    Looks great, and with a brighter bulb installed that’s all the light you need. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxWF88GpljEn-0o34vtLFazEQ5h5Q33SjU As far as ease of installation- this was my first ceiling fan and it took about 3 hours because I had no idea what I was doing and also it’s helpful to have a second set of hands and a magnetic drill bit. Works great.

    *Great unit that’s easy to install and use. It’s relatively quiet compared to window units and **Fastly.Cool** , and it cools down our whole living room, side room and bathroom; which is a large space for any unit to cool.*

    This is the BEST video I have found to explain how to wire! I am reinstalling an old fan I had in my previous house. I lost my manual and do not even know the name brand of the fan.The other videos go so fast and do not explain what wires to connect where. Thank you so much!

    You did a nice job minus not twisting the wires together before screwing on the wire nuts. Always twist the wires together before applying the wire nuts.

    So, I have the directions that came with the fan BUT the unit I live in is 50 years old and there were a bunch of wires stuffed in the ceiling. After watching your video, I realized I had to dig, and I mean dig a black wire out. What you said about doing the 'hot' last made so much sense! All other videos I watched didn't mention it. Thanks for keeping it simple but smart! I just installed a ceiling fan (patting myself on my back)

    ehowathonechannel; I’m curious how the fan can actually be truly grounded since the frame with the ground coming out of it is actually insulated by the extension rod ball? It seems that an actual ground coming from the fan light housing itself would be a more solid path?
