Can you use LED lights in this fan? What is the recommended room size for this size fan?

my fan came with the lights. I haven't needed to change any yet. i would look at the instruction paper to see what the manufacture requires for the lights. good luck.

The light bulbs that are included are led bulbs. Beware these lights are VERY bright but spot specific meaning they don't lighten the room very well, they just illuminate where you point them. I used it in my master bedroom which is 20x20 and I feel it is appropriately sized. I hope this helps you

My kitchen is 12X16 and the fan is gorgeous and provides plenty of air for the kitchen. I turn it off while cooking as it can get in the way of the flames production. The lights provided are task lights, that shine directly on the counter or wherever you direct them. This was not what I wanted for the ambient look I was seeking. #1 I put a rectangle shade lamp on the counter nearest a wall. #2 I also added 4 bucket ceiling lights for a total work space. I now have three choices of lighting. Good Luck with your project.

I just use the remote even though the room is wired for separate light and fan. The fan itself should be able to handle wall switches, but you may need an electrician if you're not confident wiring yourself. We really like the fan. It runs perfect and is quite, the light is ample. We do have other lights in the room however.

After running to the store to buy LED ceiling fan lights ($25.00), my electrician said only a small candelabra bulb could be used. With two bulbs, the fan gives off plenty of light for the center of my livingroom.

The fan is in a room with 9' ceilings and are very bright in that room. I think it would depend on a how high the vault is as that will affect amount of light in the room. There is a maximum of 60 watt bulbs on the fixture.

All these fans can be connected like that. Choose your fan for air flow, then light and night light. I use a 3 rocker switch.

Yes, that is what I did and it works fine. I have the light on a dimmer switch and the fan is on a separate switch. If I want to change the fan speed I can use the switch on the fan, but so far have not needed it. I love this fan, really moves the air in my sewing room.

I believe the light kit is required. Looked at the instructions and don't see an alternative set up for the fan only.

Sorry, I'm just starting to check this email more often. You've probably found out by now. But I'll respond anyway. It includes 2 fans. It doesn't come with an LED light, I got one myself.

I did not buy the fan with the LED. It was 3 speed so it may have the same connections. Mine had a 3 pin connector. I understand a 3 pin fan will plug into a 4 pin connector. The 4th pin is not used. I had to use the Y cable that came with the fan to connect it to a molex connector from the power supply to get it to work. It did move a lot of air on medium speed and did not make much noise. Worked great for me. Would buy again. Hope that helps.

I don't see how a light fits on this fan. If you want one with a light, I think you need a different fan.

Yes you can use led light bulbs with this provided they are standard light bulb sockets. I use led as well.

Yes it can. But, you may want to select another fan if your ceiling is low or the standard 8'. It is a beautiful fan and it takes a mini-halogen bulb. I also bought the Landan which uses LED bulbs if you are energy conscious. I have an open beam ceiling and using a down rod on mine.

The unit that I have does not come with an LED fan. However the fan is of proprietary design that mates with the box portion via a contact surface. I'm sure you could disable the LED if you poked around a bit but I would say "NO" to your question "Can it be replaced?".

Hi SH, I just installed the fan this weekend. I ended up replacing my original dimmer switch with a Lutron Fan/Light dimmer combined switch. It is a little pricey but works wonderful and gives much more control over the fan and lighting then the remote. I highly recommend it. Although the switch does not mention compatibility with LEDs, it does in fact work flawlessly with the LED in the fan. Lutron MA-LFQHW-WH Maestro Fan Control and Dimmer Kit, White

Probably depends on the size of the room you are putting it in. We have the fan installed in our master bedroom (approx. 14'x15') and at its brightest, it is too bright for the room. We usually have it turned down a bit. Don't know the max lumens number. We are very happy with this fan, it is very quiet and the variable speeds and light settings are great. Hope this helps!

I believe you will need to purchase a light kit separately. Which should be available and mountable after removing the disk on the bottom center of the fan.

I'm not sure what you are after--- a track light ON the fan? or separate on the ceiling. If the latter, probably, if you want to deal with the complexity of the wires (Minka supplies plenty of spare wire you cut to size). But if on the fan itself, I'm not sure I see the purpose: it's an expensive fan and well designed, so why bother to monkey around if you are getting something of such quality that has a light designed for it?
