I am replacing a large light fixture, and most fan lights arent bright enough. What fan or fan light kit do I buy?
Get a small good quality fan WITHOUT A LIGHT and buy the light kit separate. Get one of the light kits that accepts five bulbs, four on the sides and one in the center (the pull chain on the light should be able to select all five lights, just the outer four, or just the center light). In each of the sockets put some 15-20 watt Compact Fluorescent bulbs. Incandescent bulbs may be tempting as they are cheaper, however you will not be nearly as pleased with the light, and Compact Fluorescent bulbs pay for themselves VERY quickly. I also suggest putting a small, 50 watt halogen floodlight in the center socket. This is to add a direct downlight as well as a warmer tone.
