Over yesterday and today, I installed a new ceiling fan and switch in the layout room. When the light fixture went out a while back, I figured it could be the switch as I have already replaced one in the house. I didn't like the old fan anyway so I purchased a replacement. The old unit was loud and out of balance. Replaced the fan. Found the light still not working. I looked over to the light switch which is now residing right under the Peoria extension. I was like crap. It wasn't bad to replace the switch though. I was done with the job within a few minutes.
So now, we have a new 52" fan to replicate an EF-3 tornado. The light kits that come with these are so lacking. I will still use the old torch lamp with the 300 watt bulb. This can recreate noon time on the equator!
The new fan is super quiet and generates good air flow!
Fan looks good! The crews are not going to want to leave if you keep up the remodeling!
ReplyDeleteAlso I think you need to look back into some layout lighting like the LED strip?
Make some kind of a light weight Fascia to mount the strips in?
I will eventually. For now, the torch lamp has been working well in the train room.
DeleteOne of my two fans is noisily too, needs replacing too in my layout room. Have you considered track lighting here a link to my friend Rich layout you can see his track lighting http://s1106.photobucket.com/user/rwclcook/media/DSC03697_zpsz1acwybv.jpg.html?o=0
ReplyDeleteI had considered ceiling mounted track lighting, but that is very interesting. I will have to look into that further. Thanks Dwayne.
