That thing is WEIRD!!!! Definitely a hugger with a downrod adaptor. (Yes, they made downrod adapters for huggers.)

I kind of like that though because it makes it unique. Honestly if it didn't mount that way I wouldn't really pay much attention to it. What other huggers have a downrod adaptor? |

Try opening the motor housing up. You'll probably find the motor attached to a hugger mounting bracket inside.

I didn't even notice myself until I was given the fan and saw an oddly long black screw sticking through the light almost hitting the socket. Anyways, here is the canopy. Seems to have accepted a pole too but it was flush mounted instead. Definitely an odd fan.
As far as the light goes, that is just as obscure.. I don't even see how that would attach on there.. |

As far as the light goes, that is just as obscure.. I don't even see how that would attach on there..I know it doesn't, when I originally saw it hanging I thought it was some sort of custom mounting system, but when I received the fan I came to find it was actually designed that way. I could try to install it on a down rod someday, but currently I don't have a down rod skinny enough to fit in this fan. It's a very strange mounting system. The fan didn't come with the original mounting bracket so I had to use one from another fan. I had to dig for a while in order to find a mounting bracket that would work. Everyone I tried at first was too big. It's attached on there through the holes that the original light globe would go in to. They must have drilled it in because theres a hole through the second light with a huge screw sticking through the side of it. It's kind of hard to explain, I'll take a picture of it later if you're interested. |

It's kind of hard to explain, I'll take a picture of it later if you're interested. In this case I can see why because the actual light isn't removable. If you look at the switching there's no screws to remove the light and the whole housing is 1 solid piece light included. So I can see why they did that. I'm curious what happened to the light though. Makes me wonder, because the pull chain for the light is incredibly messed up as well. I'll ask the original owners when I get a chance. I could fix the pull chain if I can find a way in there, it's a very odd fan for many reasons, but there's other fans I'd rather be working on and it's not a huge issue really. Only if it was a permanent install I'd bother fixing it. |

I still think it's a hugger with a downrod adaptor. I'm really curious to see what's inside the motor housing.

Only problem is I think the light socket to the original light is gone. I'll take a look at it later. I'm not sure if I want to bother taking the second light off though. |
