Hello - We would like to install a ceiling fan in our den which is
approx. 15 x 8. The problem we have is the ceilings are low, approx.
7.5 ft. and maybe lose another inch or so due to carpeting. My
question is can we safely install a ceiling fan with a ceiling that
low. Of course we would not be able to attach a light fixture to it,
but we would make up for that with some end table lamps in the room.
I understand there are certain types of "low Profile" ceiling fans,
but didn't know if these were for this kind of situation. I guess, is
there some standard height we should ensure the fan does not go below
to be safe or in compliance with any type of code. Thanks for all
your help. Regards.

Yes, there are -- we've got some in a renovated sunroom. Ours came from
Home Depot. You should find info on the side of the box that shows whether
fans can be flush-mounted -- without a downrod -- to provide maximum
clearance.

We had ours installed to be used with remote controls. In retrospect, we
would have preferred they be controlled by a wall switch --
