Ceiling fans use less electricity on low speed than they do on medium and high speed. Capacitors are used to control the various fan speeds. The capacitor limits the amount of electricity supplied to the fan motor. When less electricity is sent to the windings in the motor, the fan spins at a lower RPM. The result is a slower speed and less airflow. However, some fans move almost no air at low speeds, so it is important to know what the CFM/watts is for the ceiling fan in question so you can compare the performance at any given speed relative to the amount of electricity used

What is the hardest and cheapest metal on the earth that can conduct electricity?
All metals tend to conduct electricity. For the cheapest but hardest I would suggest high speed steel (HSS). It's not the hardest or the cheapest but is a good compromise.
How far down from ceiling do you hang a fan if ceiling is 11 feet high?
The same height as the downrod is. Don't buy a low profile or flush mount ceiling fan, because these are specially designed for places where the ceiling is less than eight feet high. I would suggest you buy a traditional ceiling fan or a industrial ceiling fan. Industrial ceiling fans are specially designed for high and big places.

What is high bay lighting?
As the name suggests, high ceiling lights are used to illuminate high ceiling spaces. This usually means that the ceiling ranges from 20 feet to about 45 feet. Relatively speaking, low ceiling lights are used for ceilings of 20 feet and below. Because there is more space to fill in the high ceiling position, the high ceiling is by definition a powerful light source that can illuminate large areas.
