16 Foot HVLS Ceiling Fan | 5 Blades | 6,400 Square Foot Coverage

Product Overview

This is a 16-foot diameter HVLS (High Volume Low Speed) ceiling fan with five aluminum blades. The fan is designed for large commercial and industrial spaces requiring broad air movement.

It operates on single-phase power and supports both 208V-240V and optional 277V-480V voltage ranges. The fan uses an 800-watt PMSM direct drive motor and includes a wall-mounted VFD controller with remote control capability.

The standard mounting method is I-beam, and a 59-inch downrod is included. Custom downrod lengths are available. The fan is available in black or silver finishes.

Sound output is under 40 dBA during operation. The fan weighs 120 lbs.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fan is suitable for large open areas up to 6,400 square feet. Typical applications include warehouses, manufacturing floors, distribution centers, and sports venues.

It is designed for indoor environments where broad, even air movement is needed to improve comfort and air circulation. The IP57 rating allows use in locations where exposure to dust and water is possible.

The fan is compatible with facilities using 208V-240V power as standard, with an option for 277V-480V systems. The I-beam mounting method is intended for spaces with exposed structural steel.

Performance and Functional Considerations

The 16-foot diameter and five-blade design provide coverage for up to 6,400 square feet. Variable speed control allows adjustment from 25 to 75 RPM to match seasonal or operational needs.

The direct drive PMSM motor delivers efficient, quiet operation with a sound level below 40 dBA. The aluminum blades are lightweight and corrosion-resistant, supporting long-term use in demanding environments.

The wall-mounted VFD controller with remote control provides flexibility for adjusting fan speed and operation from the floor or a central location. The fan draws 2.0 amps at 220V during operation.

The IP57 rating means the fan is protected against dust ingress and can withstand water exposure from limited sources, such as cleaning or humidity.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The fan is designed for I-beam mounting, which is common in commercial and industrial buildings. The standard 59-inch downrod provides clearance for optimal airflow; custom downrod lengths can be specified for unique ceiling heights or obstructions.

At 120 lbs, the fan requires secure mounting and may need two or more personnel for installation. The aluminum blade construction reduces overall weight and simplifies handling during installation.

The direct drive motor reduces maintenance requirements compared to belt-driven systems. The fan is designed for long-term use with a 15-year mechanical warranty, 5-year motor warranty, and 3-year electrical warranty.

Routine inspection of mounting hardware and electrical connections is recommended to ensure continued safe operation.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Once installed, the fan is typically operated using the wall-mounted VFD controller or the included remote control. You can adjust the speed to suit seasonal changes or specific comfort requirements in the space.

The variable speed range allows for gentle air movement during cooler months or higher speeds for increased circulation in warmer conditions. The low sound output means the fan can run during occupied hours without disrupting normal activities.

The IP57 rating allows the fan to be used in areas where dust or occasional water exposure occurs, such as near loading docks or in spaces that require periodic washdown. The aluminum blades and direct drive motor support reliable operation with minimal maintenance.

Custom downrod options allow the fan to be positioned at the correct height for the space, ensuring effective air movement without interfering with overhead equipment or lighting.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fan carries an IP57 rating. It is protected against dust and can tolerate water exposure from limited sources.

The mechanical components are covered by a 15-year warranty. The motor is covered for 5 years, and electrical components are covered for 3 years.

All warranty coverage is provided directly by LED Lighting Supply.
