This question is from Tara:
I'm on the hunt for a product that may not even exist...but figured you might be a good source to ask. I'm looking for a lightweight ceiling fan that installs with adhesive and no permanent wiring...like the Valo track lighting systems or the temporary window shades that already exist.

Our old house is a challenge to wire and to install onto plaster, so we've got Valo track lights in several rooms and would love that kind of solution to help move heat from our wood stove through the house.

 
 

We've done a quick bit of research and are coming up empty handed. Hmmm... it's a toughie. Anyone?

Never seen anything like that, and I'm not sure I'd want to.. Sounds like an accident waiting to happen!

Ceiling fan doesn't make sense... Ecofan does

There's no such thing. If anything, you'll need to attach the ceiling fan onto a housing so that it won't fall. I'm already terrified enough with a ceiling fan on top of me while living in southern california!
