colored ceiling fans

A ceiling fan used outdoors, such as on a covered porch, deck, or gazebo, can serve several purposes. Outdoor ceiling fans can provide a cool breeze and make hot days much more comfortable, keep bugs away, and provide beautiful and unique decoration. It is important to use fans that are made for outdoor use; indoor ceiling fans cannot hold up to the elements like those that are designed to be put outdoors.

Outdoor ceiling fans are great for providing a gentle breeze on a hot summer day. Anyone with a porch, deck, gazebo, or any other type of roofed open air outdoor area should consider buying an outdoor ceiling fan. Outdoor ceiling fans gently stir the air downwards, creating a pleasant breeze that allows people to enjoy the outdoors even on a hot, stuffy, or humid day.

Another advantage of outdoor ceiling fans is that they can be great for keeping bugs away. It is difficult for bugs like gnats and mosquitoes to fly in the downward draft created by outdoor ceiling fans. Having an outdoor ceiling fan makes it possible to have a fun, bug-free time outside without having to use annoying bug lights or smelly, oily bug spray.

Outdoor ceiling fans also look good, in addition to being functional. They can add a personal decorative touch to an outdoor setting. They come in a wide variety of colors and models to compliment any outdoor setting.

It is vital that people do not use indoor ceiling fans outside. Outdoor ceiling fans are designed to withstand exposure to moisture, heat, sunlight and wind. Even the best fans do fade over time, especially if they are outside near the ocean.

I am trying to paint a dark basement. Every color I’ve tried looks so different from the samples at the store.

I have tried six different colors. I want a tealish color on one wall and a little lighter color on the other three. The room is a large rectangle with two dug out windows in the far corner. The only other lighting is from two ceiling fans. The color I used looked blue/green on the sample. When I am upstairs it looks fine, downstairs it looks like a wedgwood blue and oh so dark. Even when I shine light on it and in the lightest part of the room it looks blue. The carpet is a dark grey. The results with the other colors were 1) sample with grey/green tone, looked completely gray (think prison cell) 2) sample with a mauve color, looked completely pink 3) sample with a darker mauve, looked completely purple 4) sample of a suede color, clashed with carpet, etc. I can’t believe I am having this much trouble. How can I pick a color that will be okay? Please be specific, I obviously have color issues. Thank you.

There are two reasons for your color samples to look different in the basement, than in the store… (or even upstairs)

First, is wall preperation…. To get as close to the exact color you want, you pretty much have to have at least one good coat, perhaps two, of a very good primer.

Second problem…. and this sounds like it is a big part of the problem…. (especially, if you took the same sample, and carried it upstairs/downstairs, and noticed it looked different)… is the LIGHTING. If all you have is lighting from two ceiling fans, and two window wells…. youve got a problem…. practically anything you try, is going to look different… even from day to night, because of the poor lighting.

First problem can be solved by simply priming the walls with a good primer… Kilz is an excellent primer.

Second problem can be fun to solve… as it involves lighting. There are special “incandescent” bulbs that provide a more balanced color perception, or easier reading environment, etc…. there are bulbs for just about every occasion, and reason these days. I prefer to use the flourescent light fixtures myself (recessed, or trimmed)… and use ‘daylight’ bulbs, instead of the standard flourescent bulbs. Sometimes these are referred to as ‘Kitchen and Bath” bulbs. They make a significant improvement over the standard bulbs. My wife was doing some sewing, and was having trouble with material, supposedly the same color…. not being the same color… and it wasnt apparent until she got them outside. I installed a new flourescent fixture (4 ft, 4 bulb) and used the ‘daylight’ bulbs…. instant recognition of different material colors! They cost a bit more than standard bulbs, but they are well worth it, if you need to be able to see ‘true’ colors.

So, my suggestion is to add some good lighting first… then work on the walls.

Have fun!
