The earlier K4S light kits such as this one were not very strong/robust, and tended to sag under their own weight. They improved the design in the mid-1990s; and since the navajo white finish lasted until at least 2010, finding a light kit shouldn't be terribly difficult. I would recommend hitting lighting stores that carry Casablanca; chances are, they might still have something in stock.

Thanks Andrew. I appreciate the response! I've tried for 4 years now to find a replacement light kit and they all tell me the fan - and this finish - the pebbly texture- was not made for long and is unavailable. I first reached out to the store where I bought it and then called Casablanca directly. I called stores in two major city near me to no avail. I bought the fan in 1992- I've replaced everything else in this house since then, but not this superb quiet fan (nor the other Casablanca)!

There's been a lot of NOS (New Old Stock) Casablanca accessories (blades, light kits, etc) on eBay recently from different sellers, so keep your eyes out. Also, another place to check would be local lighting showrooms that sell Casablanca and may have a stockpile of NOS (New Old Stock) Casablanca stuff. Good luck on your search! -Vince

Thanks Vince. I called BuyCeilingFans.com yesterday because the Navajo White was listed on their site, but they have not called back. No online ordering available. I also did another cursory search on ebay - and craigslist. I called a few more of the older lighting stores in Philly without success. I am hoping someone here has this old fan in their parts pile and will respond. I'll keep looking and put out alerts b/c...I love this fan!

Sounds like you may've stumbled across an outdated site... if they didn't answer when you called, most likely they haven't updated their site. Maybe some other manufacturer has a similar finish to Navajo White, and maybe one of their light kits will work, but I wouldn't give up just yet.
