The fans are Kichler. Kichler makes light kits that are direct plug ins for these fans. If you are handy they are easy to install yourself. We ordered ours online from Lowes. There are several different styles and they ship them for free. We got ours in a few days.

Highly recommend going to Coleman Crossing where the owner, Jason, has tons of choices and it extremely helpful. Prices are amazing and he also has an electrician who is also excellent and cheap! Have replaced all builder lights both inside and out and even bought the same fan that Dans fans had for almost half the price. In Coleman south on 301…best of luck!

Build.com or lampsplus.com is where we buy our fixtures at good prices.

You can buy the light kits from Amazon for less money than the local stores, and get them in a day or so.

We purchased 3 fans had Dan’s Fan City install them. Pleased with the selection/service.

I think they sell the whole fans with palm design at Lowe's and Home Depot.

Dans Fan City in Leesbug off 441/27. You can pick the base and your blades and they have a huge inventory to choose from. For a fee they will install. Ours was $29 but I am sure it is higher now.

I would check with the company. I expect you will find it less expensive to replace the entire fan for one thing if you change the blades the center part, the motor, will still be it's current color. The blade assembly needs to be balanced.

A word of caution when installing those ceiling fans, the electrical box.
Electrical boxes need to be reinforced to support the weight of the ceiling fans.

Some real horror story's out there on ceiling fans dropping from the ceiling from poor support.

If the ORIGINAL box was for a ceiling fan you should have no problem replacing the fan, however, if you are replacing a ceiling LIGHT with a fan, then I agree with above, these boxes and the supports are NOT designed for the weight of a fan. Lowe's sell an OLD WORK fan bracket kit that supports 75 pounds as OLD work and 150 pounds when installed as NEW work. I have used these twice and they work very well IF you have access to a roof joist.
