Pro tip: Modern American fans are required to have a voltage limiter chip to dial down the lights. They fail. Lots. If your fan lights don't work, buzz, hum, whatever, take it down and cut the little fucker out, wire back together with wire nuts.

I've replaced two crappy fans with really nice units I found in the trash. 100 how-to's on YT.

This feels...wrong.

Human Moment™. One of my former professors in Uni, the one I respected the most because she was one of the wisest and most perceptive people I'd met at that point, confided in us that it took her however many years since their introduction to realise that the small light on some wall-mounted light switches was meant as a guidance light if it's pitch black.

I have one of those fans. It only has a remote, no pull chains. I fucking hate that thing as much as I have ever hated anything in my life. It's so shitty. You would think having buttons would make it easier to use than a pull chain but they somehow made it even worse. Both the light and fan use the same Up and Down arrows to change the setting but there's a delay of a second or two between hitting the button and the fan actually changing (if it changes at all). There's also no indicator of which setting you're on currently (which is the only annoying part about pull chains). Also couldn't get it to switch directions for winter even after spending probably an hour on their site and Youtube looking at documentation and trying shit.

Why not just get a floor lamp?
