Bring class to your living room with a chandelier ceiling fan

Most ceiling fans are run-of-the-mill fixtures with a lightbulb or two. If you want to upgrade your fixture, take a look at the numerous chandelier ceiling fans available, which have a chandelier attached to the fan. Chandelier ceiling fans bring a mix of both a fan and light to add a decor element to your space.

What to know before you buy a chandelier ceiling fan

Cubic feet per minute of airflow

Also known as CFM, cubic feet per minute refers to the measurement of airflow that helps to cool down a space. You want the highest possible cubic feet per minute of airflow in most cases, so you can increase the temperature on your thermostat and save some money on energy costs in your home.

Size

It’s important to choose the right size of chandelier ceiling fan. You should choose a ceiling fan with a blade span that’s about 36 inches or shorter for a space that is about 75 square feet or smaller.

Select a ceiling fan with a blade span of about 36 to 42 inches for a space that’s 75 to 144 square feet, and a chandelier ceiling fan with a blade span of 50 to 56 inches for a space that’s 144 to 224 square feet. For a space that is about 224 square feet or bigger, purchase a chandelier ceiling fan with a blade span of 52 to 62 inches.

What to look for in a quality chandelier ceiling fan

Motor

Choose a chandelier ceiling fan with a motor with sealed bearings that don’t need lubrication, since they don’t need as much maintenance. A DC motor tends to be the most expensive and efficient. Select a fan with a motor that’s bigger than 200 millimeters if you want a budget-friendly fan that still performs fairly well.

Lighting

Most chandelier ceiling fans have beautiful lights within the chandelier itself. There are some ceiling fans with other lighting styles, such as contemporary fixtures or traditional globes.

Energy efficiency

Search for a chandelier ceiling fan with an EnergyStar seal if you want to reduce your energy costs.

How much you can expect to spend on a chandelier ceiling fan

Chandelier ceiling fans range in price from about $500-$600 depending on the features, materials and size. The most basic chandelier ceiling fan goes for about $500-$150, while midrange chandelier ceiling fans cost about $175-$275 and the most high-end chandelier ceiling fans vary in price from about $300-$600.

Chandelier ceiling fan FAQ

What’s the difference between a downrod-mount ceiling fan and a flush-mount ceiling fan?

A. Flush-mount ceiling fans are mounted so they are flush with your ceiling; they work well in spaces where low profiles are preferred or rooms with low ceilings. Downrod-mount ceiling fans use a rod to move the ceiling fan slightly lower from the ceiling. This kind of ceiling fan works well in rooms with high ceilings, usually about 8 feet or taller.

How do you keep a chandelier ceiling fan from wobbling?

A. Chandelier ceiling fans typically wobble because of small differences in the weight between the blades, but most ceiling fans have a balancing kit, which includes weights you can add to the ceiling fan blades to give the fan proper balance and adjust the weight.

What should you look for in a chandelier ceiling fan that you want to use in an outdoor space?

A. Search for a chandelier ceiling fan that is wet-rated or damp-rated to protect the motor of the ceiling fan, and make sure the ceiling fan can be exposed to high humidity or moisture without malfunctioning.

Pharmaceutical company WuXi AppTec’s former Mendota Heights location is expected to close and 124 of its employees to be laid off following the company’s acquisition by North American Science Associates, according to a Monday notice to the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development.

North American Science Associates, or NAMSA, will move services at 2540 Executive Drive in Mendota Heights to the company’s existing facility at 8945 Evergreen Blvd. NW in Minneapolis over the next several months, wrote Human Resources Director Amy Kincaid to DEED Commissioner Matt Varilek. NAMSA is a medical device contract research company.

As part of that transition, the Mendota Heights site will undergo a phased workforce reduction over the next several months with 39 employees to be laid off starting Monday.

Phases of the layoff will continue through October with the eventual closure of the site. An estimated 17 employees from the site’s approximately 141 current employees will be transferred to the Minneapolis location.

Affected employees are not represented by a union and there are no applicable bumping rights, according to the letter.

NAMSA has decided to provide pay in place of the 60-day notice required under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act and state statute, according to the letter.

NAMSA, which is headquartered in Toledo, Ohio, and has locations in Europe and Asia, acquired WuXi AppTec’s U.S. medical device testing operations in late February, according to its website.

It also acquired one other Mendota Heights WuXi AppTec location at 2520 Pilot Knob Road.

WuXi AppTec is headquartered in Shanghai, China.

SAN ANTONIO — Dribbles bounced off hips, no-look passes went to no one and Florida’s talisman point guard couldn’t make a basket.

And when the Gators’ bench was assessed a technical foul early the second half, a frustrating night was hitting its peak.

But then the resilient Gators came alive as they fought back from a 12-point deficit in the second half to beat Houston 65-63 in the NCAA title game for the the school’s third national championship.

A blocked 3-pointer by Thomas Haugh led to his spinning layup and three-point play. Walter Clayton Jr., scoreless in the first half, tied the game three times in the second half.

And the Gators created their own version of Houston’s suffocating defense that had stifled them for so much of the first half.

As Houston looked for the winning 3-pointer in the final seconds, Clayton forced Houston’s Emmanuel Sharp to abandon the shot. Sharp had to let the ball go, creating a mad scramble as Florida’s 6-foot-11 Alex Condon fully extended, diving to the floor to get it.

The Gators had looked completely out of sync in the first half.

Nothing was working for Clayton, who had scored 30 and 34 points in the previous two games to carry his team to the final.

That meant other players had to step up.

“We have 20 minutes. Let’s set the tone!” Will Richard told his Florida teammates in a huddle just outside the locker room at halftime.

Richard had kept Florida in the game with four first-half 3-pointers. Condon, who finished with 12 points and seven rebounds, did the work on the defensive end with a key role in holding Houston’s muscular J’Wan Roberts to eight points on 3-of-13 shooting.

And as usual, Clayton delivered the biggest moments in the rally as he tied the game three times, the first two on spinning layups for three-point plays and the last with a contested 3-pointer.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Twins lost 4-2 to the Kansas City Royals in the opener of a four-game road trip to Kauffman Stadium on Monday night, dropping their record to 3-7. It’s the Twins worst start to a season since 2016, when they went 1-9.

Home plate umpire Nic Lentz ejected Twins manager Rocco Baldelli in the bottom of the sixth inning for arguing a pitch-clock violation call against right-hander Simeon Woods Richardson.

The Twins got a bit of much-needed length from Richardson, but he allowed four runs, eight hits and four walks in 5 2/3 innings. The Twins in the club’s previous two outings got just four innings from their starting pitchers, and they came into play last in the majors in innings pitched by starters, averaging about 4 1/2 per outing.

Baldelli was ejected for the 15th time in his career after Lentz called a pitch-clock violation that resulted in an automatic ball, which gave Jonathan India a walk.

With seven seconds to go, Woods Richardson stepped off the rubber and appeared to signal that he couldn’t hear the communications with catcher Christian Vázquez. When he couldn’t get a timeout called, Woods Richardson ascended the rubber and began his delivery with two seconds remaining. At this point, Lentz signed that Woods Richardson was in violation, giving a free base to India.

Baldelli burst from the dugout shaking his finger and arguing in obvious disagreement. He appeared to shout “You [messed] up” at Lentz, who let Baldelli blow off some steam, but the manager appeared intent on getting run. After he was, Baldelli kicked his foot across home plate, threw his lineup card and other items from the dugout. Coach Jayce Tingler took over managing duties the rest of the way.

Twins left fielder Harrison Bader made a pair of highlight reel catches in the seventh. The Twins offense couldn’t muster much offense against right-hander Michael Lorenzen or the Royals bullpen, aside from Willi Castro’s score-tying RBI double in the second.

India led off the bottom of the first inning with a double to left-center after outfielder Byron Buxton couldn’t hang on for the catch. Buxton appeared to protect himself by slowing down before crashing into the padded fence, and might have taken his eye off the ball.

After Bobby Witt flew out to right and failed to move the runner, India scored on a bloop double by Vinnie Pasquantino that Bader booted after a tough hop, though not for an error.

The Twins mounted a rally against closer Carlos Estévez in the ninth, with Bader lining an RBI single with two out, which also put the tying run at first base. Edouard Julien worked the count to 3-1, but grounded sharply to second for the final out.

The Royals improved to 5-5.
