The Widespan 100 in ceiling fan relies on size to move air in high volume and rotates at lower speeds than smaller ceiling fans. This effective and efficient distribution of air is perfect for large commercial and residential spaces. Ideal for warehouses, gymnasiums, storage facilities, workshops, high ceiling great rooms, larger living areas and lofts. Ensuring exceptional energy saving performance and smooth, quiet functionality, the brushed nickel Widespan features a high quality DC motor and for convenience, a 6-speed remote control. This 100 in, 8-blade industrial ceiling fan must be hung with the blades at least 10 feet from the floor.
