Would this fan (with the light) be ok in a room with an 8' ceiling?

I mounted the Hunter 28724 in a room with a 7' 6" ceiling and the clearance is good. I utilized the 3" downrod (as opposed to the flush mount configuration). I am 6' 2" and the height is NOT a problem.

Yes, I just installed in a room with 8 FT ceilings and it looks beautiful. If anyone is over 6FT tall it may be an issue.

I think so if you ceiling mount it (I don't remember if this is an option). I really like this fan/light combo, very attractive for a $100 fan.

For 8' ceiling, I would get a flush mount ceiling fan with smallest height and no light kit.

If you close mount it, maybe.I mounted with the extention provided and its 20 " inches off ceiling and 28 inches to bottom of pull chains. I would not recommend it for an 8 foot ceiling in any which way-

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.

As long as it is not closing off the vents on the light and it is open above the light you should be fine. The noise can be an issue. One of my three lights had developed a very loud fan noise while the other two have remained very quiet. I think the fan has become unbalanced but I have no idea how to fix it. After about 10 minuets mine gets quieter but not as quiet as the other lights.

No, you shouldn't have any trouble. We control three at a time on our track lights with no problem, and they're spaced much farther apart than they would be in a ceiling fan. Keep in mind that you will likely need another light source for when you need brighter light in the room.

I have two 600 watt "APOLLO" lights for a 10' X 12' room and this 400cfm fan does the job! For your 8' x 12' x 7' room, this will be more then adequate. Keep a thermometer in your room to keep track of your temperature. With your 4-T5 lights the room might even be too cool...

I have mine installed about 10" from the ceiling and it looks great! I am sure 8" would work just as well.

If the ceiling is low it may help some. I found the fan kinda weak, I think due to the foam fan blades, and only used it once. Personally I would not recommend this fan.

The room (kitchen) where I have the fan is a 12' slanted ceiling. We used the rod. The light/fan looks like it could hang 6 to 8" from the ceiling and have the fan effective. I am "most" happy with the Fanaway! Have had it for almost a year now--Get it....You will love it!

The light on this fan is good. I found it to be better than the fan that was in that room. I don't consider it great. The room it is in is 12x12 with light colors. If it is going in a bigger or darker room it may not be bright enough. Overall I would give this light on this fan a rating of about 7 or 8 out of 10.

I would say so. We have two of these fans- one in our living room and one in our bedroom. We do have laps on end tables/bedside tables in both rooms, but never have the fan's light and the lamps on at the same time.

Absolutely. However, it's heavy. Make sure there enough support for it. The lighting is very cold, I would prefure a warmer light. I use my reset lighting more, but the fan is amazing

I wouldn't recommend this fan except for very tall ceilings. It could be dangerous.

Yes. We use these bulbs in our ceiling fan in the living room. They do a great job of lighting up the room. No need for another light to be on.

Absolutely. The fan hangs from the ceiling support. This is not a flush mount fan.

Yes. I was worried wouldn't be bright enough for living room. Replaced 4 40watt in ceiling fan. It is actually brighter.

Jeffrey, with the ceiling mount the fan would hang down about 15 inches to the bottom of the light fixture plus the added hanging chains. You would only have 6'4". If it was to hang over a dining table it would work, but anywhere else your taller friends and family might get a cheap haircut. Or at least bump their heads. You might want to consider a wall mount fan. I saw one at a lighting store that looked antique and was a antique copper color. Hope this helps

No, the fan would be at an angle and would not operate properly. This fan does not have a rod that extends down. It mounts flush to the ceiling.
