I got this or a very similar fan on the last deal.
Set up was typical, fan noise is typical maybe even a little less noise than what it replaced.
Airflow is good and the remote offers several options for speed and a reverse button.
The light is terrible in my opinion. It functions fine but feels very dim for the size. I did not check LED density when putting it up but I would imagine is isn't very dense given how little light this thing puts off.
I have a Fanimation fan with the same remote and that is my least favorite most chaotic unresponsive fan that turns on and off randomly to different modes all day long. My other Fanimation fans indoor and outdoor are the best, Covert model 64".
Ugh. I need a fan for my bedroom over my bed. That's too low
Use a Sawzall and cut the downrod to the length you want and drill two new holes for the pin. I did this on three of my bedroom fans and came out great.
Man tempted. Have 2 original to the house fans from 1996 that I think on their last legs. Light doesn't matter to me the ones now don't have lights anyways.
Replace those asap, I was in the same boat as u, I replaced all the original ones in my house, 3 upstairs, 1 in the kitchen, oh boy, they are quieter, and way more efficient, plus they move way more air. Just do it?!!,.,
Same here! Sometimes I'll wake up and the Fanimation light will be on, the fan on low, the fan on full blast, or anything in between. It has a mind of its own.
Have a fanimation with the same remote too. The remote is very frustrating and usually takes multiple button presses before responding but at least doesn't turn on/off on its own lol. Maybe you have some interference from a neighbor and need to reset the dip switches and reprogram it.

I thought it could be that, but have been too lazy to climb up the ladder to the vaulted ceiling. Haha.

If it's the same fan I have, there are no dip switches to change in the fan. They are only in the remote. The fan learns and syncs with what you set on the remote when you go through the update process.

Unless there's been some radical change in electrical motor technology, more efficient? Show me when - where - how.
Move more air? Moving more air means either higher speed, or, larger/longer blades. Either way costs MORE energy. There ain't no such thing as a free lunch
I got the 68 inch version delivered today. couldn't get to turn it on. Tried different dip switch combinations but the damn thing doesn't turn on. Any tips on getting it to work?

For my use case I would by this fan again.

Do I have to get the Westinghouse brand downrod or any brand as long as it's 3/4-inch ID (what does ID means?)?
