Can I install this on an angled ceiling or will I need a special kit?

Hello - I am no expert, but from what I recall in installing this I believe you will need something to level the attachment point. I think you would be able to contact Westinghouse directly and ask them. This is a beautiful light/fan; I've been very happy with it.

Too hang a fan on a vaulted ceiling, you need an extention rod. You'll want to see what rods the manufacturer provide. Since I don't know the height of your vault, I wouldn't know what length of rod you'll need. You may be ok with an 18" rod.

it can be done ...but with the slant on your ceiling may produce a wobble in the rotation of the fan

Yes, I don't see why this lamp could not be installed on the slanted ceiling.

The ceiling in my garage is 10' high and there is plenty of room for adjustment in the basic set-up so I believe you will be OK. The kit also comes with an extension strap that could be utilized if needed.

Yes you can. Mine is on slanted ceiling I just cut a block to the angle and mounted to flat side of block . And it works awesome

I plan to buy mfc's "rod extension kit" which one customer service rep didn't know is available! This will give me more flexibility in how low the lights hang from a very high, sloped ceiling. Then if I need to cut any rods, will connect two pieces with 3/4" dowel pins -- voila, truly customized installation.

Hi, I'm sure that you could use the swag kit. I will attach a web site that may help you. http://www.doityourself.com/stry/instaling-ceiling-fan-with-swag-kit. Hope this helps

I suppose you could get a longer pole to allow it to be attached to an angled ceiling. I did replace the candelabra bulb with what I think maybe is an LED candelabra bulb (more fluorescent looking light), but not sure, since the bulb that came with it is very dim. The new bulb is also dim-just not as much as the other. The bulb I bought was recommended by someone else on Amazon who replaced it. If you look through the reviews you should come upon his.

My fan is mounted on a flat ceiling so I can't help you on how it will do on an angled ceiling. (At minimum you will need a longer tube.) I did look into replacing the two 40-watt bulbs with LED ones, but the light socket has a candelabra base (i.e., small base) thus I was unable to find a LED bulb that has this type of base AND is dimmable.

If you are careful during installation and follow directions, it should be fine on a slightly sloped ceiling.

Certainly , you may have to extend the length of the support chains that are supplied with the light. You may have to go to a lighting, hardware or big box store and get much longer suspension chains to offset the additional height of an angled or cathedral type ceiling.

I checked with my husband, who actually installed the fan. Basically he said that the issue would be getting the right ceiling mount kit, one that would compensate for the sloped ceiling. Without knowing what kind of sloped ceiling you have (gently sloped? cathedral ceiling?), it's difficult to be more specific than that. Basically, I think any fan can be installed on any ceiling if you have the correct mounting kit. Ceiling fans need a lot of support and there are many ways to compensate if your ceiling is problematic in any way (such as retrofit ceiling fan "Saf-T-Brace"). I hope this helps somewhat. Good luck!

I'm sorry but I can't confirm that, but the mounting hardware that comes with device is pretty easy to install. The electric box in ceiling should allow for any standard mounting bracket

Yes. I bought this and had to install it facing down due to a lower ceiling. Still looks good.

This CAN be installed on an angled ceiling. Not sure about LED bulbs though.

You should be able to add something or even stand on a ladder because all of the componets that move are at the end of the unti and are controlled by the remote control. I have to reach bulbs in a 12 foot ceiling and I can do that with the pieces that come with the kit.

As long as there's a box in the ceiling..there shouldn't be any problem to get it installed!!
