I need to install a cieling fan in my kitchen. It would be cinch of a
job if the current kitchen light is where the fan would be installed.
Instead, the kitchen has multiple spot lights around the perimeter.
What is the best way to connect to power short of running a new cable
to the service panel? Thanks.

What if any access do you have to the area above the ceiling?

And what is the switching arrangement desired for the fan vis a vis the
existing lights?

So many questions, so few answers... :)

I have total access to the attic. I think I will just use the fan/
light pull-down switches to control on/off. There will be no need for
wall switch. If worst come to worse I can install a fan with a remote
switch. All I need is a power supply.

Install a fan support box and tap any 15 amp non switched feed you can find
in the attic and wire it into the box. Attic light feed would be fine if
it's on a pull chain
