I have 4 Delta II fans in my new house. 1 is connected to a 3 way controller, the other 3 are connected to a 4 way dial. I thought the fan only came in 3 or 5 speed.
I also have a Lady Delta, 36 I think. Are the blades from a Victorian able to be put onto that Lady Delta? The control on the Victorian does not work, its either off or max speed/light.
Were all of the Delta IIs 52 inch or are some 50? Any one know the CFM?

"3-speed" refers to the number of speeds on the pull chain - the number of speeds available on a wall controller (unless it's Inteli-Touch) are not related. I'm not sure about the blade compatibility. Is the Victorian Inteli-Touch? For specs, check the old catalogs on iheartfans.me. Looks like Delta II's are usually 50". The last Panama XLP moved 6226 CFM; a Delta II should be similar. |

All Casablanca flywheel before 2013 have same hole spacing for blades. Not everything. What he means is will Victorian blades fit onto the Lady Delta brackets, and I believe the answer is yes, as long as they have the "tulip" or "pretzel" shaped brackets. |

What he means is will Victorian blades fit onto the Lady Delta brackets, and I believe the answer is yes, as long as they have the "tulip" or "pretzel" shaped brackets. Vince, the Victorian's blades will be able to fit on his Delta II's brackets, but not his Lady Delta's. Lady Delta fan blades are narrower than the standard-spaced blades for Casablanca's other traditional fans, as are the brackets, therefore making the hole spacing too narrow for a Victorian's blades or any standard-style Casablanca blade for that matter. Also, the Pretzel-shaped brackets on the Pre-2000s Victorians are bigger and wider than Lady Delta brackets. What Kestrel could do, however, is transfer his Victorian's blades and brackets to his Lady Delta, since the flywheels have the same hole spacing. |

Ha, that's the poster above me that owns those fans! The only ceiling fans I currently own are the Concord builder fan that I'm looking to replace, and a 1997 Casablanca Panama in Dark Bronze with Inteli-Touch and the round two-light kit so many '90s-'00s Casablancas have.

Oh, sorry. What type of fan are you looking to replace your Concord Builder with? Most likely a Minka Simple or some other ~52" contemporary, DC-motor fan, since it is a large room with a tall ceiling but there isn't a ton of clearance to the closest wall. (The house it's in is really my parents', so they are making the final call.) |

Oh, sorry. What type of fan are you looking to replace your Concord Builder with? Most likely a Minka Simple or some other ~52" contemporary, DC-motor fan, since it is a large room with a tall ceiling but there isn't a ton of clearance to the closest wall. (The house it's in is really my parents', so they are making the final call.) The Minka Aire simple is a really good fan performance wise and for the price you pay for it; it was among my favorite fans of 2017 when it was released. But there are other options, even those outside of the realm of DC motors that would be good to look at. 1. Fanimation Edgewood 52", linked here: www.hansenwholesale.com/fanimation-edgewood-52-decorative-2 the Edgewood line of fans is Fanimation's performance series. These fans, though they are AC and not DC (188×20mm AC motor), are some of the best air movers around if you are looking for an average sized fan. These are built very well too; I have a 60" Edgewood in my family room and its construction is solid...oh, and it moves a ton of air. The 52" variant is $54 cheaper than the Simple, if you are interested. 2. Minka Aire Rudolph, linked here: www.hansenwholesale.com/ceiling-fans/shop-by-brand/minka-aire/minka-aire-rudolph-1 these are also AC (172×16mm AC motor), but even though they have a very average motor size, these move nearly as much air as the Simple. I tested one of these at a showroom about an hour away from me, and it was definitely up there with some of the best fans in this size range, performance wise. Also, this fan is just over half the price of the Simple! 3. Quorum Pinnacle, linked here: www.hansenwholesale.com/quorum-pinnacle-4 this fan lineup is Quorum's performance model, and it is very similar to the Edgewood performance-wise (these have 188×22mm AC motors), and are extremely powerful. These are a little more expensive than the Edgewood lineup, but there are more color options for whatever look you are trying to achieve. 4. Minka Aire Supra, linked here: www.hansenwholesale.com/ceiling-fans/shop-by-size/standard-size-fans-49-to-56/minka-aire-supra-52-1 these are some of the best bang for buck on the market; $120 for a well-built fan that performs about as well as a typical K55-type "stack motor" fan, like your Panama(these have 188×15mm AC motors); I have one of these as well. They are a steal for what you get; reliable, sturdy (as well built as my Edgewood), powerful. 5. Fanimation Xeno, linked here: www.hansenwholesale.com/fanimation-xenoI am aware that this is a bit bigger than 52" (it's 56") but it's worth a mention. These are more on the contemporary end, but they are extremely powerful and move a lot of air as well (these have 188×25mm AC motors). 6. Fanimation Levon Custom, linked here: www.hansenwholesale.com/fanimation-ceiling-fan-mad7912gz?fee=15&fep=334553&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIk4PnycvC2wIVCMpkCh1FUgJrEAQYAiABEgJY3PD_BwE this is a great option if you don't mind splurging a little bit, but even still, you get an excellent fan. These have large DC motors (DC165NM is the medium-size variant of the 165mm variety; 165mm is large for DC), and they indeed move a ton of air, probably about as much as an Edgewood, and they look cool while doing so. 7. Gulf Coast Riviera II, linked here: www.dansfancity.com/riviera-satin-steel-with-52-driftwood-blades these are really good fans, 'nuff said. Die-cast motor housings, high-quality veneer blades, and probably the most powerful variety of 188×20mm AC motors on the market; these move a TON of air, probably more than anything else I have listed here. If what you care about the most is performance, this is where I'd go. Gulf coast has a variety of other fans that have the same type of performance this fan has, and some options that are easily among the most powerful residential fans made today. I am aware this list is kind of long, but these are really good options to look at along with the Simple. All of these fans have very simple and utilitarian designs, since it seems like that is the look you're going for. |

^ Awesome! I will suggest those and see what my parents think. Do they mind more traditional options, or are they really bent on something contemporary? (I realize this thread has gone way off topic. Sorry!) Getting them to agree on any fan is the issue. My father thinks anything more expensive than a Hampton Bay industrial is too expensive, and he insists on installing it himself; my mother loves the Haiku and Simple. We may have to make it a Father's Day gift or birthday gift later this year... (And I am 500 miles away from them and will be for a while due to school.) Another edit: one thing they do agree on is that they prefer a fan in a white finish. |

Another edit: one thing they do agree on is that they prefer a fan in a white finish. It's alright that the thread went off topic; Curh's questions can easily be answered comprehensively. Seems like quite a pickle to me, honestly. Given your father's price ideals and your mother's design ideals, I'd either buy a Fanimation Xeno in White, linked here: www.hansenwholesale.com/fanimation-xeno-wet-4Or I'd go for a Fanimation Ascension, which is at least closer to "reasonably priced" than the Xeno is: www.hansenwholesale.com/fanimation-ascension-1But, it is ultimately their decision as to what they want to see when they look up. I hope you can get tthem to agree on something  |
