$25. I can't remember if the bulbs were GE or Sylvania. I have an assortment of both in 15 watt, I try to use them for videos as much as possible since they don't wash out the image quite so much. That is actually an excellent idea! I will have to experiment with 15-watters next time around...

That is actually an excellent idea! I will have to experiment with 15-watters next time around... I typically use low-wattage bulbs in my fans because I want the lights to just light up the fan nicely,, and I use lamps to light the room.. But I never thought to do that for videos.. That is a good idea.. Harsh lights really do spoil a video..

I watched the islander video; definitely looks really freaking nice, I can tell you that much. As for performance; seems pretty good but a little worse than it was with Casablanca standard blades, or a little worse than something like your Provence, an Apollo, or your Brescia. What is your assessment, Cole? (No, I am not trying to challenge you or anything lol) I ask way too many questions :> If that's what you gathered as well, I'm inclined to agree. It's really hard to say because the composite blades move a lot of air but it's different because it's more pitch and less wind noise. But the blades are heavier too, I can't imagine that helps all too much. I typically use the 15 watt bulbs in basic 3/4/5+ light kits in the fan room as well just because anything more is way too much light for the space.

Why would a fan with a higher blade pitch create less wind noise than another with a lowered blade pitch? I know airflow between the two would be awfully similar, but how is this different?

I don't think the video represents what I want to explain, obviously I'm not explaining it well either, but it sounds like it's moving less air than the Casablanca blades. I think that's clearly because it spins remotely slower with the composite blades, so there's less whoosh whoosh sound out of it, but the pitch helps to make up for it in actual air movement.

I apologize in advance for the long-winded post below, there's a lot to say on this one! The Emerson Keane is finally shipping en masse! I've been waiting many months for this to ship from the retailer, and finally it has arrived. I got this one on my own, it's not for a review or sponsored video from Emerson, I just wanted to check one out for myself. This fan was really the first 2016 ceiling fan I saw from any retailer that wowed me big time, I see so many influences in it from Homestead to Fanimation to 1990s Emerson itself. Just a stunning aesthetic, so simplistic but very unique. First time seeing the specs was slightly disappointing, but when I saw the price point where it was selling I immediately understood what they were doing. This is supposed to be an affordable, modern style fan for the Emerson lineup. We're talking only a 153mm x 17mm spinner motor with 12 degree pitch, but like anything Emerson, it's optimized to do its job well with what it's given. I feel that this fan is an extremely good value, I couldn't believe it was retailing under $200. Emerson isn't exactly a name in ceiling fans that's known for value, they easily could've sold this at nearly double the price with the same specs and people would buy it for the appearance alone. I've never been so excited about a 'budget' fan from a showroom-type company, this fan breaks new ground that I didn't even know would be broken. The one problem I encountered with mine is that the switch housing resonated like a tuning fork any time the fan was in motion (and even for a second after shutting the fan off). I isolated it with some rubber washers, after which it runs silently, but I've never encountered resonation like this on any fan before. Minor issue, I'm not sure if it'll be widespread or if mine was unique, but I'll probably cover it next time I talk with someone at Emerson because it really was an annoying sound.

I said it looked like a homestead, it really badly needs 6 blades.

That is a nice fan, reminds me of that airplane-styled fan that Target sold in the '90s... not sure if I like Emerson's new plain, white box design over their older box design, though.

I like it with three blades, personally. Six would just be too busy for me on such a simplistic design, then you take into consideration that it'd need a bigger motor, then the price goes up infinitely. I really like this because it ended up being a budget model, an incredible design at an affordable price. It performs pretty much like a 52" Northwind based on the specs, so I'd call it a worthy replacement.

Interesting fan.. Considering most fans of today are stuffing 5 blades on 153X15 motors, 3 on 153X17 probably isn't all that bad..
As for the design,, I'm generally not fond of modern styles like this,, but this one is okay.. I would have liked to see it in white though..

The design and price point are indeed excellent. The 153X17 motor does not bother me. After all, there are only three blades to account for as Jordan pointed out. Out of curiosity...
- Who manufactured this for Emerson?

5,069 CFM.
Literally no idea who made it. It's ETL listed, none of the numbers bring up any information.
