This UL-damp rated ceiling fan is appropriate for indoor and outdoor damp locations, and produces a cooling airflow of 5,580 cubic feet per minute. The fan is ideal for rooms ranging in size from 150 square feet to 300 square feet such as standard bedrooms, living rooms, covered patios, and sunrooms. With nearly 95 ceiling fan variations, these ceiling fans by Fanimation are suitable for any type of installation, including angled and low profile ceiling applications.
