Fan can be used without light. Bottom of fan to ceiling is 8" to 9" without light. It can be mounted on screened-in-porch if it is centered in room away from any blowing rain around the sides.

Well, Mary, it is outside in our patio, its' not real bright, I guess you can try a higher wattage. I didn't buy this for the lighting per say, but I thought that I would install the fixture regardless. Also, this fan is pretty high up, but its' adequate. Hope this helps.

I believe you could leave the light off of the fan.... although it is really a pretty light... I love this fan! Pam

This fan does not include a light kit; it is light adaptable; the lighting inquiry response would depend on which light fixture is chosen.

I don't have a porch, but our eaves hang lower. We don't have any problems with the light fixture. Still very happy with it.

I never had a use for the lighting, my use is strictly air circulation and outdoor water resistance. Having said that I looked again at the fan and can see that the option for a light fixture and switch. I don't know if you can order the fan with the light. Hope that helps.

I believe you will need to purchase a light kit separately. Which should be available and mountable after removing the disk on the bottom center of the fan.

The light kit must be connected in order for the fan to operate. It is not a typical fan that has the endcap (cover) that would be removed to install an "optional" light kit

The fan is definitely designed to be mounted on the inside. To install outside, you'd likely have to build a frame on which to mount the fan, and then mount the frame and fan to the exterior wall. As far as weather protection, I'm really not sure.

This fan would not be useful for a screened in porch. As it is a fan designed to provide a heating source for a room, having screened walls would defeat the purpose of the fan. Additionally, the fan is not an exterior rated waterproofed fan. For the cost of the fan, you would be much better served purchasing an exterior fan for cooling purposes on a porch. Should you close in the walls then this fan would provide cooling and heat as you wish.

Yes, you would need to connect the power from the fan to the light. Recommend you get a license electrician to do the wiring.

I don't believe this was intended as an outdoor fan. the blades will probably droop after exposure to moisture/humidity. If you found some outdoor fan blades, I would imagine it would work fine on a porch or what not.

I purchased two of the Hunter 23568 (Weathered Bronze) ceiling fans. Same fan as yours, but a different color. The light kits I ordered are the Hunter 2839F (fluorescent), but the light is also available in incandescent, #2839I. The light is rated for outdoor use, even in wet weather. It fits close to the fan, and that's great for our purposes because we didn't want a light that dropped down too far from the ceiling. It's not fancy looking, but it looks great outside on our patio and appears to be very durable. I've always liked Hunter fans because they are known for their quality. Hope this information is helpful to you.

we bought this fan for our sun porch because our ceilings were low and this fan is small. in order to have used the lilght we would have had to intalll a third wire. so we don't use the light at all.but i would try a higher watt bulb and see if it blows!!

Fan moves a lot of air. I have it installed on 17'x20' covered deck. I don't see how a light kit could mount to it. The whole bottom of fan spins along with the blades.

I do not think fan be flush mounted. Ceiling to bottom of light height is very close to 18inches.

I don't believe it is specifically designed for outdoor use, but if it is used in a semi-enclosed area like a screened-in porch where it is not directly exposed to rain, it should work okay. I've seen similar fans mounted in the ceiling of front porches. Make sure it is properly grounded and powered through a GFCI breaker.
