Let’s say you want to buy a ceiling fan with a light kit. Sounds easy enough, but you would be wrong. We want to replace a fan and we want one with at least four lights - not the little bitty lights - and we want a good one. So far we have made a trip to both the big box builder stores. I have gone on line for a few hours to locate the one that will match the decor. What ever decor is.
I did find one and checked out all the specs and decided this is the one. All I had to do is order it and have it shipped. On that particular model, it is out of stock and there is no hope for another offering in my lifetime.
Okay, I’m old and I do remember seeing ceiling fans that had a belt, like a fan belt on a car, that ran them. The motor was in a remote location and the fan or fans were driven by belts. And, I realize that they have evolved into modern marvels. But, it has been less than 15 years since I bought a whole house full of fans when we built our last house. They don’t make those or anything that resembles them anymore. If I ever find a fan that meets the specs, the next step is to find someone to install it.
I bet they don’t make those people anymore either.
