I have been looking into efficient fans, and Home Depot's
Hampton Bay Windward III looks impressive:

It was developed at the Florida Solar Energy Center.  The main
site, http://www.gossamerwind.com, is down at the moment, but
there's a blurb at:

I really like that it has two circline fluorescents, top and
bottom, but I've only heard about toggling through the on/off
combos with a button on the remote.  If you've used these, can
you wire the two lights to separate wall switches?

Does anyone have experience with these?

Are there any other fans I should check out?

Thanks,
