Craftmade's Five Light Decorative Scroll Ceiling Fan Light Fitter, F545-CFL, is one of the few multiple light universal fitters available for installation on your ceiling fan. Further, it does not require candelabra bulbs and, if you so desire, will accept incandescent bulbs. Five 13-watt CFL bulbs provide ample light for most rooms; our light is installed on the family room fan. It does an excellent job of providing light for the 18' X 24' space so that no other lights are necessary. One caveat if the bulbs are "pointed" at a seating area, they will be too bright for the seat's occupants. If possible, turn the light fixture so the bulbs will not be directly aimed at someone.
This light fixture is easy to install on almost any Craftmade fan. It is equipped with "quick connects" which just require you to match correct wire colors. If you are installing this fixture on a fan which doesn't have the quick connects, you just need to cut them off, strip the wires, and twist them together correctly, using wire nuts. As I am not an electrician, that was the abridged version of how to connect this fixture; if you have never done something like this, please consult with an expert professional or trusted handyperson.
As I learned when trying to locate this fixture in polished brass, Craftmade has recently discontinued a number of finishes. You may want to be sure a vendor has your desired finish in stock before ordering. Alternatively, you can contact Craftmade directly about the availability of various finishes. Their CSR's are very helpful and will go out of their way to get you the information you need.
If you are looking for a fan light fixture that actually provides enough light to be useful, you will not be disappointed with the F545-CFL.
