Q:I am looking at the Hunter Sonic 52" indoor white ceiling fan with universal remote and light-kit. The model is 59073. Your on-line description indicates that the lighting is CFL, This model should have 2 8w LED lights. Why the discrepancy? I would have ordered it from you when I was in the store on Saturday, but I did not because of the CFL bulbs. If it indeed does have LED bulbs, you need to change this information on your website.

A:  the lighting is CFL and is not interchangeable. It is also very dim. Forget reading by it. It lights up a room though barely. I don't use the light that often. The fan itself is wonderful. Quiet, efficient and powerful. I usually always have on the lowest speed. I use 24/7. I bought it for the price and the looks!

    A:  We are extremely satisfied with the Hunter Sonic 52 fan. It comes with 2 LED lights, three fan speed, and remove control. I remember that the installation seemed more complex because of the slanted blades and it took two persons to install.

      A:  Hello Aveely, We do apologize for any confusion, but the Sonic fan, model 59073, is manufactured with two (2) 9 watt, medium-based, dimmable LED bulbs. Please let us know if you have any additional questions. Have a great day! Hunter Fan Company

              A:  Yes, would need to purchase a combination rheostat and light (duo) switch. The rheostat will control the fan speed and there will be a small toggle to control the light.

                A:  Hello DB, Since the fan is not manufactured with pull chains, you will need to use the included remote control to operate the fan speeds and lighting. If you would like a wall control, you could purchase the (99375) model that has a wall control but you will not be able to install the receiver that comes with it. You will also need to pair the wall control to the receiver in the fan. Thank you for contacting us!

                    A:  Hi macsmom, If you have an angled ceiling, you will need a longer down rod which is sold separately and if your ceiling angle is greater than 34°, you will also need an angled mounting kit which is also sold separately. Thank you for contacting us!

                          A:  The light is NOT dimmable. I have it in a bedroom with bedside lamps so this isn't an issue for me.

                              A:  Hi Hilda, The Sonic fan comes with pin-based CFL bulbs which need to be turned a specific way to remove the bulb. You will find the owners manual link below that will provide this information on page number 11. Have a great day! http://bit.ly/2oPRJUB

                                A:  The florescent bulb has two large pins at it's base that lock into the socket with a small right turn. So once you can get to the bulb, grab it and turn it left and it will drop out. As to removing the frosted glass cover, I would suggest a similar left turning motion and it should drop out.

                                    A:  Hello MichaelS, Unfortunately, you would not be able to replace the light kit on the Sonic (59072) model fan since it is manufactured with one.
