My God. I think I just threw up a little. It's not really overly surprising though, I mean they sell through all kinds of sites. If they go in-store, that's another story, but being connected with Hunter, selling online with HD half makes sense.

They just started selling Casa. Just the other day they didn't. I hope they bring them in store because HD and Lowes are the two main places people go shopping for fans.

If they go in-store, you know Casablanca will have sunk down to a new low. I personally don't think they will, at most they'd do a uni-pack something or other unless they're under major company restructuring. If they put the whole line in the stores you'd lose all the versatility of a showroom fan.

LOL, yup, I can't find the owner's manual for it online, neither have I seen one in person, so can't comment on what type of motor it has in it. Looks decent, though. (:

172mm motor, not bad but could be better. The Holliston is a big piece of fan to with a killer motor to match...

Yeah, it has an XLP. Could be a Casablanca Direct Drive in the HB.

The Bristol Lane has a 172 X 17mm. You can turn the light arms up or down. I've seen them in person along with a handful of other upcoming models and they look really nice.

Yeah, it has an XLP. Could be a Casablanca Direct Drive in the HB. The XLP-Plus is 38mm., which is far better than the traditional XLP which is only 28mm. There are no Casablanca/Hunter parts on that fan as this (Bristol Lane) model is Designed by Minka and Manufactured by Youngo which is one of Air Cool's Factories in Mainland China. The funny thing about this fan or it's design is that Minka is well-known to be aggressive when it comes to protect their intellectual properties and will follow sue to ANYONE who copies the slightest minimal design from any of their fans, (There's a current litigation with Lowes and Fanimation regarding the Goldey.) yet they turn out to make copies of other current models from their competitors and when the suits come up, they deny any similitude between their product and the product they are accuse of infringed upon.

Perrey, good to see you back!
I was going to email you this week. I am in a position to start working on what we discussed. It will be slow going, but no slower than any other time I am working and have a family (therefore, forever).
Let me know when you're ready.
