Overview and Dimensions
The Windmill - 72 Inch Ceiling Fan is engineered for expansive indoor spaces, featuring a substantial 72-inch blade span that delivers optimal air circulation. This fan measures 18.50 inches in height from the ceiling to the motor hub when installed with the supplied 6-inch down rod, and the blade drop height is 13.50 inches. Installation requires a minimum ceiling height of 8 feet to ensure safe mounting, and it supports vaulted ceilings up to 25 degrees with an 18-inch down rod (a 45° adapter is available separately). Optional down rods can extend up to 48 inches for customized ceiling height accommodation.
Motor and Performance
Powered by a robust and energy-efficient DC motor model DC-165L, this ceiling fan offers six forward and reverse speeds to precisely control airflow and comfort levels. The motor operates quietly and is backed by a limited lifetime warranty, underscoring its durability and reliability. At the highest speed, the fan achieves an impressive airflow of 2,826 CFM while consuming only 37 watts, demonstrating excellent energy efficiency.
Blade Design and Material
The fan's distinctive windmill-inspired design includes 15 rustic blades finished in Weathered Oak, crafted from aluminum for durability and lightweight performance. Each blade is pitched at 30 degrees to maximize airflow and enhance the fan’s visual appeal, complementing farmhouse, industrial, and transitional décor styles. The galvanized finish option highlights the rustic aesthetic.
Control and Operation
A full-function handheld remote control is included, enabling convenient adjustment of the six fan speeds in both forward and reverse directions. Seasonal blade direction settings optimize comfort and energy savings: counterclockwise rotation for cooling in summer and clockwise rotation to circulate warm air during winter months.
Lighting and Additional Features
This model does not include a light kit; however, compatible light kits are available separately to customize lighting options. The fan is UL listed for indoor use and is offered in three finishes: Black, Oiled Bronze, and Galvanized, providing versatile styling choices for various interior environments.
