We had a question about this fan (could 2 of them share the same switch, which is included with each fan); we called Matthews Fan Co., they answered the phone immediately and with a couple of minutes the person came back with an answer: no, each fan needs its own switch). They are beautiful, too, though maybe a little more subtle air flow than ceiling fans. We placed 2 on a high beam in the kitchen and the act that they angle down worked perfectly.
