Our liners are individually designed and fabricated in-house to ensure both quality and fit. Each liner is specially made to complement the design of the vent hood giving the finished piece a consistent, yet unique look. |

We manufacture our own exclusive, dimmable, recessed halogen lights for our range hood inserts. Each light houses a state of the art 120V halogen MR-16 lamp protected by borosilicate glass and matching metal bezel rings. Custom baffle filters are made by hand to ensure quality and longevity. Range hood liner and baffle filters are available in all our standard materials and finishes.
Ventilation
:
Remote Inline Fan
Our Range Hoods are generally equipped with remote inline fans from Fantech FDK series. To visit their page...click here. Fantech offers fan speeds ranging from 483cfm to 2016cfm. Texas Lightsmith prefers the Fantech FKD series due to its compact size, high cfm and low sones.
Internal Fan
If size and shape of the range hood body permit, and other factors do not allow for installation of a remote in-line fan, the ventilation fan can be internally installed in the range hood body.
Exterior Fan
In some instances an exterior fan is required for lack of accessible ducting or size of the range hood body, in which case we typically use the exterior roof or wall mount fans from Broan...learn more. These Broan fans are chosen for their performance and reliability as well as the powder-coated, paint ready housing.
