Using the flush mount, would this fan hang too low, with the light, for a small kitchen with 7'7" ceilings?
1268486
I could not find anything in the instructions that mentioned a flush mount or how to mount the unit flush (against the ceiling) so I used the shortest drop rod. My ceiling height in the small bedroom I installed this unit in would not allow me to use the light kit as I would be bumping my head into it as it would hang too low. The ceiling fan works great without the light kit and looks very nice, but I would have preferred a light that I could have used. Also instructions for installing the fan without the light are not in the supplied instructions, you must get them online, which I found irritating. It's very simple, but it should be included on the instruction sheet.

Jeffrey I went over your measurements of 91 inches from floor to celling which is 7' 7". The 52090 Hunter fan is 18" which leaves a measurement of 73" from the floor which equals 6' 1" from the floor. thats not a safe clearance for the fan blades, even if you remove the light fixture which is about 6" but also you need to know that blades slant down about an inch, my opion is you don't have a safe clearance for this fan. I have the 34" Hunter fan and it is a fantastic fan but I have about 7' of clearance and it is above a table.

Jeffrey, with the ceiling mount the fan would hang down about 15 inches to the bottom of the light fixture plus the added hanging chains. You would only have 6'4". If it was to hang over a dining table it would work, but anywhere else your taller friends and family might get a cheap haircut. Or at least bump their heads. You might want to consider a wall mount fan. I saw one at a lighting store that looked antique and was a antique copper color. Hope this helps

I believe it would be fine. My ceilings are about 8 ft. and I did not use the flush mount and with the drop it is in a position that feels safe. So 6 inches less space with the flush mount closer to the ceiling should work.

I hung mine flush mount and it extends 18" down and an additional 10" for the longer chain. Use a yard stick and see how that distance will work for you. Mine is over my kitchen table. I hope this helps.

In my opinion, it would be too low. The bottom of the fan light would be at 73 inches. Good luck...!

I've 8 Ft ceilings as well. The fan hangs down 12" from ceiling giving you 7'. My fan hangs over the kitchen table and I've plenty of room under the fan. I think you would be fine using this fan.

Absolutely not. I installed this fixture in my regular height dining room and the light is so bright I use my dimmer to lower the illumination. I think a higher ceiling might accommodate this light well as it gives off a bit of heat, and I am confident it will be well placed.

Yes, to both questions. It's a big bulb, though, and it might be too big for a ceiling fan. Also, it's not a "pretty" bulb, so if the light fixture is downward-facing, it might not look good. Regarding mixing bulbs, that's no problem at all. I do that all the time in my fixtures.

You should be o.k. with a 10 ft ceiling. I recommend you read my review on this fan; I'm not a real "fan" (pun intended) of this product.

It's definitely not flush with the ceiling. The motor drops downs about 4-5 inches from the ceiling. So the bottom of the fan would be at around 7 ft from the floor. Someone could still walk under it but it would be low.

Mine is mounted flush but there is about an inch of space in the back to play around with if you did not want it to be flush. Also there is a rounded section that extends beyond the cabinet. The picture shows this just incase this would interfere with your lighting.

It depends how low they are hanging, but in general I would say no...you're better off having some stronger lighting.

According to the specs on the box (we're not in the house to measure it), for a flush mount (no downrod), the overall distance to the fan bottom, measured from the ceiling, is about 10.5", and 8.5" to the blades. Using the included 2.5" downrod, the distance increases to 12.6" and 10.6", respectively. For a light kit, it will depend upon what you buy, as the kit sizes can vary greatly. I hope this is helpful.

Hi Steve, You would be better off with a smaller unit. Honestly, we had issues with this particular unit on one of our recent installations. Look at some of the other smaller units as they are better fit to accommodate your 7' ceiling height.

Yes! Mine is hung from a flat 10' ceiling over a workspace. Clean, no fuss look, and the fan proved to be a good choice. It's my second Hunter Fan, and I've been very staisfied so far with its performance in a small space.

Using the shortest post provided in the package (which i believe is considered their flushmount), my fan measures 17" to the bottom of the light bowl.

The way you see it pictured is considered flush mount but not using the extension rod. They do make true "flush mount fans" but they come down just as far if not further off the ceiling. This particular one really comes down pretty far so I would only recommend it if you have a 7 1/2 foot ceiling or more or in an area that would not cause injury to someone that is taller. I love ours and it is beautiful looking. Make sure you have enough clearance were you intend to install it with or without the extension rod

Yes, it is built to be close to the ceiling. If you want it to hang low you probably need and extension or buy a different mount.

I am not sure about flush mount but the fan installation came packaged with the drop rod and that is how I installed mine. I have normal ceiling height and is located so that there is not a lot of foot traffic underneath the fan. Looks great mounted as manufacture has provided with rod and has clearance of six feet plus a few inches to the lowest point of pull chains. The chains length can probably be modified. necessary.

Absolutely. The fan hangs from the ceiling support. This is not a flush mount fan.

It can be 'flush' mounted, the blades will be about 1' from the ceiling and the spot lights will be another 4" below the blades.
