Hunter 82042 Energy Star Bathroom Fan with Light, White

This fan is very quiet, but the description is bad, design is fair, and looks are fair.

- There is no way to turn off the night light. I assumed it would turn off when it was light in the room, but it does not.

I tried looking on Amazon and those sites that have 1000's of light bulbs to no avail. For my purposes, this product is a big disappointment and has caused much annoyance. Right now I'm just hoping...Read more
