum illumination with a total electrical requirement of 120 watts; bulbs are already included in the package when you buy. The frosted look of the light globe also adds a refined touch.
The white model sells for around $180 for a 5-blade 52-inch package, but pricing may vary for the other available colors namely bronze and brushed nickel. But with the white model, you do have the option to reverse the blades to light oak.
The Astoria’s look, light fixture, and its features make a winning combination. Being a Hunte fan, it has some of the industry’s best features, such as:
Wobble Free canopy
Installer’s Choice 3-position mounting
WhisperWind motor
Reversible blade rotation
#2 Hunter 20430 Beacon Hill Ceiling Fan with Clear Globes
If you prefer a traditional look over the contemporary fans you see today but still want the ceiling fan light globes to be present, do check out the 20430 Beacon Hill model from Hunter. This is a very classic-looking antique brass ceiling fan with five 42-inch reversible blades with rosewood and medium oak – the most popular blade finish combination particularly due to its reminiscent, slightly rustic look and feel. This particular model is quite popular for rooms with a Victorian old-world theme.
For other decorative preferences, though, you can also go for other base and blade finish combinations namely white with white/light oak blades and brushed nickel with maple/cherry blades.
The Beacon Hill comes with a removable light kit, which means you can install the fan without the lights if you want. The light kit features three clear hanging globes, each one powered by 60-watt candelabra bulbs for a total of 180 watts.
Like the rest of Hunter’s fans, the Astoria comes with Hunter’s lifetime warranty, for a minimal investment of just $135.
#3 Westinghouse78248 Turbo Swirl with Frosted Globe
If you want a back to basics feel for your wood-themed home, you will fall in love at first sight with the Westinghoue 78248 Turbo Swirl, an antique brass fan with walnut wood-patterned blades and an elegant frosted globe.
A 4-star product, the Westinghouse Turbo Swirl is unique and innovative to look at. And its shorter 30-inch blades make this petite model perfect for smaller rooms, without sacrificing air movement thanks to its total of six blades instead of the usual three or five.
The light fixture is a single frosted glass globe with a candelabra base and lit by a 60-watt light bulb. Unfortunately, the light bulb isn’t included in the standard package yet, which sells for an affordable price of only $140.
Other unique features of this Westinghouse offer include:
153mm x 9mm cold-rolled steel motor
18-degree blade pitch
¾ x 4 inch downrod
78-inch lead wire
Option to use with remote control (Westinghouse ceiling fan remote controls available separately)
What to Consider When Shopping for Ceiling Fan with Built-In Lights
If you want to make the best decision in buying a ceiling fan with a built-in light fixture, don’t forget to make some important considerations.
In a ceiling fan with lighting, one of the main benefits is the combined energy use, which still saves money compared to using separate appliances. But to maximize this particular benefit, look for a fan that’s Energy Star rated and one that can be fitted with an energy efficient light bulb.
You can also look for models that come with remote control. This way, you can switch the fan and the light on or off without any hassle. Some of the high-end models also come with an innovative light dimming feature, which can help save energy too by letting you turn down the intensity of the lighting from time to time.
If you want a two-in-one ceiling fixture, you can choose either to buy a ceiling fan with a fixed light add-on or a ceiling fan which allows you to remove the light fixture as you wish. Some models may not allow you to remove the light kit, but will let you put a cover over it to hide it.
All these will add up to the overall experience you will have with your ceiling fan.
