Its been a while, with work and such, but I am back. This week's project was to install a Classic white Panama in my mother's guest bedroom. This fan replaced another panama, which was made from parts. The light kit was a suggestion by Dan Neuman, and I was able to acquire it from the Broward Habitat, with Adam's help. At any rate, here are the pictures: Attachment DeletedAttachment Deleted |

Looks great! I suppose the blades are mahogany like I have on my Panama II?

I love it! Classic white is always a good finish for Panama's.

I'm going to guess that this is an Inteli-Touch... am I right?

I LIKE IT! I would have preferred 4 blade install, though. Great job with the light!  4 blades is much more classic and will give you better performance, but on the Panama, I generally like it with 5. |

For me it depends on the finish... if it's brass or white or brass and white, go with 4. Anything else, go with 5. |

Chrome, chrome/satin steel, satin steel with red, orange, green, turquoise/aqua, blue, black,or purple accents, or chrome with those same accents (high gloss blades too), would look good w/ 4 blades. Other than that, go with 5. Matt R's install was exemplary, but would've looked just a tad better with 4. Uh... Vincent, you're pretty much agreeing with me when you said white is a good finish for 4 blades. |

I have one like that, but it only adapts 5 blades... my brushed nickel Panama in my bedroom has 4/5 blades, as it is from 2011, and I put 5 on. |

Mine is also in my bedroom, its a 2012 model, and it can take 4/5 blades. What years did they not put the 4/5 blade flywheel on? I thought they always had that. |

Is yours IntelliTouch? I think the ones that were the Panama 5 (V) were the ones with 5B only flywheels.

It did come with a typical Intellitouch wall control, but I had to get the remote because I don't have a wall switch that goes to it. I'm pretty sure it's a V, but I could be wrong. I'll have to look at the box later today when I am home. |
