I was going to install a light, but with a full porch remodel in the works that will include a bead board ceiling I thought a fan with light would be a nicer touch than just a light. I also like the idea that bugs tend not to like moving air so even though it is screened in the fan might get rid of any bugs that do make it into the porch. Install took about 3 hours total that includes running wire, conduit, and installing a ceiling fan box. I probably went overkill on the wiring and conduit but it makes me feel better about the setup. I am impressed with the look and overall quality of the fan as an assembled unit. The light bulbs that came with this appear to give off enough light, but once the weather warms up and I can have dinner outside after dark I will know if it is enough light or if I need to put in brighter LED bulbs than it came with.
Pros: Fairly easy to assemble and install, replaceable light bulbs.
Cons: As others have stated, fan blades are not that easy to install.
