How Architects Choose Outdoor Ceiling Fans With Lights

Architects and home builders are skilled at selecting the right materials for any project. When it comes to durability, longevity, efficiency, effectiveness, and, of course, style, they look for the following features in higher-end models of outdoor ceiling fans with lights:

Climate

What sort of environment is the house in? If the home experiences extreme conditions like high temperatures, high humidity, and salty air, you need a fan that’s built to withstand consistently rough weather. It needs to take the burning and keep on turning. 

Material

Hot, humid climates and salt-intensive environments are relentless tyrants on materials like untreated wood and lesser-grade metals. The professionals always opt for the most durable materials like marine-grade aluminum, stainless steel, composite, and treated bamboo. (This goes for both exterior parts, like the airfoils, and interior components, such as the motor.) The more durable the materials, the more likely the fan will function efficiently and effectively for years—and decades—of consistent use.

Fan Size and Style

Homeowners want to feel good and look good. The world’s best outdoor ceiling fans are available in the latest modern designs, colors, and sizes to match the size of the patio area and the style of the home. Remember, size matters when it comes to ensuring adequate airflow, so be sure the right fan width is optimized for the space.

Light Features

LED lights are the most energy-efficient and long-lasting option for ceiling fans. You can opt for warm white (2700K to 3000K) for a cozy feel or cool white (3500K to 4000K) for better task lighting. You can even choose dimmable lights to set the mood for any occasion. 

Practical Features

• Remote Control—Adjust the speed, lights, timers, and other options conveniently from afar with smart control features that put the power of comfort in the palm of your hand.
• Smart Home Integration—Control the fan and light via voice commands or smartphone apps for added convenience.
• Eco Efficiency—Optimize your fan’s power consumption and performance by balancing airflow and energy use.
• Sensors—Monitor humidity levels, temperature, motion, and more with built-in sensors that automatically adjust airflow to deliver the most efficient, effective comfort possible.

Keep in mind that proper installation and ongoing maintenance are essential for any ceiling fan to operate optimally for the long term. We recommend hiring a professional to ensure the best possible performance and safety.
