What size ceiling fan light should I buy?

What Size Ceiling Fan?

The size of your ceiling fan lighting depends on the size of your room. Calculate the square footage of your room by multiplying the length by the width.

Up to 64 square feet: 32-inch fan
65-144 square feet: 42-inch fan
145-225 square feet: 44-inch fan
226-400 square feet: 52-inch fan
401-625 square feet: 60-inch fan

When the ceiling fan light fixture is installed, the lowest part of the fixture should be at least 7 feet above the floor, and fan blades should be at least 2.5 feet from the nearest wall.
