Both the speed and direction of the fan can be controlled without getting up, as can the lights, but you can also just use the included pull chain if you prefer.

At a width of 48 inches, they provide a quiet cooling for bedrooms, offices, breakfast nooks, and other areas up to 100 square feet, though if you have a larger space to work with, you may want a three-blade fan in a larger size.
