Reversible Motor Function
The fan features a quiet, 3-speed reversible motor to optimize air circulation year-round. A physical switch on the fan housing allows you to change the direction of the blades.
- Summer Mode (Counter-clockwise): Creates a downward airflow, producing a cooling effect.
- Winter Mode (Clockwise): Creates an upward airflow, circulating warm air trapped near the ceiling.
Image: Illustration demonstrating the reversible motor's function: in winter, it circulates warm air upwards; in summer, it creates a downward breeze for cooling.
Integrated LED Light Kit
The fan includes an integrated 6-inch LED light board providing 19.5 watts and 1600 lumens. The light has a color temperature of 3000K and is dimmable from 10% to 100% via the remote or app.
