Ceiling Fan Lighting KitsWhen you are buying a new ceiling fan, please remember that it is basically a semi-permanent feature. If you have a room that is not well lit, then purchasing a ceiling fan complete with built-in lighting is the ideal option. However, if you have already purchased a ceiling fan without a light you can still add one with a lighting kit. You can find ceiling fan lighting kits from most home improvement and DIY centers, such as the Home Depot in the USA and B&Q in the UK. You will find a wide choice of lighting kits available, so getting one to suit your existing ceiling fan should not be much of a problem. When you are looking for a lighting kit take note of the materials used in your ceiling fan - a bamboo ceiling fan will look best with a matching bamboo lighting kit just as a Tiffany ceiling fan looks best with a matching Tiffany-style lighting kit. When you are selecting your lighting kit you should also ask about guarantees and servicing. Check with the manufacturer about the installation and whether it is definitely compatible with your fan or not. Ask them if you are able to get a full refund upon installing the lighting kit and realising that you don't actually like it. InstallationThe installation of a lighting kit needs a degree of electrical knowledge, so if you are uncomfortable with wiring, connections and switches then you should stay clear of this particular piece of DIY. However, if you are confident that you can install the ceiling fan lighting kit yourself then by all means do so but take care. If you do not wish to install the lighting kit yourself you will be able to find a range of technicians nearby who can help. StylesThere are a wide variety of lighting kit styles available, so you'll have plenty of choice when looking. Our advice?
