Yes, it does go in reverse. There is a toggle switch to change the direction. It uses two light bulbs. I have two 60-watts in. It's pretty bright. I have it outside on my back (screened) deck and sit out at night doing crossword puzzles.

No reverse, two bulbs. Great quiet fan but light is not suitable for reading.

No reverse option. I believe it may be 1 bulb. Not extremely bright due to cover.

This is definitely not a bright light fixture, subdued lighting. It is not good lighting for reading, games, etc. There are at least 2 bulbs. And as said, no reverse.

The fan has a reverse slide switch on the motor housing. The lighting is 2 or 3 60watt lamps. plenty of light.

Hi, this product is not the correct product for you. However, at your own risk, and the fan nor the wiring diagram not in front of me to check it. It is really hard to know what each wire is. Typically, the Red and white usually connect to the power, blue to the light (dimming is done usually through the remote receiver) at this point there is usually 1 more wire for the motor. You have 3 left that is because your fan reverses via the remote. You can buy the correct one that reverses on amazon or ebay or try to Google the wiring diagram. I wouldn't touch it unless I knew what was what. You can burn out the unit very easily or make a fire hazard or get hurt.

Hi SLM, thanks for the question. Yes, the fan direction is reversible. There is a switch you can operate to do this. We hope this helps!

I don't see how a light fits on this fan. If you want one with a light, I think you need a different fan.

I believe 7 bulbs is correct, keep in mind they are a special quartz bulb, I haven't researched replacement of the bulbs, but they may have to come from Minka. We like the fan, we do not use it for primary lighting.

The light is very dim and with a yellow/orange color. Even at it brightest setting, it's more of an accent light than a usable light. This Minka fan replaced a fan with a 75W incandescent bulb, and is much dimmer and much more yellow/orange in color. I'm going to try another light bulb and hope that helps. UPDATE: I replaced the light bulb in my fan with a 150W bulb. The new bulb is much brighter. Now, while not real bright (maybe equivalent to my old fan with a 75W or 100W incandescent bulb), my Minka fan has a useable brightness.

I have the same question: I'm looking for the clear base so that the side light shines through. Without the clear base, the light only shines down (not sideways) and so doesn't match the other bulbs in the ceiling fan.

Yes, the fan up lights and down lights..didn't count the bulbs when installed, but 7 sounds reasonable. The fan is simply stunning!

Is it possible to reverse the fan? - I'm not an electronics expert but it might be possible. The only reason I can see that you would want to do this is to pull air "into" the existing exhaust and out the current "intake" making it pull hot air in from within a smaller area. There might be better products to do this. Slowing it down shouldn't take much more than putting in a resistor or two. But, again, I'm not an electronics expert, so that would take some research on how to accomplish this.

Hi Liz, Thanks for the question. Usually the reverse function is at its most convenient when it's used with a remote control. Many fans also have a reverse switch on the actual fan, on top of the motor. Not sure if this one does, however. Still, with the remote, you have full reverse capabilities, as well as light-dimming control. We hope this helps. If you need anything else Liz, please call one of our experts.

I'm not sure what you are after--- a track light ON the fan? or separate on the ceiling. If the latter, probably, if you want to deal with the complexity of the wires (Minka supplies plenty of spare wire you cut to size). But if on the fan itself, I'm not sure I see the purpose: it's an expensive fan and well designed, so why bother to monkey around if you are getting something of such quality that has a light designed for it?

This fan does not come with a switch. If you have a 3 conductor romex cable run to the fan, then you can have separate switches for fan and light.

No, there is no light on this fan. Light kits are available for this fan using compatible MINKA-AIRE light kits.

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.

Hi. My 3 fans are new and they came with bulbs. I had electrician put them up so I'm not sure what size the bulbs are.

I would say no. I bought led bulbs to put in it and it wasn't bright enough for my taste. I ended up purchasing a new light kit for it that uses 4 led regular bulbs. Love it!!! Search Hunter Fan 99143 Four Light Fitter, New Bronze here on amazon, this is what I bought and it will fit this fan. It puts out much more light and you can customize with your own light covers!
