Light Kits
Many Hunter ceiling fans include integrated light
kits packed with the Hunter Ceiling Fan.
Most of these Hunter Ceiling Fan models feature our
modular quick connect switch housing that makes assembly
of the Hunter Ceiling Fan Light Kit a snap. Other
Hunter Ceiling Fan models also include our Easy
Lock™ ceiling fan light glass globes
or shades. Easy Lock™
ceiling fan glass twists and locks into place, eliminating
the need for tools, screws and grommets providing
a much cleaner "Fastener Free"
appearance of your Hunter Ceiling Fan.

Remote Controls
If the Hunter Ceiling Fan Remote Control you have
purchased has a "Receiver", this
is installed either inside the ceiling fan canopy
or between the ceiling fan canopy and ceiling depending
on the Hunter Ceiling Fan Remote Control selected.
Most Hunter Ceiling Fan Wall Controls can be added
to your standard "rocker switch" outlet
with no extra wiring.

The Hunter Ceiling Fans with Installer’s
Choice® , WobbleFree™ , EasyHang
and HandsFree™
Canopies will accomadate a Ceiling Pitch up to 34°
without the purchase of any extra Hunter Fan
Accessories.
However, if your ceiling angle is especially
steep and exceeds 34° , you should purchase
a Hunter Fan Vaulted Ceiling
Mount Accessory which will accomadate
up to 45° angles.
For cooling, it is most efficient to have the ceiling
fan blades 8 to 9 feet above the floor. It is recommended
to use an Hunter Ceiling
Fan Extension Downrod that lowers your
ceiling fan to this level above the floor to insure
maximum proformance of you Hunter Ceiling Fan.
Most Hunter Ceiling Fans have 78" Wire Leads.
