However, you need to be sure that you are getting the correct type of fixture for your ceiling, and then ensuring that the downrod is compatible with it as well.

If you have ceiling fans, they can help you maximize your air conditioning by lowering the temperature. However, that will only work if you have the fan going in the right direction. In the summer, you want the fan to go in a counterclockwise direction, also known as the forward direction. This helps drive air down toward the room's occupants. As the moving air hits the skin, it causes it to feel cooler than it really is.

Recessed Lighting & Ceiling Fans??? In a prior house we installed a ceiling fan and 4 recessed cans in the cathedral ceiling of our MBR. The flat portion of the of the ceiling was 10' by 12' with the fan in the middle and the cans in the 4 corners about 2' from the corners. The fan was hanging down on a 36 downrod. There was a lot of strobing when the fan was on. I think that the effect would be minimized if you maximize the distance between the end of the fan blade and the light.
