I ordered two of these Hunter 42" ceiling fans with light kit for my 15'x15' kitchen. They installed easily and look great in my 100+ year old farmhouse. I read reviews of several ceiling fans before purchasing this model, and many complained about dim lighting. I hoped that installing two in my kitchen would provide sufficient light. I'm disappointed that the 60 watt chandelier bulbs do not produce enough light to read at my kitchen island. Each light kit has 2 60-watt bulbs but the decorative light bowl is fairly dark and projects a warm light. At this point, it appears no brighter bulbs will be available for a chandelier size, so I will be forced to add accent lighting above my kitchen cabinets to try to brighten the room. I may be able to find a different bowl that allows more light to project, but it would probably impact the style negatively. I haven't needed use of the fans yet, but they do operate quietly, just as Hunter promises.
