MULE Swag Plug-in Ceiling Fan vs 20 in. Plug-In Ceiling Fan with Light

Buy the MULE if the fan goes anywhere rain can reach it: it is fully wet-rated, mounts to a ceiling bracket or downrod, and moves far more air. Buy the LumoraHaus if you need light from the same fixture and the spot stays covered and dry, since it adds a bright dimmable LED and a reversible six-speed motor. The MULE is the tougher outdoor build; the LumoraHaus is the more versatile indoor or covered-porch fixture.

• Choose the MULE if the fan will hang where rain and weather hit it directly, or if you want a standard ceiling bracket and downrod mount.
• Choose the LumoraHaus if you need a light in the same fixture and the fan will hang under a roof, on a porch, in a gazebo or in a garage.
