I've never heard of a DC ceiling fan, but.. AC-Alternating current. Electricity flows through a circuit in one direction, then changes direction and goes back the other way. This happens 60 times per second in the US. (60Hz) The US power distribution system is AC. DC-Direct Current. Electricity flows through a circuit in only one direction continuously. Batteries powering a flashlight, for example, are DC. Well, all batteries are DC. Like I said, I've never heard of a DC ceiling fan, but the DC fan's motor is designed to run on DC (such as batteries) only, and the AC fan motor is designed to run on AC only. I have heard however of a solar powered attic ventilator, which would be a DC fan. If there is a DC ceiling fan, however, keep in mind it needs a power source, and you won't be able to hook it up to the electrical box in the ceiling. That box is AC. The power source for a DC ceiling fan is likely replaceable batteries or solar cells, neither of which will make for a very robust fan.

Depending on the circumstance and the type of fan either voltage could be used. In a computer DC is used. Home cooling fan AC is used.

Ceiling fans do not produce current they use current. The type of current that a ceiling fan uses is alternating current.

Can you get ceiling fans with regular light bulbs?

Probably not without a lot of hunting. The manufactures of ceiling fans have begun selling the candelabra type bulb that will become mandatory. Why is it mandatory? Don't know! It seems to burn hotter and give fewer lumens per watt than the old standards. If you are replacing old ceiling fans with new, the original fixtures can be detached when you take down the old fans. They will fit onto the new fans, which will allow you to keep the old fixtures.
