Product Details
The Hampton Bay Bentley II Tarnished Bronze Ceiling fan has a caged fan design and is great when air circulation needs to be directed or if space is tight. It also has an oscillating feature that sways back and forth which creates a nice breeze. Operation is easy with its included wall control which can be installed in place of an existing wall switch. This fan is also rated for damp locations so it can be used under covered outdoor locations. Special note: The oscillating function can only be used if a 3-wire conducting cable has been installed in your existing wall switch to the ceiling junction box (a red wire inside your ceiling junction box is evidence of this connection).

Damp rated for covered outdoor use
Decorative canopy ring and coupling cover are used to conceal exposed hardware
4.5 in. tarnished bronze downrod with 3/4 in. Dia

A:Â I have purchased these myself. I do not recommend wall mount. The motor and mechanism that oscillates the fan (left and right) will not be able withstand. Best use of this is for hanging from ceiling.

Q:Can I run 2 of these fans off one control switch?

1 Answer
Answer This Question
A:Â While the oscillation function will work fine, the fan speeds may not work as intended. The wall control changes the fan speed by limiting the amount of power to the motor at medium and low, but if the power is split among two fan motors the amount of power set by the wall control will not match or be sufficient to power two fans at the same time. The manufacturer of this fan sells a hand held receiver/remote kit for this model that will allow you to control both fans with a single wall-mountable remote, you will just need to purchase two receivers and 1 remote.

Q:Once installed can I rotate the fan manually from the down rod axis as indicated in my photo below?
by|Jan 11, 2023
2 Answers
Answer This Question
A:Â Your photo does not appear for us, but if you mean to rotate the fan 360 degrees from the ball/top of the downrod so the fan oscillation direction is on a desired path, then yes (albeit in increments of 45 degrees). The ball of the downrod has an octagonal shape that gives you multiple directions to point the fan during installation. Once the fan is installed you will no longer be able to rotate the fan from the downrod. To help visualize this explanation, the manufacturer has an installation video for this fan model that can be viewed on their website here: https://www.tal-usa.com/wall-control-and-plug-fan-list/18-bentley-ii

Beautiful design and powerful
Pros: Aesthetically pleasing; solid construction; powerful fan. Cons: 1. Fan does not oscillate to a full 45-degree angle in either direction (more like 22.5). Given that we were using it for a corner application, the angle was too shallow. I ended up manipulating/locking angle at 45 degrees (see review by PDXGuy). A lot of work, but worth it. 2. Hanger bracket too small 3. Canopy could use an interior foam surround, so that the downrod doesn’t get scratched up during installation.

Sticky controls
Looks great. Easy to operate, and puts out a lot of air (which I like). However, we have a 3-way switch and the control is sticky and not smooth to operate. This fan is also surprisingly loud. In addition to the old fashioned fan noise, When I have it on it sounds like airplanes or lawn mowers are in the distance.

Durability issue
Bought three with one as spare. After 6 months, one stopped oscillating and motor starts making noise. Changed out with the spare fan. After few months, fan motor stopped working on the other one and not too long after that the other fan stopped working also. The worst part is the corrosion. I anticipate have to change out in 1 to 2 years due to being in Florida. However, these fans rusted within 6 months. Here is the picture of less than year old.

Fan works well . The only confusing thing I found was the fan control #1 setting is the highest speed and # 3 setting is the lowest speed. Fan Extremely easy to assemble. I installed the fan on the front porch as I didn't have the room for a regular ceiling fan.

Durability issue
We purchased two of these for each of our kids room after a friend recommended them. I was impressed with the how they operated but after 3 months, one of the fans somehow began wobbling, like it was out of balance. The fan blade appeared to worked itself loose. The other unit worked great until the oscillator stopped working. I thought we wouldn’t have to replace any ceiling fans so soon. We are going to repurpose them outside on the patio on a fixed position. Would not recommend for the intended purpose.

Had to hack it to tilt at 45 degrees
Excellent quality and easy to install, but oscillates only by +/- 20 degrees, not +/-45 degrees as advertised. I had to hack it to disconnect the oscillator (which is fine for our corner application) and lock it at 45 degree angle. See photos
1) Initial maximum tilt of 20 degrees
2) Remove 4 screws attaching the bracket to the fan; remove back cover
3) Linkage arm and actuating crank are too short
4) Remove linkage arm, cut red wire.
5) Added stopper using 5/8" #6-24 stainless screw and nuts
6) Now lies at a 45 degree tilt
