I had an island extractor fan there before and now need to create a drop ceiling to install a ceiling fan

Can anyone recommend any instructions / advice, have a plasterboard ceiling drop needs to be 40-50cm and the fan is this one - https://www.appliancesuperstore.co.uk/aeg-ndc7721sb-120cm-ceiling-cooker-hood/?_gl=1*qxjmov*_up*MQ..&gclid=CjwKCAjwqJXUBhBNEiwA8BgG7jcDav15Lv8s2om-9h-KCyZ-vTra4nE4MPbCNFaG6L7Q69oDkgMfEBoCY9MQAvD_BwE&gbraid=0AAAAADHQOXeDlTGJ0OmXspC7FjV4c2t6g

i have the ducting and electrics in place from old extractor fan

thanks in advance

Going to call an electrician, but I’m wondering how big of a job this is..

I’m replacing a decades old fan, but when I removed the canopy, I saw it was a usual old threaded pipe mounting system and I don’t see a standard fan-rated electrical box. I need the old mounting hardware removed and a fan-rated ceiling box/support installed for a modern ceiling fan. The ceiling may need to be enlarged, but idk how much bigger…

Does this sound like it’s going to be a huge job?

Its always going counter clockwise and its 20 feet in the air. Any idea how to switch it?

Apartment building that I live in is being renovated, and I was able to snag this before it hit the dumpster.

I have the fan wired as pictured (no remote, not sure if it is meant for one, would like to bypass if it does need one - got it used). Fan works with switch on, rolls through speed settings fine. Lights do not come on, would like the lights to work. Thanks!

Fan does not get a DC power am I doing something wrong in the wiring?

Curious about this damn fan. For the life of me I cannot find any information on it. Unfortunately, the sticker with identifying information is gone. TIA!

I have a smart ceiling fan in my 1 year's bedroom and the light won't turn off!
It's a Globe Electric Caledon 52-in Black LED Covered Outdoor Flush Mount Ceiling Fan With Light and Remote Control Included. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Globe-52-IN-GLOBE-FLUSH-3-BLADE-BLK/5015128441

It's been installed and working fine for a bit over a year now. Yesterday, the light won't turn off completely. The picture makes it look a bit brighter (and daylight coming in from behind the curtains), but it's still bright enough to read by! App says it's off, there are no other programs or routines working on it. Pressing the button on the remote takes it from full bright ON to this dim orange light "OFF". The only way to really turn it off is the power switch, but that turns the fan off too. Not an option in the summer in the south!
I've already deleted the fan from the app and re-added it. Same thing. I don't think it's something with the app as the remote does the thing as well. I turned it off completely with the switch for a few hours this morning but still have the same issue when we came back. Please help. We've covered the crib with a blanket to shade it from the light, but the baby still had a bit of a rough night.

My best friend is decorating her baby nursery and we saw this on marketplace but it was sadly already sold… we cannot find it anywhere online but would love to get it if anyone can source it!

I know it’s a Hunter of some kind, but I need an exact model.

So I bought a fan for my living room. It has a remote. I cannot for the life of me figure out what #14 is.

This is the only picture I have. It's from a friends house and I'm wondering if it'll fit either a 60w or 40w bulb....

Even an approximate brand is fine. Whoever makes fans that looks like this one

It was a 310 RPM fan to begin with, and then I changed the capacitor, and now I don't even wanna know how fast it's spinning. But I do like my personal tornado.
