Globes, over the past few decades have become an important design feature of ceiling fans. Not only does the appliance itself enhance the look and function to provide a different kind of atmosphere within a room but the lighting also plays a very important part in setting the ambiance. Most leading brands have realized this and now produce different fan globes to fit your fan for whatever your arrangement is.

CEILING FANS

Before you consider a fan light it is always recommended to consider the size of your room, the colours of the walls, the height of the ceiling and the type of lighting you desire.

Lighting kits may come in the form of individual lights that can be angled in any direction or more commonly come in the form of ceiling fan globes. Either option allows you to make a beautiful statement on room. For a large hall like room with high ceilings you may wish to choose a more elegant fan with elaborate lighting. For a small room with low ceilings, a more compact fan would be sufficient and would only require the simplest of globes for lighting.

The great thing about ceiling fan globes kits is that they are very easy to install, especially if you already have a fan already installed. See our article on How To Install Ceiling Fans and Globes for more information.

The fan globes and lights come in a varied assortment of styles and materials from glass globes to plastic globes, from clear transparent to frosted in color and can come powered with neon or normal bulbs. It all depends on the style you wish to go for and what will compliment your room décor. The best place to find a huge variety is online, all from top leading brands.

The size of the ceiling fan globes and fans that you decide to choose should be proportionate to the size of your room. Medium to larger sized room fans are much easier to find on the market as these are more common, however for smaller rooms, this may be difficult as not many manufacturers produce them. Fanimation is one of the manufacturers that do.

The key is to try and judge what size of ceiling fan you are going to require. For small rooms, there is no point fitting a fan which will produce more of a wind than a gentle breeze. You also don't want to be fitting a fan with ceiling fan globes that are far too extravagant for the amount of light you actually require. Smaller rooms are more suited for the likes of a 29 inch fan blade.

The majority of small fan globes and fans cater for children's rooms and come with different themes of styling. Many will come coated in very bright, extreme colors and some come with sport, animal, airplane and spacecraft designs. With most globes being round in shape, kids who are interested in the likes of soccer and baseball can have their very own baseball or soccer ball design on their bedroom light.

Children's bedrooms are often designed to create a child's own little world for their imaginations to run wild while they play with their toys. Manufacturers have realized the appeal of creative fan globes in the form of different themes. Many offer a wide selection of ceiling fans, normally in the forms of sports, airplanes or rockets.

The fan blades themselves may also support a creative design but the fan globes design is what really set the ceiling fan off. The most common theme is probably Sport, with many globes coming in the shape and colors of baseballs and footballs. Other themes such as rockets are made to look like the front of a shuttle and for airplane designs, the front of an old war plane are quite common. The blades then act like the propellers and for kids, this is something beyond fantasy. Their own airplane in their room.

Again, depending on the theme, the designs will alter. The fan blades on some ceiling fans can be as small as 30 inches in span and some can be as wide as 55 inches. Some come with very cool features such as neon lights in the ceiling fan globes and clear translucent blades. These kids ceiling fans are very unique, therefore the price may be slightly more.

However, themed ceiling fans are not just be appealing to kids. Adults appreciate them also. A great example could be ceiling fan globes themed around the likes of Sport. A globe with a baseball design would compliment any baseball themed room.

It all depends on the theme you wish to create in your room. Whether you are a child or simply an avid sports fan, there are wide variety of creative fan globes and fan designs available in the market.
