Ceiling Fans With Light are ubiquitous in almost every semi-rural, suburban and urban home. They do not take up precious floor space like pedestal fans, do not have to be small and light and thus, less effective like wall fans, and need not require some kind of table or stand to be kept in like table fans. Being out of reach, they do not have to have the ugly cage we see the rest of the fans in, covering the blades. Ceiling fans can be of various sizes, colors and decorations to make them functional in relation to the size and shape of the room as well as matching the decor of the room. Thus, they can add to the aesthetic of the house while keeping us cool in the hot season, and, in some cases, even warm in the colder months.
Earlier, ceiling fans had only one job – airing the room. But as times advanced, so did these machines. With multi-functionality being the trend of the day, ceiling fans too have evolved to include another necessity of homes – lights. Many ceiling fans are available these days that have lights integrated into the central portion for decorative, functional or mood lighting. These are obviously more costly than ordinary ceiling fans, but if we combine the cost of individual lighting and ceiling fans, these turn out to be more economical solutions. On top of that, they also add a certain sophistication and pizzazz to the room that you will never get with an ordinary ceiling fan.

Buying Guide – Ceiling fans with light modern
There is not much difference in the things you need to consider when buying a normal ceiling fan and a ceiling fan with lights, except the nature of the lights themselves. The guide below should make it clear:
Blade Size
This is one of the most important considerations that you must make, since it determines if the room will be well ventilated or not. There are fans with blade sizes ranging from 24 to 60 inches. A larger room volume demands a larger blade size. For rooms up to 100 sq feet, 24 to 42 inch blades are enough, while for rooms sized 100 to 150 sq feet, 44 to 50 inch blades work well. Rooms between 150 to 300 sq feet require 52 to 60 inch blades and rooms over 300 sq feet should either have fans with blades up to 74 inches, or two fans with 42 inch blades.Greater blade surface area produces greater airflow, but also causes a larger air resistance or drag, making more noise and requiring a stronger motor that consumes more electricity.
Blade Number
Fans can have any number of blades from even one to six and above. Some fans even have two tiers of blades. The number of blades affect airflow by the same theory as blade size. Greater the number of blades, greater is the gross airflow. However that does not mean net effective airflow is also high. More number of blades inevitably creates more turbulence, ie, the air flow pattern is choppy and ultimately does not create much wind. Greater number of fan blades does imply lesser noise as individual surface areas are reduced, but the cumulative size is still high, so the drag on the motor is high too. Four to five blades is considered the perfect balance between noise control and air flow.
Mount
The mount of the fan is determined greatly by the height of the ceiling. Low ceilings should be installed with flush mount fans, while high ceilings require a downrod, whose length is directly proportional to the ceiling height. Every one foot increase in ceiling height is compensated by 6 cm increase in downrod length, with a 9 foot high ceiling requiring a 6 cm downrod. Ceiling fans need to be installed with an angular mount in rooms with sloping roofs. These mounts allow an angle of 34-56°, so that the fan can hang vertical.
Efficiency
The efficiency of any electrical appliance is judged by its energy star rating. More the number of stars, greater the efficiency. Nowadays, BLDC or brushless DC motors are being used in fans which are far more efficient than the conventional brushed motors. When buying a ceiling fan with lights, always try to go for one where the fan as well as the lights are star rated.
Location
Ceiling fans have always been used in rooms, but it is slowly making its way to patios and porches too. Outdoor ceiling fans differ widely from indoor ones in that they have to be weather-resistant. Dry-rated fans are not suitable for use outdoors. The Damp-rated ones can withstand humidity and slight moisture, but if your area experiences a lot of rain or snow,go for a Wet-rated one. You can also look for an UL rating that is a good indication of the ability of the fan to withstand environmental elements.
Control
There are basically three types of controls in fans. The classic wall control unit with regulators and switch is still the most widely used in India. However, remote controlled fans are slowly and steadily coming up. You will also find that in some smart homes, fans are also controlled by Wi-Fi from smartphones. Fans with lights often come with pull cords to control the lights.
Finish
This is important in regards to the longevity of the fan. Brass finishes are popular. Aluminium bodied fans are long-lasting as they hardly see corrosion through the years. Nowadays, dust-free finishes are slowly taking over the market since they resist accumulation of dust and eliminate the need to clean the fans, which is especially difficult in rooms with high ceilings.
Reverse Rotation
This is a very useful feature in fans that make them usable in both summer and winter. It implies that the fan rotates in a certain direction in summer so as to push cold air in our direction. This direction can be reversed in winter so that the warm air can be circulated around the room.
Conclusion
Ceiling Fans With Light are an integral and indelible part of Indian households. But as times change, people try to upgrade. The old, bulky, noisy ceiling fans are no longer welcomed in modern houses. Thus, companies must also upgrade their products to keep up with the times. Necessity is the mother of all invention, and it is along this very line that these advanced ceiling fans have been made. The ones in this list are the best ones out their, with the most spectacular looks and even more impressive features that are sure to blow your mind. Make it a point to go through the buying guide so you know exactly what you need and can buy accordingly.
