We're bringing you another great Artika fan/light ceiling light. This, like the others we've shown are from our local Costco. We keep buying fixtures from Artika for the look and the ease of installation.
This latest model is no exception! 
Of the three Artika fans we've purchased, this one by far is the lightest with the most compact box. It's easy to move from shelf to cart to checkout to car.
There is a little more assembly on this ceiling fan, but it's not difficult.
The Artika fan will replace this one that was also purchased some time ago at Costco. There is nothing wrong with it other than it providing very poor lighting. This room is dark and more light was needed.
After removing the old ceiling fan along with the old mount, the mount for this fan was installed.
Take a moment to read through the instructions making sure all the parts are included and are damage free. Everything was accounted for and in perfect condition with our ceiling fan.
It's interesting, the previous two fans we've installed, the Artika Edwin model and the Artika Austin model, both already had the fan blades installed. On the Sunnyvale only one blade is attached but it's easy to attach the other two.
The lighting pieces have letters on the parts to match up. They click together.
Make sure you don't fully tighten the arms otherwise you won't be able to fully complete the light circle. Leave them loose until the pieces are assembled.
Here you can see how those circle lighting pieces connect.
Don't overlook these small flexible pieces that cover the holes in the connectors. They just push into place.
Twist caps come included but we like using these Wago connectors for the wiring.
All the parts have been assembled and now it is time to attach it to the ceiling.
The top of the fan fits snuggly into a matching opening in the mount. It's easy to match up so you know you have gotten it in the proper place.
After the wiring is connected (follow the instructions or engage the services of a professional electrician if you're not confident with this part) put the canopy into place.
With the remote you can change the speed of the fan, the color temperature of the light as well as making it brighter or darker.
That button with the blue and red arrows is to reverse the direction of the fan. Blue for colder months and red for the hotter months.
It's nice and bright and clean looking.
We've installed numerous Artika lighting fixtures including three ceiling fans. You can find all those installations on our YouTube page, just search "Artika" to find them. We've been very pleased with each one of them.
