Westinghouse Lighting Ripley 7201800 52-Inch Reversible Five-Blade Indoor Ceiling Fan, Brownstone with Amber Mist Review

This 22 pound light looks well made and built to last. You can easily assemble it when it arrives. This is ambient light; delicate amber color. For those of us who prefer side lights over bright overhead lights, this would be a good choice. The look is sleek and stylish (like a ceiling fan) and you can choose between light wood or dark brown blades. If you're replacing an existing fan, this is an easy DIY solution. Overall it took my husband about an hour to install it in our living room. But…

Now if only I could afford a couple of leather armchairs. Took me just under an hour to install but my ceiling is a bit high so it's probably more than average. You can hook it up to a dual switch so one switch controls the fan and the other the light, or you can simply fit it in place of your existing ceiling…

Installation was easy. I connected it to separate switches to control the light and fan. Maybe in the future I'll switch the lights to LED, but for now I'm using incandescent bulbs. Advantages: - Reversible fan switch. In warm weather, run the fan counterclockwise to avoid overheating.
