I have these ugly builder light/fans in each of my bathrooms.
While remodeling my boys’ bathroom, I thought I take the light out and replace with something nicer. Until……
I removed the cover and see a big square hole in the ceiling. How what am I suppose to do with that BIG hole?
The way I see it I have 3 options:
1. Leave it like it is. {Yuck}
2. Put a fan only cover on and rewire for a new light.
3. or my vision and Hubbies execution {see below}
My idea was to replace the light cover with the fan only cover, drill a hole in the center, and run the electrical wires out the hole to install a new light.
Both light and fan with out making another hole in the ceiling! Soooo much better!
We did the powder room too.
NOTE: If your thinking about doing this in your house, you do need to use a semi-flush light. Flush mount light would not allow the fan to circulate the air. {But you knew that!}
