Comments on Casablanca TRIH-45 Trident Ceiling Fan, Brushed Nickel
This is a georgous fan, and the photo here does it no justice. If you check around, others that look like this model cost well over $100 more, and often double. . . we did our research looking at many through numerous websites. If I can post my photo from our home, I will.
I don’t know why someone complained about the remote, in our kitchen it works from anywhere in the room. The unit uses the remote to operate the fan and the light. . . the wall switch will turn both off. A holder for the remote is made to mount over it’s wall switch plate.
The fan comes with a halogen light bulb that seems ridiculously low in wattage but the light switch is actually a dimmer control and it can be brightened up to 100W. It took me a couple of days to figure this out.

Visually, this fan is stunning. For only having three blades it can move a lot of air. However I returned it due to several shortcomings.
The remote was terrible. It did not reliably function beyond 6′. I ended up having to walk around the room w/the remote trying to get the fan to turn off.
Also, my original goal was to control the fan remotely via wall mounted switches. (Leave the room, turn off the switch–not dance w/a remote. ) However, this fan only has a single wire (black) for power that controls both the fan and the light; there is no way to control the two elements individually except via the remote (see above). Other manufacturers provide two leads (black, blue), and place the receiving remote b/t the fan leads and the power from the switches. Casablanca elected to integrate this feature in the fan itself.
I think the fan was simply a poor selection for the situation in which I intended to use it. Amazon was very gracious about giving me a refund. I would purchase another Casablanca fan, maybe not from the line of fans in the ~$200 price point; they seem to be electronically “crippled”, making them incompatible w/any third party controls.
