16 Foot HVLS Ceiling Fan | 8 Blades | 12,750 Square Foot Coverage | 92298 CFM
This 16 foot HVLS ceiling fan is a strong choice for large, open commercial and industrial spaces needing broad, consistent air movement, thanks to its eight aluminum blades, 0.5 HP gear drive motor, and maximum airflow of 92,298 CFM. Variable speed control via a wall-mounted VFD allows precise adjustment for occupant comfort, while quiet operation below 57 dBA minimizes disruption. Its compatibility with multiple voltages and mounting options - including I-beams, Z-purlins, and open joists - supports flexible installation. Ideal for warehouses, manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, gymnasiums, hangars, and workshops, it requires at least 10 foot ceilings and sufficient structural support.

Product Overview
This is a 16 foot diameter HVLS (High Volume Low Speed) ceiling fan with 8 aluminum blades. It is designed for large, open commercial and industrial spaces where broad air movement is required.
The fan delivers up to 92,298 CFM and is suitable for coverage areas up to 12,750 square feet. It operates with a 0.5 HP gear drive motor and supports variable speed control through a wall-mounted VFD controller.
Sound output is rated below 57 dBA. The fan is available in brushed aluminum, black, blue, or white finishes. The total weight is 140 lbs.
Mounting options include I-Beam, Z-Purlins, and open joist structures. Minimum mounting height is 10 feet, with 3-4 feet of ceiling clearance and at least 2 feet of horizontal clearance required.
Where This Product Fits Best
This HVLS ceiling fan is intended for use in large, open-plan environments such as warehouses, manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, gymnasiums, and aircraft hangars.
It is suitable for spaces where consistent air movement is needed across wide areas and where ceiling heights allow for the required clearances.
The fan is compatible with both single-phase and three-phase power at 208V-240V, 110V-120V, and 460V-480V, making it adaptable to a range of electrical systems found in commercial and industrial buildings.
It is not intended for use in confined or low-ceiling spaces due to its size and clearance requirements.
Performance and Functional Considerations
The 16 foot diameter and 8-blade configuration are designed to move large volumes of air at low rotational speeds, providing broad and even airflow distribution.
Variable speed control is managed through a wall-mounted VFD, allowing adjustment to suit changing conditions or occupant preferences.
The fan operates at a maximum of 44 RPM, balancing airflow output with low noise levels. Sound output remains below 57 dBA during operation.
Aluminum blades provide durability and resistance to corrosion in typical industrial environments. The fan is rated for use in spaces with a minimum mounting height of 10 feet and requires 3-4 feet of ceiling clearance and 2 feet of horizontal clearance from obstructions.
Installation and Long-Term Use
The fan is designed for mounting to I-Beams, Z-Purlins, or open joist structures commonly found in industrial and commercial buildings. The mounting system supports secure installation and long-term stability.
All joined components use dual-method fastening, and safety features include a safety cable, hub clips, hub retainer, and integrated sprinkler shut-off.
The wall-mounted VFD controller provides on/off toggling, speed regulation, and a safety disconnect. The fan requires a minimum of 10 feet from the floor to the blades for safe operation.
Routine inspection of mounting hardware and safety features is recommended to maintain operational safety over time.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
Once installed, the fan is typically set to a speed that matches the comfort or ventilation needs of the space. The wall-mounted VFD controller allows you to adjust speed as needed throughout the day or season.
Operators rely on the fan to maintain air movement in large areas, helping to reduce stagnant air and improve occupant comfort. The low noise output allows for use in environments where communication or low ambient noise is important.
The aluminum blades and industrial-grade construction support continuous operation in demanding environments. The fan can be left running for extended periods without frequent adjustment.
Color options allow the fan to blend with or stand out from the facility's interior, depending on preference or visibility requirements.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
Safety features include a safety cable, hub clips, hub retainer, dual-method fastening, and integrated sprinkler shut-off.
The fan is supplied with a 5-year warranty from LED Lighting Supply.
All safety and operational features are integrated into the fan and controller assembly as described in the specifications.
