I'm not one who normally writes reviews, though the older U get the more I'm finding myself leaving them. Cannot fault delivery and was well packaged. Instructions are not the greatest, definitely need better images per instruction, and a few things would have been better to have known before installing ceiling bracket. Because I like things to look the best they can when fitted, the instructions don't mention what way round the bracket should face therefore after struggling for a while re-wiring the ceiling from past shoddy owner and then went to install light again after taking my time and putting it together, I found the bracket should really only go one way (unless you want the switch at the back be the first thing you see when you walk into the room, rather than the stylish writing on the front) I didn't so I ended up having to reposition the bracket......this could have been avoided if instructions mentioned it. Anyway now its up it looks stylish and is very quiet, however the dimmer isn't that dim, but wow it is bright. One last thing, the remote instructions says there is 1,2 and 3 fan settings 1 being lowest, well its not 3 is lowest....personally that doesn't bother us....overall it is a great stylish light.
MR R WILTSHERI last installed a fan about 20 years ago, in our bedroom. That particular fan was having problems with the remote control receiver, after all those years of reliable use. Being an unknown Chinese make, I was not able to source spare parts. I had been looking for a replacement when I came across the Westinghouse Colosseum at £127-00 on Amazon which is a good price for a remote controlled fan with dimmable LED light. I had been considering fitting a fan in the living room as well so I took the opportunity to order two, in white.Delivery was the following day even though the order stated 3-4 days.The instructions come in an impressive variety of languages though could still be more informative.Assembly was straightforward, and the fan gave the option for use of the supplied down rod, or flush fitting. As we have 8' ceilings I opted for flush fitting. The fan comes with a steel ceiling bracket which screws to the ceiling with 2 screws. For peace of mind it is advisable to find a beam to screw it into through the ceiling panel rather than depend on screwing it to the panel itself.If using the downrod, this has a ball which locates in a socket in the steel bracket and allows the fan to move a little to absorb any vibration. The steel cover then just locates with a couple of locating screws and is fixed with a copuple of fixing screws.If using the flush fitting, the fan fits directly to the steel cover which is fixed to the ceiling bracket as described above, without the ball and socket.In both options, the remote control receiver slides into the mounting bracket taking up the full width and the space inside the cover is very restricted. I found that to use the original connector blocks which joined the existing wiring which came through the ceiling (after removing the original bedroom ceiling fan) I had to cut out an equivalent sized hole in the plasterboard ceiling to accommodate them as the cover, with attached fan, would not fit to the ceiling bracket otherwise. Once I had established that this was the way to fit

Looks great but now my light switch is useless - Is it right that I have to use the remote to turn my bedroom light on? Seems crazy to me - Wanted to ask the seller but no option on my account so had to ask here in my review.
Steve ProcterAvoid. Quite noisey and the glass shade has developed a one inch long stress crack crack all on its own after two months. No way of complaining to Amazon and no spare shades anywhere. £170 and now only fit for the bin. Will never buy from here again.
