Motor Housings & Finishes:

Ceiling fan body housings are either die cast or stamped steel. A die cast housing adds to the stability of the fan and is especially important when the fan uses a downrod longer than 6" to accommodate a taller ceiling. The additional weight of the housing helps to stabilize the fan. The die cast housing also helps deaden motor noise and adds to the lifetime of a fan. Stamped steel housings, while less expensive, are more likely to wobble and make noise.

Controls:

While this may be the last thing you think of when purchasing a ceiling fan, the correct controls make the operation of your ceiling fan much more convenient. The controls allow you to change the fan speed and light intensity of your fan. Controls are classified as basic pull chain, hand held remote control or wall control. If your ceiling fan is going in your bedroom, a hand held remote control helps you make the adjustments during the evening without getting up. In other rooms, either a wall or remote control will keep you from having to reach for the fan every time you need to make an adjustment. This will become especially important if your fan is centered over a table or other furniture. YOUR LOCAL LAMPS PLUS CARRIES A FULL LINE OF QUALITY HAND HELD REMOTE CONTROLS AND WALL CONTROLS.
