Let There Be Light From Your Ceiling Fan
I am not sure too many people buy ceiling fans without lights built into them anymore. But if you have, don’t fret, installing a light package is a snap.
First thing to know is that all fans are not created equal. Though there is a basic universal build to them, some companies still make theirs different (forcing you to buy any attachments from them). So first thing is to see if you can fit the ceiling fan with light kits. You will be looking for the size of the hub and if the fan has already come wired.
Most fans, when you take the cap off, will have a bundle of wires that are all capped off. These are for the easy addition of a light source. So basically all you need is a screwdriver and basic reading comprehension skills. Of which it will say to make sure you have killed the power to that part of the house. Don’t need to turn this simple project into a hospital trip.
A ceiling fan with light issues will cause a big headache. As a very young adult I didn’t look at my fan at all, I just went to the store and bought a kit. Got home, kit didn’t fit. To stubborn to take it back, I ended up taking a hack saw to the thing to make it fit. Don’t be like me!
Better yet, when you buy the fan, even if you think you will never want a light on it, make sure it is a universal fit. The sales associate should be able to tell you that information with ease.
A ceiling fan with light fixtures is really the way to go. If you think it is too bright you don’t have to turn it on, but you will have it all the same, should you be in need of it one day.
