The Harbor Breeze Solstice is one unique looking ceiling fan sporting some old world charm and appeal. From it's very distinctive bronzed-rustic finish to the 5 ceiling fan blades that look like wooden palm leaves (very nice touch in my opinion) that also have a rustic look, you could definitely classify this one as a rustic ceiling fan. This fan could bring that missing piece to any room that has a darker more classy look and feel.
52" Harbor Breeze Solstice Ceiling Fan
Let's talk about a little detail of the fan itself. Starting from an overall look, the fan displays a deep and rich rustic tone. At the top, you'll be able to mount it with a standard downrod mount that will allow for an extension if you want the fan to drop lower than the included downrod for those of you with high ceilings or open spaces. The housing to me on this fan is one of a kind. Almost in a semi tulip bulb shape I guess with broad vertical striping detail, really lends a touch of class to this fan. Then throw in the etched to perfection details of the blades that really do look like some sort of palms which makes you atleast think of nothing but gentles breezes, you'll actually be able to feel the breeze. The blades are a little wider than most typical ceiling fan blades are in much more of an oval shape than the typical polygonal or rectangle shaped blades. The light housing is fairly unique to this fan. With a semi-globed effect attached to the bronze drop light casing, it really adds to this uniquely designed ceiling fan.
Let's get down to the nuts and bolts on this particular fan. First let's start with what it is not. This is not an Energy Star qualified ceiling fan. The Harbor Breeze Solstice is not an outdoor ceiling fan. This particular fan does not have a CSA Safety listing or an ETL safety listing but does have a UL safety listing. You can find more on safety listings and what they mean here.
What the Harbor Breeze Solstice is though is definitely one of those indoor ceiling fans that would bring some elegance to the right type of room. It's a 52-inch ceiling fan with a three speed reversible motor supporting some reverse air flow, so it would be good for all seasons. It has 5 blades and an excellent rustic bronze finish. And not only that it comes with a remote control and light kit included (with a 40 watt maximum bulb wattage.
I've only seen this fan installed in a couple of locations, one was a restraurant that had them lined up down the ceiling covering the whole dining area, looked really great. If you have one of these ceiling fans installed in your home I'd be really interested on your opinions of it as well, so feel free to drop me a line below and let me know what you think of your Solstice. You can find more information on Harbor Breeze ceiling fans all through out our site. This fan typically for about $239.00 from Lowes.

Well I don’t have one but it is a very nice looking fan.
I just purchased the Solstice fan for my living room and I absolutely love it. I love the design, color and that it hangs about 2 foot down from the ceiling. It is pretty much the focal point in the room. However, there were no intructions in the box when I purchased it, and we cannot figure out how to get the globe off of the light so we can change the bulb. Can you help with that?
The globe, while snugly fit, will turn. Simply hold the globe with both hands and firmly twist in a counter clockwise direction. Hope this helps.
Can you go into just a little more detail about your statement that “The Harbor Breeze Solstice is not an outdoor ceiling fan.” We purchased one in Jan 2009 and the box says, “UL Listed for Damp Locations” and “Damp: Indoor/Outdoor enclosed porches.” Thank you.
Hiya John:
Actually the Solstice is a fan that’s rated “Damp”, you are correct. But there is a big difference in a fan being rated “damp” versus “wet”. You can see more of that here where I talked about outdoor ceiling fans.
The Harbor Breeze Solstice is a beautiful ceiling fan, but not one that I would necessarily want to get wet. Yeah, you could use it outdoors since it is rated damp but would definitely need to be in a covered type area where it wouldn’t catch anything direct from the elements. Typically when I talk and think about outdoor ceiling fans it’s more along the lines of the ones that can get “wet”, talking something a little bit more than the morning dew here. I guess I should rephrase that to say that it is rated damp and one that could be used outdoors in a covered area, but if it was me personally buying one and putting it in an outdoor area I would go with one that’s rated wet as you just never know what could happen as it could occur from something that’s not even from a force of nature so to speak. But if you have a sun room or porch that’s covered this fan could work.
By the way, have you installed it yet? How’s the fan working for you? I’d love to hear your thoughts on it.
Hello,
I purchased one of these fans for my bedroom. It goes well with the Caribbean style bedroom suite I have. However, I cannot get the remote to work correctly. The light works with the remote, but the fan comes on at high speed and I cannot get the remote to turn the fan off or change the speed. I can turn the light on & off.
I am going to check for a ph number in the instruction booklet tomorrow to see if someone can help with why this fan won’t change speeds. I have the fan motor connected to my black wire, the white wires all connected to my white (common), the grounds are all connected and the light kit was connected to my red. Now I ahve them all on the black. I’ve tried several variations and none work.
Any thoughts?
do they make a down rod mount for wet rated bay breeze fan model #355-7005 a 52 ” ceiling fan
