Hampton Bay Mediterranean Ceiling Fan

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

The Hampton Bay Mediterranean Ceiling Fan balances looks with functionality and is a great choice for those looking to get the best out of their home appliances. The PowerPlus motor and triple capacitor are the standout features in the construction of the fan. The blade span is 52 inches, which means that you can install it in larger rooms such as master bedrooms, family rooms, media rooms and small garages.

Since the fan hangs around 18″ from the ceiling when it is mounted, it’s not an ideal choice for smaller places. If you have rooms that have a large height, then the Mediterranean model is the right choice and will work well. In case you have a bigger room and need the fan to hang lower, you can purchase a longer down rod. This will help the fan reach down beyond its 18″ height from the ceiling. Flush mounted fans wobble less and look very stable.

One of the most noticeable features of the fan is how quiet it is while operating. At the same time, it is able to drive the air at a fast pace as well. The fan weighs at 20 lbs., and leans on the heavier side. It needs proper mounting.

The Hampton Bay Mediterranean Ceiling Fan has a warm light kit, which can be used to add to the aesthetic that you’re trying to build on your room. Four standard bulbs rated a maximum of 60 watts are required to fully experience the light functionality of the product. The fan and light settings can be conveniently controlled by the remote control. There are three settings for the lights – you can have the top, bottom or both on at the same time.

This way, you don’t need to deal with any complicated wall switches. You can easily change the way the room looks and feels with the tap of a few buttons. Reversing the flow of the air is also convenient. All you have to do is reach for the switch at the top of the fan and press it.

Featuring a bowl-shaped container for the lights, it provides a rather antique and elegant look to the room. The wooden blades are also a big part of the look of the product, which complete the antique vibe that it brings.

If you’re looking to build a room aesthetic that has earth elements, or is a little older, you can’t go wrong with the Hampton Bay Mediterranean fan. What’s important, though, is that you are able to get the installation process right so that you don’t have to worry about dealing with any problems later on. Consulting an electrician early will help eliminate this issue altogether.

Why Should You Get a Hampton Bay Mediterranean Ceiling Fan?

The wide range of options gives you all the features you need at very affordable prices.

You can also find a number of Hampton Bay ceiling fans that can be used in various settings, which makes it more convenient for your home decor.

The second main reason behind choosing Hampton Bay is extended warranty periods for products. The fan motor often comes with a lifetime warranty that you can avail of from your favored retailer. If you find that the speed controller or any related items have stopped working, you can be assured that the product will be replaced since it comes with lifetime warranty.

There are some good choices if you’re looking for a Hampton Bay Mediterranean ceiling fan.

Hampton Bay Princeton Ceiling Fan

We have searched high and low for the Hampton Bay Princeton ceiling fan. Unfortunately we have not been able to locate anyone who sells the fan or be able to provide parts for it. Home Depot sold this fan; some of the reviews you find online date the fan around 1998 in terms of manufacture. Generally, fans that were sold as Hampton Bay during this time were manufactured by SMC. One way to tell the fan is made by SMC is to look at the blades as well. SMC generally opted for blade tips that are a little rounded. SMC used this style of fan blades.

The Princeton’s light kit featured 5 lights, that could be used with a three way pull chain. In this way you could control the lights in different patterns, whether you only wanted the middle light on, the outside lights on, etc. Because of this three way pull chain, a dimmer switch or dimming capability generally was not needed.

The Princeton Ceiling Fan – it can be an acquired taste. Not saying it’s ugly to look at – but it may not be for everyone.

This fan features a short downrod. The downrod had kind of a strange design, as a speculation it may had been something Home Depot requested at the time for SMC to manufacture to spec and likely the design changed after. This may be one of the reasons why it’s more difficult to find a Princeton fan today, because some of the manufacturing was unique and different for it’s time. For example, the 5 light kit with three way dimming and the unique globes for each light. Many of the Princeton fans had a brass light kit, as well which is heavier in construction.

Here is a Princeton ceiling fan, to see what they look like. The one pictures in this video has four blades and 4 lights as well, as opposed to the five light variant we spoke of above. it also has a red finish whereas some of the Princeton fans you find when searching, feature a white finish.

Sometimes site visitors look for certain parts for their Princeton ceiling fan. For example, we had a site visitor looking for fan/light unit model 391-022 or 778-848. The technical response answer to this is there should likely be two wires connected to the switch. There should be a matching two wires (or no more then two wires) that are connected. It’s a good idea to check this before buying a new switch.
