Check the ceiling height before choosing a fan: a longer downrod brings a fan down from a tall ceiling to where its breeze is felt, while a close-to-ceiling mount suits a low room. A fan with a light can stand in for the ceiling light in a bedroom, so the room needs no separate fixture overhead.
Main series
- Maverick: mostly ceiling fans, plus fan accessories.
- Colony: ceiling fans, mostly transitional and otherwise traditional.
- Linden: transitional ceiling fans in bronze, white, black or nickel.
- Era: ceiling fans with 2 lights, mostly modern.
Over a bed or a sofa, a fan on a low setting moves enough air to feel without stirring papers or hair, and a higher setting brings a stronger breeze on a hot afternoon.
Finishes
Fans and accessories come in nickel, white and black, and there are brass and bronze fans as well; white fades into a pale ceiling while black stands out against it.
