I have a very unique bulb in my ceiling fan from Home Depot; it's about 5 years old, the Belvedere. Since I didn't remember the model name and couldn't locate the owner's manual I called HD store, they knew nothing.( I don't know about Lowe's and their fans.) Anyway the company that makes some or all of HD's fans is King of Fans. I first contacted HD corporate offices in Atlanta, sent the rep a picture of my fan and bulb via email and within two days I received call from the HD rep and King of Fans rep on a conference call and ordered the replacement. King of Fans is in Florida, just google it for their contact info.

Hello Susan, Greg here, I am one of the ceiling fan experts at Hansen Wholesale. I have been selling ceiling fans for nearly 30 years now and as a test, I put the Minka Aire Concept II in my daughters bedroom, and the Emerson Curva Sky in my small home office. Both rooms are about 10 x 10. They are both 3 blade flush mount fans that are quite similar in style and price range. I prefer the Emerson Curva Sky because it is a bit less heavy looking and runs quieter due to the blade design. It also comes with a 6 speed controller compared to the 3 speeds of the Minka fan. It is also in the same price range. So, I prefer the Emerson fan over the Minka fan. Emerson has been making ceiling fans since 1895, Minka Aire is a recent company about 20 years old now. Both are good brands, but I prefer Emerson for the longevity. I used the 44" fans in these rooms, but if your room is any bigger than 10 x 10 you should use the 52" versions since they move a lot more air. Both versions were upgraded this year to include an LED light and have an "L" in the model number. The previous year's models have a Halogen light. So make sure you get the "L" version Here are pictures and links to the white versions, although they are available in other finishes: Notice the Curva Sky is less bulky CF152LWW: Emerson Curva Sky 52" CF144LWW: Emerson Curva Sky 44" F518LWH: Minka Aire Concept II 52" F519LWH: Minka Aire Concept II 44" I am happy to respond to further questions: Greg Tillotson Ceiling Fan Expert Hansen Wholesale https://www.hansenwholesale.com

I've never had an exhaust fan in a laundry room, but have had the exhaust fan/light combos that looks like a recessed lights in bathrooms (nutone/braun makes them too- that's the brand we had/have) that I really like! I would probably switch to that and make use of the venting since it's already there...

Yes it can be done, if you are not a wires person I suggest getting whoever is hanging your new light to swap out the switch for you.
