Hanging a 52" ceiling fan in a college dorm using a swag light kit and heavy-duty command hooks is not recommended. Ceiling fans are much heavier and require more secure mounting than swag lights, and command hooks may not provide the necessary support and stability.
Ceiling fans need to be properly installed using appropriate hardware to ensure safety and prevent accidents. Using command hooks designed for hanging lightweight items like pictures and small decorations might not be able to handle the weight and motion of a ceiling fan. Attempting to hang a heavy ceiling fan with command hooks could lead to damage to the ceiling, the fan, or worse, cause the fan to fall, posing a safety risk to people below.
If you wish to have a ceiling fan in your college dorm, you should consult the college's housing department or facilities management to inquire about their policies and available options for installing a ceiling fan safely. In most cases, dormitories have specific rules and regulations about what can and cannot be installed, and they may have guidelines for approved contractors who can handle such installations.
If a ceiling fan is not permitted or feasible in your dorm, consider using alternative cooling methods such as a tower fan or a tabletop fan that can be placed on a desk or shelf. Always prioritize safety and follow the guidelines set by the college or university to ensure a comfortable and hazard-free living space.
