The fixture is close enough to ceiling to e functional in a room with an 8' ceiling. The light is conveniently dimmable and the remote feature works extremely well for fan speed, dimming and on / off funtioning. It has a minimalist look AND is attracctive and funtional.

I would recommend this fan / light comb to my clients.

We were very happy to finally find a nice looking fan with a bright light that didn't hang too low. But we were very diappointed after installation to notice the effect the fan blades had on the light in the room. Because the light is above the blades, when the fan is on, it causes the light in the room to flicker. The blinking isn't terrible, but not what we wanted for our living room. So sadly we are back to looking for another fan with a bright light.

the blades below the light creates a flickering effect in the room. Not exactly the way we wanted the room to be when the fan is on.

The light/fan was straightforward to assemble but the remote didn't work. The manufacturer replaced it at no charge very quickly. The inner transformer then had to be reset also. But that was quick and the 2nd remote works great.

It has a sleek, contemporary look, it is great for my space (a little shorter fan length than many standard ceiling fans) and I love it that it is energy efficient.

This lamp is just what we were looking for--simple, elegant and effective.

I am really pleased with this fan and light. It looks really great and contemporary. My contractor had no problem putting it up. Y lighting and Modern Fan constumer service were also very helpful and knowledgable. Thumbs up to them.

I would for sure recommed this. I now have 5 modern fans in my home.

Modern Fan, makes by far the best fans, they really move air, are sleek and this one in particular really hugs the ceiling, quite amazing as it has an integral light fixture. My only complaint is that it only comes with fluorescent lamping, I know I know, because of their energy efficiency I guess we will all need to get used to their light quality sooner or later, yet as the first important fixture in my house to use fluorescent, I can't help but mourn the end of warm incandescent & halogen sources.

I would actually give it a rating of 4.5. We are very happy with the fan. We have purchased two in the last year. We like that it has an Energy Star rating and a modern look. Installation was a little challenging, but my husband did it by himself. The wiring, even with the remote, was straightforward--it's just heavy. We will likely purchase one more Modern Fan in the next year.

Items purchased arrived promptly. All items totally functional. I've purchased items modern fans previously from Ylighting.

Installation was relatively easy although it would have been easier with a third hand.

Light output is very good, better than expected. A dimmable ballast would make it much nicer.

This is a very attractive contemporary look. The remote is simple and effective.

The hugger is very compact and unobtrusive. The remote is simple and effective.

I definitely recommend this product, in fact, I'm buying another one.

I am very disappointed that the light kit is cheap white plastic, and because it is designed for just this fan it is impossible to find a replacement. The rest of the fan is very well made, so I was surprised when I opened the box. At the price of this fan it should not be plastic.

theres not much choice of this type of product on the market, this ceiling fan works perfect for low ceilings. it is very contemporay, very unique and also very efficent. the design is great, certainly makes an impact in any space.

We have been looking for contemporary fan. It was impossible to find something we like in stores. Finaly we got what we need. Just finished remodeling in our family room. This ceiling fan is very well made. It goes well with our new fireplace which is dark grey tile and black contemporary insert.

Very pleased with the new fan.
