Westinghouse Lighting 7877500 Arcadia Two-Light 46-Inch Reversible Three-Blade Indoor Ceiling Fan, Brushed Nickel with Frosted White Alabaster Glass



Westinghouse 3 blade fan with light (two 40w candelabra)
Received this yesterday and replaced a fan that came with the house.
Fan is a lot lighter than my previous one and better looking.
Three blades (maple and dark beechwood) two candelabra bulbs (40W each)
Install was a pain, getting the remote receiver in above the ceiling bracket
Once that was on, rest of the install was pretty easy.
Nice wireless remote, 3 speed and light bulb, runs on one 9V battery.
Fan is nice and quiet. Light is dimmable.
Not as bright as I would have liked, looking at adding a GU16.5 adapter and get some dimmable CFL's - BPESL23T/DIM
Highly recommend.

9/26/12 Update
- I found some brighter 12W CFL's with Bulbrite CF12SM/WW/E12 12Watt Compact Fluorescent Coil Candelabra Base which is near 60W each ASIN: B0030AYIKK, Item model number: CF12SM/WW/E12. They do dim a little, no buzzing sound, but are perfect for reading amongst eating. The bulbs fit perfectly, they do not stick out. I now rate this fan 5 stars...

VERY pleased!!
There was only one other review when I bought this, but I was looking for something modern, smaller diameter, light wood WITH a remote, and came upon this one. It is beautiful, and very quiet. The remote is great, with three speeds, and a light switch that dims. If you leave the light dimmed and then shut if off, it remembers the setting the next time you turn it on. As another reviewer mentioned, it is not extremely bright on the highest setting, but that's ok with us.. We did replace swap out the included bulbs for halogen bulbs, and that adds a bit of brightness. Highly recommended!!

great little fan
not too big, not too small. we put two up in our 20 x 12 kitchen/dining room and they look and operate wonderfully. lights do not brighten the area well, but we have other lighting so it's no big deal. run quiet; would greatly complement stainless appliances. have worked well circulating house heat from fireplace/gravity furnace. you need the remote to operate fan, so don't lose them! not too complicated to install. directions pretty straight forward. you don't have to hold up the fan to do the wiring. took a couple hours each. would buy others.
