Slipstream 65-Inch Ceiling Fan in Oil Rubbed Bronze with Tinted Opal Glass and Eight Blades Floor & Table Lamps In the mid-twentieth century, the design world changed forever.

At Lumens, you will find a great selection of mid century modern and retro themed lighting, lamps, ceiling fans and furniture. Why We Love Mid-Century Modern Designs Iconic mid-century designers like George Nelson and Arne Jacobsen incorporated intense colors, organic silhouettes, seductive curves and bold geometric shapes in their pieces, which continue to remain highly sought after by mid-century enthusiasts. And even today, lighting designers continue to include many mid-century elements, both funky and highly ingenious. In the collection pendants and chandeliers found here, you'll see influences from the 1950s.

Table lamps and highly decorative floor lamps also feature that retro-inspired touch. The assortment of mid-century furniture includes well-known chair designs, sofas and sectionals with throwback appeal and coffee and accent tables. Finally, you'll find plenty of mid-century modern ceiling fans to help round out the look of your home. Where Mid-Century & Retro Designs Work Best On the ceiling, Sputnik styled pendants, chandeliers and flushmounts are without a doubt representative of mid-century design. This classic Sputnik choice was prevalent in many homes of the 1950s and brings an exceptional amount of character in the recreations found here.

And what is a living room without mid-century modern furniture? Finally, look to retro furnishings for just the right amount of accenting implements.

Lighting > Indoor Lighting > Ceiling Lighting > Ceiling LightsEdit ArticleHow to Take Down or Remove a Ceiling Fan Two Methods:Removing a Ball-in-Socket Style Ceiling FanRemoving a Flush Mounted Ceiling FanCommunity Q&A Having a ceiling fan can be a simple and efficient way to move air around any room. They can be a great addition to your home, but once they stop working, or their look becomes outdated, it's important to know how to take them down safely. Most ceiling fans can be easily removed by following one of these methods. Assess whether you have a ball-in-socket style ceiling fan, also known as a down-rod mounted ceiling fan.

These type of fans are distinctive in that the body of the fan hangs a bit away from the ceiling on a pole. [1] The pole connects at the ceiling at a canopy, which is just a small metal enclosure that covers the mounting bracket and wires for the fan. This type of ceiling fan can usually be easily removed in a few steps. Always turn off the power at the electrical panel before working on anything electrical. An easy way to make sure you have turned off the power is by keeping the fan on when you go to switch the breaker. If you have successfully turned off the correct breaker, the fan should be coming to a stop when you return. Place your ladder under the ceiling fan. Remove the metal canopy that covers the mounting bracket by loosening the screws on either side. You may need to use a very short screwdriver to get between the housing at the ceiling and the main body of the ceiling fan. Once the canopy is unscrewed, simply lower it down so it rests on top of the fan body. Now you should be able to see how the ball at the top of the fan pole slips easily in and out of the bracket.

You should also be able to see the electrical connections between the fan and the wires in the ceiling. If you cannot get into the space between the housing and the fan body, you may want to follow method two below, as it will tell you how to take more parts off the fan apart in order to remove it. Retest that you have no power coming to the fan. Remove the wire nuts that are connecting the wires from the fan and the wires from the ceiling together. You may need to pull all the wires out a bit to access the wire nuts but once you have them in hand, turn them counterclockwise and they should unscrew. Once you have detached the fan wires from the wires coming from the ceiling, be sure to put the wire nuts back onto the wires coming from the ceiling. This way, if you need to turn the power back on before you install a new fixture, your wires will be safely capped off. Grab a hold of the whole light fixture and slide the ball at the top of the fan pole out of the mounting bracket.

Lower the fan to the ground. Detach the mounting bracket from the ceiling. It should be attached with two screws the electrical box in the ceiling. It is a good idea to put the screws back in the electrical box once the bracket is removed so that they are there for the next fixture you want to attach. Even if you are going to put up a new ceiling fan, you should still remove the mounting bracket. Every ceiling fan comes with its own mounting bracket that is made specifically for that model. Assess whether you have a flush mounted ceiling fan, also known as a bracket mounted ceiling fan.If you have successfully turned off the right breaker, the fan should be coming to a stop when you return. Remove all light bulbs and any bulb covers from the fan, if your ceiling fan has a light kit attached to it. The light kit is simply the portion of the fan that is the light. On most ceiling fans with lights, the light kit is a separate section of the fan that can be removed separately.

On many styles of ceiling fans the lightbulbs are simply accessible by climbing up a ladder and unscrewing them but some models require you to take off a cover that encloses the bulb. Be gentle when removing the lightbulbs. If they happen to break, you should be cautious when removing a broken lightbulb from the socket. Remove the light kit, if your ceiling fan has one. While some models will allow you to take the fan body off the ceiling without removing the light kit, most flush mounted ceiling fans require that it is removed, so that you can get to the screws that attach the whole fan to the ceiling. This step will require unscrewing the screws that hold the light kit to the fan body. Inside, you will most likely have to disconnect the wires that connect the light kit to the fan. These should simply be connected with wire nuts, which you turn counterclockwise to unscrew. It is a really good idea to retest that you have no power coming to the fan once you have opened up the light kit.

This is most easily done with a non-contact voltage tester, which tests for magnetic fields around wires quickly and easily. Remove the fan blades with a screwdriver. Ceiling fan blades are connected to the body of the fan with metal brackets that screw into the fan body, basically the housing for the fan's motor, and into the fan paddles themselves. It's easiest to keep the fan blade brackets and the fan blades attached and just unscrew the screws that attach the brackets to the fan body. This way, you aren't removing twice as many screws while up on your ladder. If you plan on re-using the fan, be sure to keep all the parts. Placing all the parts in a marked bag or envelope is a good idea. Loosen the screws that hold the fan body to the bracket on the ceiling. Remove the fan body from the hinge on the mounting bracket. It should simply have a piece that slips out of the bracket. Often, there will be a safety chain coming from the fan attached to a joist in the ceiling.
