Westinghouse 78108 30-Inch Petite Hugger Ceiling Fan, White

by Westinghouse

Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Year-round comfort is a breeze with Westinghouse's 30-inch close-to-ceiling, hugger Petite fan (78108), which features a classic white finish, six reversible white/white washed pine blades, and includes a one light fixture with opal mushroom glass. The fan's 30-inch diameter makes it an ideal match for low ceilings and small size rooms up to 8' x 10' such as bedrooms, kitchens, walk-in closets, and laundry rooms where air circulation and ventilation is needed. Designed to provide whisper-quiet, high performance, Westinghouse fans are manufactured with quality parts to minimize maintenance. The fan has everything needed for installation including a pull chain and hardware in matching finishes, and a 12-inch lead wire to connect the fan to the outlet box. The fan's light fixture uses one candelabra base, globe style (G 16 1/2) light bulb, 60 watt maximum (not included). Use this fan all year to moderate your home's temperature and maximize energy savings. Westinghouse ceiling fans include a three speed, reversible switch that allows the fans to be used year round. In the summer, stay cool by running your fan counterclockwise. In the winter, run it clockwise to re-circulate warm air from the ceiling, eliminating cold spots and drafts. Fans without light fixtures cost about as much to operate as one standard household light bulb. Using the fan throughout the year helps reduce heating and cooling expenses. Don't Forget: If you are installing the ceiling fan, verify that your outlet box will support a ceiling fan. Check Amazon.com for additional Westinghouse products including fans and accessories, lighting fixtures, light bulbs and hardware. People worldwide trust Westinghouse for quality ceiling fans and light sources. After all, you can be sure…if it's Westinghouse.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tiny fan, moves a lot of air, September 27, 2010

This fan works great! I installed it last night. It spins very quickly on its highest setting, and it moves a lot of air for its size. The bulb socket is a miniature Edison base rated at 65W, so it may be a bit dim for larger rooms.

I hooked this fan up to a fan/light control switch on the wall, so I wanted to remove the pullchains. To do so, perform the following BEFORE MOUNTING THE FAN and AT YOUR OWN RISK:
* Remove the three screws that hold the light socket over the housing, and pull open the cover.
* There are a bunch of wires and wire nuts that attach the fan speed pullchain, fan direction switch, and light pullchain together.
* Unscrew the fan speed pullchain switch and the light pullchain switch. Yank all the wires out of both switches.
* The black and blue wires go straight through the fan to the other side - they're coming directly from the source.
* To bypass the light pullchain, connect the blue wire to the black wire of the light socket.
* To bypass the fan pullchain, you'll need to fix the fan at the highest speed. Connect the purple (speed 1), yellow (speed 2), and orange (power) wires to the black wire (the source wire, not the light socket wire).
* Keep the red wire connected (that's the speed signal).
* Make sure to use wirenuts on all exposed connections!
* To tidy up the modification, I'd suggest yanking the pullchains out of the pullchain switches (tug hard!), then re-inserting the switches in the housing just to provide a clean (albeit pullchain-less) look to the outside.
* Re-attach the housing cover, making sure the indentation in the cover fits over the fan direction switch.
* When mounting, remember that the blue wire is for the light and the black wire is for the fan.

Notes from installation:
* When installing, do not attach the fan blades until AFTER you mount the motor to the ceiling. The canopy will not fit over the top - it must be installed from below, after you've finished your wiring.
* The fan provides separate light/fan power wires. If you're using the pullchains, connect BOTH blue (light) and black (fan) wires to the HOT supply.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Size - Noisy, December 25, 2010

If you are purchasing this just based on the size and appearance, the fan is great. I think the thing is noisy and has a constant low level hum. I have 4 other Hunter fans in my home and all are extremely quiet - Unfortunately, this was the only one I could find in this small size so I was limited to Westinghouse. It went into my daughter's room and she says that I am the only one to notice the hum so I guess it's OK for 50 bucks.

I am surprised by the noisy comment. I installed this fan in my daughters bedroom and I hardly notice it's on. It has worked out quite well and the instructions were great.
