Dan, have you ever thought about using 2x4 lay-in fixtures in the areas where you have suspended ceilings?

Looks great Dan! I'd leave the Fasco and the spinner as-is. ;D

The 5 light kit came stock with that brass Envirofan. It's actually labeled Envirofan, Decorafans, Buffalo NY
Bryan, are those not the fixtures we already have in the room with the Gold Lines?

I was thinking of the room you're calling the "community center", in the first page of the thread.

The room on page 1 with the three white industrials is the same room as page 3 and 4 with the three white industrials. It now has those lights.
As for the other room with the black ceiling, that's what I'm debating using. BUT seeing as we dont have any extra fixtures or money, we wont be doing it any time soon unless you donate some!

When you overload these controls, they wont burn up or overheat. The fan will simply not start on low. You can attach as many fans to a capacitor based control as you like, so long as the fans still run on the control's lowest speed. Usually the maximum is two. Capacitor controls designed for more than one fan, or designed for higher powered fans like Originals or Blenderfans, simply use higher value (microfarad) capacitors. Ok cool! I did not know all those information about theses controls. Thanks. |

Lighting is expensive for a fact! I work for an electrical contractor, so I see lighting fixture quotations on a regular basis. I've seen some projects where just the fixture cost alone averages $500 a fixture. Some of those fixtures are little more than formed sheetmetal. |

I think it matches the character of the ceiling fans very well.
What type of fixtures are those two in the second picture? Are they fluorescent, metal halide? Looks like they give off a very pure white light.

Nice lights! I really like the industrial-style ones in the second pic.  |

All 8 fixtures have PAR38 120w halogen flood bulbs installed.
All but one (can you tell which) are actually mogul base, and so I had to buy mogul-to-medium-base reducers.

Here is more or less the finished project:         Here are things that have yet to be done, in order of urgency: 1. Change one of the bulbs in the stage lights, it's about to die 2. Repair the drop ceiling where it is damaged or was installed improperly. THIS IS NOT MY JOB 3. Clean the floors and carpets. THIS IS NOT MY JOB 4. Replace the AB Evergo spinner with an identical one. 5. Possibly replair or replace the other cane Evergo, depending on how it behaves with the AB replacement 6. Replace the chandelier dimmer, and add a dimmer for the rope lights 7. Replace the ballast in one of the kitchen fixtures 8. Replace the cap in the front Gold Line, and/or figure out why it's slower than the other two 9. Determine if the stage lights need dimmers* 10. Rewire the two hall fans (brass Envirofan, white Fasco) with proper outlet boxes and controls Only #1 #2 and #3 need to be done immediately. I will be doing #s 4-8 as soon as the replacement Evergo arrives. Everything else can take it's time. Regarding #9, right now the only means of operating the stage lights are via two dedicated 20 amp breakers hidden in the back room. I am fine with this, as I am the only person that will be able to cut them on. But if it becomes necessary for others to have access, I will install switches or dimmers. |

Wow, it looks great. You still want my Evergo, right? My dad is kinda getting on top of coming down, I get my wisdom teeth out next week and then I think we're free to get the wheels really turning.

That room looks great with the white hood lights! They appear to be a nice change, in both look and effect, from the recessed fluorescents, and they and the fans are both interesting and unobtrusive. Excellent choices!
