Anyone has experience with short and long pipe fans? I roughly measured the fans at home now are the "long pipes" dimension, its the KDK metal blades. It does show some shadows on the upper side of the walls. There's one unit of Sensa 4 short pipe, which doesn't have the shadow on the upper side of the walls (its the same room size).
So what are the cons of going short pipe? Pros is that I can reduce the shadows, cons? Wind power and all? The Sensa 4 was damn powerful though. Ceiling height is 10.5'

Per my intuition (I have no education, mind) short pipe leaves less room between fan blades and ceiling ---> less air intake ---> less wind. |

Oh my gawt, people. Always always ALWAYS opt for the long pipe versions (unless circumstances don't permit).
Was using a long pipe Panasonic 5 blade (forgot the model number, but it had the number 14). It was obviously longer down the ceiling than my new fan. Very capable of wind delivery. Problem was, it was noisy. Not good for bedroom use. Also, it was rated at 70W at max speed. Wasteful, energy wise.
Switched to a DC motor KDK K15YX. They didn't have the long pipe version in store, so I went with a short pipe. The minute I put it to use, I was very appalled by the lack of wind. I attribute that to less air intake because if the short pipe, though it's worth mentioning this is a different blade design (the least ugly I could have found).
I feel like the lesser air intake negates the supposed energy savings I should have been enjoying. :-/
