Whether you go with a light kit or not, definitely do recessed lighting. Especially in the master (which I imagine is bigger). DH and I were just joking last night about our pathetic fan light. You can hardly tell a difference between off and on!

What type of bulb is in there? Grab a higher wattage LED. The wattage rating on the fan is for incandesant and for fire risk because the high watt incandesant gets very hot. High wattage LED (equivalent) does not get near as hot.I am guessing you have a 60 watt in there and would benefit from a 100 watt equivalent LED.

I recently installed recessed lights to accompany my fan/light in the living room. The bedrooms have fan/lights and the light is adequate with 100 watt LED bulbs. I would recommend both in a large room if you can as recessed tend to be spot lights and a central light fixture takes care of shadows that recessed lights miss.

86 watt, womp womp. We're using the two 40 watt incandescent candelabras that came with it. It's a complete joke. But the fan works lovely!

Other bedrooms have windows on two sides and are smaller--the fan light alone is sufficient. But were we to do it over again, we'd go for the canned lights there as well.

(But thank you for the advice Vith! Just found some LED replacements on Amazon and should have them in a couple days. Wahoo!)

We put in a ceiling fan and did recessed lights later (in the bedroom). Our ceiling fan has a dome light and I want to replace it as it's redundant and would sleeker without a light kit.

I don't care what any of those tv designers say, I have to have my ceiling fan to sleep.
