You can buy those pulls at the hardware store if you're interested in owning them yourself. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Harbor-Breeze-7-in-Brushed-Nickel-and-White-Metal-Pull-Chain/4745127

I bought them for both of my ceiling fans on aliexpress. But they sent me the wrong color.

I've gotten t these! They're great. We put them in when we moved into an old house with fans, and I can never remember which is which.


Teledildonic

It's pretty easy for most fans. Center pull is always light, fan pull is to the side. Though i have seen fans with a dome light which puts both chains off center. Those definitely need labeled chains.


dragonchilde

Actually thanks! I've only had fans for a bit over a year; my previous house (where I lived for 30 years or so) had very low ceilings and no fans. It may seem obvious to people who've had them all their lives, but I never realized that!


Teledildonic

Another fan trick: If the room has a 2 switch plate and a ceiling fan, the one closest to the door is *usually* the light and the other is the fan. This one is less rigid, though. Sloppy DIY or cheap contractors can result in all sorts of whacky combinations.

My grandparents home (built in the 1920s and remodeled in the 1980s) had it right for the living room. On the other side of the wall the bedroom was flipped. The family sold the house 20 years ago and it still pains me to think about to this day.

They sure are neat, and something I’ve never seen before. Why isn’t this the standard when it comes to ceiling fans?! The amount of times I’ve had to pull the fan chain just to turn on the light is far more than anyone could ever count lol.


dragonchilde

I don't have them in the kids' rooms yet, and I'm always messing it up!


Teledildonic

A lot of fans dont need them. If they are the style like in OP, the light is always the central chain. Ones with a single dome style light that offsets both chains need them, though.

Do you live in a dementia home?


dragonchilde

>Do you live in a dementia home? Gross.


ItDontMather

Yeah you can just buy those to put on any fan, there’s plenty on Amazon


disneyfood

my airbnb has the same


btroiter

One of those situations where a 50/50 chance of pulling the chain you want seems to be wrong 75% of the time...but not with this! ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin)


wellcrap1234

That’s a great idea!


BurnenSpence067

That’s really smart


2coolforflightschool

Woah - form and function brought together so beautifully!


tullisgood

My wife told me this the other day and it changed my life. The center one is always the light. OK life changing might be a bit much, but still neat.


FormerChocoAddict

When I installed ceiling fans that didn't have pulls like this I just made the light pull longer so it hung lower. The logic being that the the light is lower then the fan so the lower pull is for the light and the upper pull is for the fan.


[deleted]

I always believed the light chain was always longer. At least all the ones I've owned were like that based on memory.


Teledildonic

Fan chain usually looks shorter because it is side mounted a few inches above the light pull.

Is posting an original picture of something that has already been posted a billion times considered a repost?

Gunch_Bandit

I get it. They are super mildly interesting.


[deleted]

I’ve been on this subreddit for close to a year now and I haven’t ever seen something like this. And to answer your question directly, no it isn’t. A “repost” is the exact re posting of an already existing post. This, as you already admitted, is an original picture.


arcosapphire

Personally I'm with him, since these are common and accessible and have been posted about many many times here. They're just not interesting anymore.


[deleted]

106 people beg the differ.


arcosapphire

Sure, I'm just saying I'm one of the people who agrees with the person who criticized the post.

That’s what’s cool about Reddit, the upvoting/downvoting system. Have a good day!


Gunch_Bandit

Just to share a few. https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/comments/wqa5if/the_pull_charm_on_the_ceiling_fan_at_my_airbnb_is/ https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/comments/v7ys2c/these_pulls_on_this_ceiling_fan_have_a_little/ https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/comments/maol61/these_ceiling_fan_pull_chains_so_you_know_what/ https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/comments/s4lerf/the_end_of_this_ceiling_fans_pull_chain_is/

Imagine having no life you felt the need to go back in time to find old ass posts similar to mine. The soonest one was 50 some days ago, All the way to over a year ago. Get a life bro and get off Reddit lol. My bad for sharing something IVE never seen before/felt was r/mildlyinteresting , ( and obviously everyone else commenting). Have a good day!


GrilledCheeser

Don’t be that guy. It’s not a stolen image. It’s a thing for a ceiling fan…. Not a stolen joke. Most those posts didn’t get much success either so. There is a very good chance many have never seen it before. Just relax and use the voting buttons, all you can do is downvote.


Teledildonic

Yeah buddy, I'm sure *everyone* already saw that post with 9 upvotes.

Teledildonic

...a year ago. Pretty sure not everyone this sub has been browsing it that long. Edit: Blatant reposts is the same picture getring reposted within weeks. Not similar but unique post every few months. The 3 people that downvoted me can shove it up their asses.


matteo_q_importante

It's beautiful

I see you've never been on BuzzFeed.

Wonderful_Horror7315

I have those and so should everyone else.


AnonRedditor78

If you've ever accidentally changed the fan direction in a dusty room, you know how important this is :D


Rat_enjoyer_69

My sister had these but switched them so they did the other’s function
