BTW - Rejuvenation has $100 off for purchases over $500. Ends today Apr 6. I bought 3 Otis lights to put over the bathroom mirror. They're porch lights, but should work. atomicbowler – thanks for the information. BTW – Rejuvenation has $100 off for purchases over $500. Ends today Apr 6.

Might check that first. Don't know if it would impact your situation, but I have seen a number of older installations (late 40's/early 50's as retrofits in older homes (1920's, etc.) where the "duct" was actually the deadspace in the overhead between two joists. YIKES! I've never heard of a grease fire up in one of those, but they scare me silly worrying about that...if I had a setup like I just described, I'd stick a plenum up in there and run a muffin fan, hiding the mess with the original grille. Just a thought. Dave PS-We have a fan, but it just means the grease sticks to the overhead ceiling and everything on the way there. 6 to one, 1/2 to the other, maybe! Hey, Nancy–
