The brass-and-oak ceiling fan in my bedroom rattled when it was on, so it was almost never on. Even the ReStore wouldn’t take it… they already had a number of brass fans that no one was buying.

I also wanted to have better control of the fan speed and light brightness, so we added the Lutron Fan Control option as well.
