Ceiling fan light fixtures are an incredibly useful way of adding more light to any area in your home without having to take up more space. Because ceiling fan light fixtures attach to a ceiling fan, they are a great option for anyone who already owns a ceiling fan or for anyone who is looking to purchase a ceiling fan and could use some extra light in a room. In recent years, ceiling fan light fixtures have become increasingly popular in other areas of the home, such as enclosed patios, master bathrooms and even can be used in saunas. Ceiling fan light fixtures differ from other ceiling fan lights in that they usually contain the light bulbs, creating an elegant and luxurious look without showing exposed light bulbs.
There are many different shapes and styles available when it comes to ceiling fan light fixtures. Some of the most common options are dome, or bowl, shaped and contain the light bulbs in the structure while being transparent enough to allow ample amounts of light to shine through. Usually this style of the ceiling fan light fixture is comprised of some sort of glass, commonly opal or alabaster. The main disparities of ceiling fan light fixtures come in the shape and finish of the fixture, rather than the compositional makeup. Some of the most popular types of ceiling fan light fixtures have finishes such as different metals like bronze or silver, custom etchings, stained glass, or even a “frosted” look that makes the light fixture more opaque, thus hiding the light bulbs from the visible eye.
When it comes to pricing of new ceiling fan light fixtures, you do not have to pay an arm and a leg to get a high quality and luxurious option. If you are just looking for a simple type of ceiling fan light fixture, you can expect to pay less than $50. A good option that is currently on the market is the P2544-39 Schoolhouse Universal Indoor Fan Light Kit by Progress Lighting, which is selling for about $27. This model or a similarly priced model can be purchased at most lighting stores.
Fortunately, for a more luxurious ceiling fan light fixture, the price differential is not as bad as you might expect. For high end ceiling fan light fixtures, you can expect to pay anywhere from $80 to $200. A good example of an elegant higher end light fixture is the Emerson LK32 Ceiling Fan Light Kit, which has a classy stained glass look and is currently selling for about $165.
There are many brands to choose from when finding the right ceiling fan light fixtures for your home, but it is always a good idea when dealing with home furnishings to go with a trusted brand. Companies like Thomas Lighting, Ellington, Emerson, Monte Carlo and Progress Lighting make some of the best ceiling fan light fixture options out there. Whichever brand you decide to go with, be sure to do a price comparison of different stores to make sure you are getting a good deal on your product.
