8 Foot HVLS Ceiling Fan | 6 Blades | 1,600 Square Foot Coverage

Product Overview

This 8-foot HVLS ceiling fan uses a six-blade aluminum design powered by an 800-watt PMSM direct drive motor. The fan operates at variable speeds from 25 to 120 RPM and covers up to 1,600 square feet. Total fan weight is 47 pounds.

The unit ships with a wall-mounted VFD controller and remote control. Standard voltage is 208V-240V single phase, with 277V-480V available as an optional configuration. The fan draws 1.0 amp at 220V and operates at 50/60Hz frequency.

Where This Product Fits Best

The 1,600 square foot coverage area and 8-foot diameter make this fan appropriate for smaller industrial bays, workshops, retail spaces, fitness studios, and agricultural buildings where larger HVLS units would be oversized. The IP57 rating allows installation in environments exposed to dust accumulation and occasional water contact.

Standard mounting uses an I-beam connection. The included 39-inch downrod positions the fan below typical ceiling obstructions, with custom downrod lengths available for non-standard ceiling heights or structural conditions.

Performance and Functional Considerations

The direct drive PMSM motor eliminates gearbox maintenance and reduces mechanical failure points. Sound output stays below 40 dBA across the operating range, which allows continuous operation in occupied spaces without interfering with communication or concentration.

Variable speed from 25 to 120 RPM provides airflow adjustment for seasonal changes or occupancy variations. The six aluminum blades distribute air movement across the coverage zone while keeping total weight at 47 pounds, reducing structural load requirements compared to larger HVLS installations.

Installation and Long-Term Use

I-beam mounting is standard. The 39-inch downrod accommodates typical ceiling heights, and custom lengths address installations with higher ceilings or obstructions. Single-phase 208V-240V wiring is standard, with 277V-480V configurations available for facilities operating on higher voltage systems.

The wall-mounted VFD controller provides direct speed adjustment at a fixed location, while the included remote control allows adjustments from floor level. The 47-pound total weight simplifies rigging during installation compared to heavier HVLS units.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Operators typically set the fan to lower RPM ranges during cooler months to gently destratify warm air collected at the ceiling without creating noticeable drafts at floor level. During warmer periods, higher speed settings increase perceived airflow across the occupied zone.

The remote control allows speed changes without accessing the wall-mounted controller, which is useful in spaces where the VFD is mounted in a mechanical room or behind a service counter. The sub-40 dBA sound level means the fan can run continuously during business hours in customer-facing environments.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fan carries an IP57 rating. It can withstand dust exposure in industrial environments and temporary immersion in water up to one meter depth. The black aluminum blade construction resists corrosion in humid or damp conditions.

Warranty coverage includes 15 years on mechanical components and 5 years on electrical components.
