Hampton Bay Hawkins Ceiling Fan Review

The Hampton Bay Hawkins ceiling fan is a 44-inch fan looks like it was designed specifically to work in those flat low-ceiling bedrooms.  This is definitely one of those indoor ceiling fans that uses a newer developed twist-and-lock type installation components. That is, you're not fiddling with those downrods on this one trying to get the right sized downrod so it hangs comfortably at the distance from the ceiling that you prefer. In fact, this ones made for those low ceilings so that it can hug it up close and tight. Perfect fit for those rooms that have 8-foot ceilings, plus the price is right at only around $70.

Speaking of the twist-and-lock feature, what you'll find is that it actually gives the fan a more appealing look than what you'll typically find on traditional hugger type fans. Plus without having to mess with those downrods you should find the installation pretty much a breeze on this one, just don't loose your cool running the pull chains if you are going to install this yourself. It can get a little tricky and you need to make sure the right chains go thru the right holes, but it's not that hard and you can do it. I have done some searching around do see that there has been problems with the pull chains not working. But you can fix that as well if it doesn't work for you simply by removing 3 or 4 of the beads used in the speed pull chain of the Hampton Bay Hawkins ceiling fan inside the housing as that seems to be what everybodies problem has been as to why it wouldn't switch speeds. Haven't ran across that myself, but should work and does from what they all have been saying.

There are some solid plus's with this ceiling fan as well. The rubber wall mount that comes with the fan is a savior in making the fan "wiggle" free. You won't see this fan appearing to wobble at any speed you choose to run it on.  Plus it is whisper quiet. If you do hear some noise it's probably because some of the internal wires are rubbing on the motor. Check it before you finish the installation by turning it all on at all of the different speeds. If you still hear a noise, adjust the wiring inside and try it again. You shouldn't hear much of anything on this model.

Now down to the aesthetics.  The Hampton Bay Hawkins comes with 5 reversible blades, one side has kind of a distressed look while the other is more of a natural oak. So you can choose which side you'd like and simply install the blades that way. Want a more antiquey look, go with the distressed. Plus it comes with a very visual appealing half bowl light fixture, a Venetian Scavo glass, fancy name for smoked glass if you ask me that gets a little darker at the edges that takes 3x40 watt chandelier type bulbs. There has been quite a few complaints about the lighting on this model but I kinda believe that they've got to be taken with a grain of salt so to speak. Probably the room was to large or ceiling to high, get the fan for what it was designed for, smaller rooms with low ceilings and you probably won't have the lighting issue to deal with. I mean your only using 3x40 watt candelabra type bulbs here so the rooms shouldn't be that big where you are needing light. Oh, and you'll need to buy these lights extra to as they do not come with the fan itself. So if you want light, get some bulbs, and remember all bulbs are not created equal.

Overall this is a great little Hampton Bay fan. If you have the right sized room with low ceilings and want something that's going to look a little bit classy but not too much, maybe something for a guest room or older kids room, this would be a good fan to do the job.

Hi

Can you please tell me where I can by a hampton bay 52 inch dale tiffeny morsbey ceiling fan? They no longer have at home depot and we would like to buy one.
Thank you,

Hey Andrew,
Unfortunately, with them not being available any more from Home Depot it’s going to be a little difficult picking one up. There may be a few places around the internet keeping some in stock and plus, you could also check out ebay if you’re comfortable with that. Discontinue’s are kind of hard to get your hands on at time. If you search for them online though try “Hampton Bay 52 Dale Tiffany Moresby” and you might get some more/better results.

Andrew,

There’s one on eBay right now. Auction ends July 21st. Item # 150359012740. Good luck!

Hi:

Just had this fan installed; looks great but yes, is way way way too dim. How do I change the bulbs? Do I unscrew the bottom of the globe and then the globe itself?? Instruction guide gave no instruction. Also, the pull chain to the fan already broke off. Yikes! (It’s okay , I also have wall swtich I would use anyway.) Many thanks, Susan C

Hey Andrew,

Summer Williams August 27, 2009 at 2:53 pm

Ceiling Fan Man,
If you have Andrew’s email and can pass this on I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Summer: Sorry I cannot give out an email address, it goes against my privacy policy and I don’t want to violate that. Hopefully Andrew will come back around and see your email in your comment.

Ceiling Fan Man,
Any idea where I can get a replacement light bowl for this model? With the 2 chains that go thru it, I can’t use a standard light bowl, and I don’t want to have to replace a 6 mo old fan because some inconsiderate tenant threw a shoe at it.
Thanks!
Elia

Summer Williams September 3, 2009 at 5:44 pm

I just meant pass on the message. Sorry, I was not asking for the email. Thanks anyways!

Ceiling Fan Man September 9, 2009 at 3:38 pm

Since Hampton Bay is sold solely through Home Depot you might check there for the replacement globes. There may be a few around online that deal with replacement parts for Hampton Bay fans, but sometimes better to stick with where there made.

Ceiling Fan Man September 9, 2009 at 3:39 pm

No problem.

Gabriel Alonzo September 15, 2009 at 5:05 am

We would like to flush mount a fan on a beam that is only 7 inches wide. Do you know the dimensions on the fan canopy and if this will fit?
If it doesn’t, do you have any other suggestions for a fan with small canopy that will work with a low ceiling? Thanks.

I purchased 3 of the Hampton Bay Hawkins 44 inch and really like them but they are extremely dim not enough light, I tried putting clear lights in but not much better. Can the light kit be replaced with one that puts out more light??? I really hope so because not only do I really like them but thay are installed already! If not able to exchange light kits I will have to return them for something with better lighting! Hope you can help!

Hi own a Hampton Bay Hawkins 44 inch, and the glass globe broke. Do you know if I can purchase a new globe for the lamp and how?

Jamie April 21, 2010 at 1:06 am

I purchased the Hawkins 44in but it does not show how to connect to a 3 wire. Any ideas

Ed Robles July 29, 2010 at 1:20 pm

ut you can fix that as well if it doesn’t work for you simply by removing 3 or 4 of the beads used in the speed pull chain of the Hampton Bay Hawkins ceiling fan inside the housing as that seems to be what everybodies problem has been as to why it wouldn’t switch speeds. Haven’t ran across that myself, but should work and does from what they all have been saying.

HOW DO GO ABOUT DOING THIS??????????

Hi there, we installed 2 of these Hawkins fans in our kids’ rooms… one we installed and the second our home builder’s workers installed. We used a wireless transmitter for the light switch as it wasn’t wired for both a fan and light switch (this was our best bet for kids to be able to control both from the switch).

Anyway, my daughters’ was making a scraping noise, (we did not install this one) my assumption was that they did not secure the transmitter and it was scraping against the motor. I took the light assembly and blades off, and can look up into the motor housing to see that I was right… it is loose and scraping. However, I cannot for the life of me get the motor housing off. At first I thought it was a strength issue and wanted to wait for my husband to try, but I went into my son’s room and sure enough that housing comes off without hardly any effort.

It seems as though it is jammed somehow, and I can’t figure out any way to get it off… I am hoping you may have some ideas???? I am completely out of them. I don’t care if I have to find a replacement housing (or even a new fan at this point- can you tell I am frustrated???) I just want to fix it so that we don’t have a hazard and ruin the $50 transmitter!

Thank you for your time!

Marie
