Abstract
An apparatus includes a ceiling fan and an accessory. A receiver is adapted to attach to the ceiling fan, and an adaptor for the accessory is provided. The adaptor is adapted to releasably attach to the receiver and fix the accessory in position with respect to the ceiling fan. A dampener may be provided, and receiver may include at least one projection adapted to engage the dampener, thereby inhibiting vibration of the accessory during operation of the ceiling fan. The accessory may also include a gasket, and the receiver may include at least one projection adapted to engage the gasket, thereby at least partially sealing a motor from an environment external to the ceiling fan.
