What happens with the ceiling lamp or fan?

Celestial Ceilings - About Us
We don't need to remove them. When the room is dark, the lamp will not be noticed or get in the way of the stars. Same with ceiling fans. They are not an obstacle. In fact, when the fan is on, it feels like a breeze coming down from the sky.

What is ceiling fan blade pitch?

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Ceiling Fans
Blade pitch is the angle of the blades when compared to the horizontal. Quality fans generally have a blade pitch of 12-14 degrees. Lesser fans can have a blade pitch as low as 8 or 10 degrees. The higher the pitch, the more pressure the fan blade applies to the air in front of it as it turns and the more air is forced downward. That's why some lesser quality fans can look like they're spinning up a storm, but when you stand under them, you can't feel anything.

This is most effective with the fan in downdraft mode on a medium or high speed. While you will feel the strongest breeze directly under the fan, if the fan is good quality, and the proper size and installation for the room, you should be able to feel air circulating no matter where you are in the room.

What ceiling fan size is right for my room?

DeGeorge ceilings, fans, floors, custom cabinetry, skylights...
To get maximum comfort and energy savings, it is necessary to choose the correct size fan for a room. Blade span is the key. A fan that is too small or too big for your room may look awkward. A fan that is too small probably will not move enough air and a fan that is too big might overpower the room. We recommend the following: Large Rooms - For rooms up to 225 square feet (15' x 15') and larger, use a fan with a blade span of 50", 52", 54", or 56".
