May times when someone wants to use ceiling fans, the recessed lighting is placed around the perimeter of the room. It can get tricky with the ceiling fans. I've seen where a fan was installed too close to the recessed cans and the flickering drove me nuts. If you want a quicker answer than waiting for the lighting book that you ordered, you may want to go to a lighting showroom and speak with someone there. They should be able to give you several suggestions. In the dining room, are you going to put a light kit on the fan to illuminate the table? If so, you won't need to have recessed cans close to it. The cans can be placed around the perimeter and you will be surprised at the amount of light that reflects back into the room. If the kitchen fan is going to be over the eat-in area, the same question applies. Will you have a light kit? With vaulted ceilings my main concern is where is the ceiling fan outlet going to be located. If it is not centered in the room, you are going to have to know the pitch so that you get the right fan and the right length of rod so that the blades don't hit anything.

What the manufacturer said: "essentially no one can help me because they 'make over 800 different fans and have no way of knowing which parts might be interchangeable.'"

Thanks again. I did review a number of options before posting here for review by the big guns. :) I know some people love the remotes, but personally, I prefer simplicity and control via switches. A remote is one more thing to lose and/or have "hidden" by young children! And yes, our current switches are rotary-style combo setups (two knobs per switch) that control both lights and the fan - there are two settings for lights (low or high) and three speed settings for the fan - each controlled by its respective rotary knob. I've found plenty of switches that control both fan and offer dimming for lights - but all are rated for halogens or incandescents. It's just odd, and I wonder why. I did try a "dimmable" candelabra LED in our current fan/dimmer switch setup - it flickered badly on the low setting. I think some dimmable LED bulbs are okay with newer incandescent dimmers (per happy reviews from folks like JMVD), whereas other LEDs - even those rated dimmable - are more finicky. I won't beat a dead horse. I just wondered if anyone knew of combo switches rated for LEDs that I might have overlooked, or if there was a compelling reason for why they don't seem to exist yet. Maybe we'll try a Maestro switch though, and experiment. Thanks again!
