The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problems is as follows:

a fan, comprising:

a main body having a plurality of blades;

a lower cover provided with a plurality of buckles and a plurality of mounting positions, the lower cover being connected to the main body, wherein the plurality of buckles and the plurality of mounting positions are arranged around the lower cover; and either of:

a lamp assembly comprising:

a fixing part provided with a plurality of mounting holes, wherein each of the plurality of mounting holes corresponds to one of the mounting positions on the lower cover, the fixing part is connected to the lower cover by a connection device;

a lamp connected to the fixing part;

a lamp cover formed as a hemisphere, the lamp cover being configured to cover the fixing part and

2018100874 26 Jun 2018 an end cover connected to the lower cover for use in case of no illumination needed.

As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the number of the plurality of buckles is 3.

As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the number of the plurality of mounting positions is 3.

As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the connection device is a screw.
