A 13-inch universal ceiling fan light kit with three candelabra bulbs in a chrome finish, designed to add warm ambient light to your existing Minka Aire fan.
The Minka Aire Excavation light kit brings classic elegance and a warm glow to any pre-existing ceiling fan. Its chrome finish and traditional styling complement a wide range of fan designs, while the chain pull makes operation simple. This easy-to-install kit is perfect for upgrading your fan's lighting without replacing the entire unit.
Best for
- Living rooms and bedrooms with an existing Minka Aire fan that needs additional ambient light
- Spaces where a chain-pull light control is preferred over wall switches
- Traditional or transitional decor settings that pair well with chrome accents
Not ideal for
- Fans from other brands without universal light kit compatibility
- Spaces requiring bright task lighting - this kit provides ambient glow, not high-lumen output
- Damp or wet locations such as bathrooms or covered patios (rated for dry locations only)
How bright is it?
With three 60W candelabra bulbs (not included), this kit can produce up to 2400 lumens total - comparable to a standard 150W incandescent bulb. This provides ample ambient light for most medium-sized rooms, but is not intended as a primary task light.
Light color and feel
The light color depends on the bulbs you choose. For a warm, inviting glow similar to traditional incandescent, use 2700K-3000K LED or CFL candelabra bulbs. The open design allows for even light distribution without harsh shadows.
Sizing and fit
This light kit measures 13.25 inches wide by 6.75 inches tall, fitting most standard ceiling fans with a universal mounting bracket. It weighs 3.41 lbs and is designed for indoor use only.
