tl;dr: Commercial ceiling fan design has devolved into chaos post-pandemic, driven by direct-to-consumer platforms like Wayfair, cheap overseas manufacturing, and the design flexibility (and disposability) of integrated LEDs. The result is a proliferation of bizarre hybrids—"fandeliers," chandefans, tiny flush-mounted fans, and sculptural fixtures where a small plastic fan spins beneath a larger decorative element masquerading as the actual blades. The fan has become a tacked-on appendage rather than an integrated design element, producing cheap fixtures that look strange and can't be repaired when the LEDs die.
