Ordered this fan two months ago and am only now having it installed since the remodeled room is done.  It's beautiful and powerful and quiet.  Those small blades produce a surprising air movement.  The light did not work.  Do not panic if you have the same problem.  Just call Minka and they will tell you what to do to see if it is the fan or what they call "the receiver".  For me, it's the receiver.  I assume if it was the fan causing the problem, the fan itself wouldn't work also.  They are immediately sending a replacement - no problem.  The receiver is a cigarette pack sized box with little plug in wires and everything is color coded so simple to remove and re-install.  so here is a case where there was a problem, and it's being solved super fast with no questions.
