The light comes from the bottom of the fixture, often through amber glass or a shade, while the motor drives the blades above.

Clear or smoked glass gives a crisper light, practical above a worktop or a table. The choice comes down to the mood you want, not to the trend of the moment. The diffuser usually comes off easily to change the bulb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQuiet ceiling fandelier: where does the noise come from?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe noise comes from the motor and from how well the blades are balanced, rarely from the fixture itself. A ceiling fandelier described as quiet on its spec sheet gives an indication; mounting it on a stable bracket and tightening the blades regularly does the rest.

Fine metal, on the other hand, keeps the look of a designer chandelier without weighing down the eye, and wipes clean with a cloth. Both work well with a neutral fabric sofa.
