5.0 out of 5 stars The photo does this stunning fan no justice, November 5, 2009

This is a georgous fan, and the photo here does it no justice. If you check around, others that look like this model cost well over $100 more, and often double... we did our research looking at many through numerous websites. If I can post my photo from our home, I will.

I don't know why someone complained about the remote, in our kitchen it works from anywhere in the room. The unit uses the remote to operate the fan and the light... the wall switch will turn both off. A holder for the remote is made to mount over it's wall switch plate.

The fan comes with a halogen light bulb that seems ridiculously low in wattage but the light switch is actually a dimmer control and it can be brightened up to 100W. It took me a couple of days to figure this out.

4.0 out of 5 stars looks great, but remote is terrible; no blue wire for light--YMMV, September 4, 2009

This review is from: Casablanca TRIH-68 Trident Ceiling Fan, Graphite Motor (Tools & Home Improvement)

Visually, this fan is stunning. For only having three blades it can move a lot of air. However I returned it due to several shortcomings.

The remote was terrible. It did not reliably function beyond 6'. I ended up having to walk around the room w/the remote trying to get the fan to turn off.

Also, my original goal was to control the fan remotely via wall mounted switches. (Leave the room, turn off the switch--not dance w/a remote.) However, this fan only has a single wire (black) for power that controls both the fan and the light; there is no way to control the two elements individually except via the remote (see above). Other manufacturers provide two leads (black, blue), and place the receiving remote b/t the fan leads and the power from the switches. Casablanca elected to integrate this feature in the fan itself.

I think the fan was simply a poor selection for the situation in which I intended to use it. Amazon was very gracious about giving me a refund. I would purchase another Casablanca fan, maybe not from the line of fans in the ~$200 price point; they seem to be electronically "crippled", making them incompatible w/any third party controls.

For me ceiling fans just have to be casablanca - I recently put 5 into our new home ... but this 3 blade set new standards for good lookin' for me - it really is an attractive piece. We have it in our family room which has a high cathederal ceiling. The decor is contemporary into which this fan blends perfectly. I personally really like the Casablanca remote operation. The dimable light works well although we seldom use it due to the other lighting in the room. The fan works very well with good options of speed and of course rotation to allow whatever air circulation you are looking for. The finish is superb - I am delighted with this product.
