Review on Westinghouse Lighting 0110000 Saf-T-Brace for Ceiling Fans with Twist and Lock Mechanism - 3 Teeth, Silver (Pack of 1) by Megan Hartman

My wife has been asking for ceiling fans for five years. I kept putting it off because I knew the existing recessed "glow cans" weren't going to be easily converted into ceiling fans. I couldn't think of an easy way to hang a 30lb fan in a pedestal between two joists. My wife kept asking, so I kept looking for a way. Then I came across this product. It was easy to install through the 6 inch hole left by the recessed light. I tested this by hanging almost all of my weight. This thing held up during my testing. A 30 pound ceiling fan will not be a problem with this product. The rest of the fan installation went smoothly. The woman is happy (at least for now). She finally has ceiling fans on her porch.
