I installed a new ceiling fan and light fixture in my kitchen yesterday, and it's a good, solid set up. I replaced the existing fan. No downrod, just a straight bracket bolt up to the ceiling junction box that's well supported. I could probably do chin ups on it.
At the second and highest speeds it does dance a bit more than I would like. I've never screwed around trying to balance one out. I know they sell balancing kits to do it with adhesive backed weights. But I've heard of people using a penny and tape to find the "sweet spot" on whichever blade, (mines a 5 blade 52").
Then epoxy the penny after you've proven out the location with the tape. Anyone have any better ideas? I bought 2 of these things, and have another one I'm going to change out in my dining room. But I want to get this thing dialed in first.
