[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Funny.20 x 15 screened porch here. Southern facing. Two skylights.

We have four recessed lights, and a light in the ceiling fan.

We recently added the string lights from Costco after 10 years.  I’d recommend you do the same, AND get a light on your fan.

You can always dim everything, but for the most part, we like it bright. And so do guests.

Also, get an enclosure like we did and make it a 3-season room capability. You’ll be having Thanksgiving dinner out there, trust me. It also makes the porch useable during pollen season.

Yes, we are doing EZE Breeze windows, so it will be usable for a good part of the year. Not sure about the light in the ceiling fan. I've never liked how the lights in ceiling fans look, and can't imagine we'd use it much at all. We will have four skylights. Now I'm wondering if we should do two ceiling fans instead one one.[/quote]

Depends on the seating setup, size of the fan, and your preference. If you do a large one with high CFM then you are probably OK. We like to feel with air movement so we did two smaller fans over the seating areas.

Be sure to check the CFM either way - the higher the better.

And, depending on how high the ceiling is, you may need extension rods to get the fans down to human level.
