Minka Group Company F518-BN Flush Mount, 3 Silver / Pewter Blades Ceiling fan with 100 watts light, Brushed Nickel Review

With included optional light fixture (polished nickel shown; view larger).

The Minka-Aire F518 44-inch Concept II flush mount ceiling fan is ideal for low ceilings with a total hanging depth of 10-1/2 inches, with or without the light. Simple in style yet ingenious by design, this hugger fan is housed in a sleek metal body finished in brushed nickel with three silver blades. It’s also available in oil rubbed bronze, polished nickel, and white finishes.

With a blade sweep of 44-inches, the three concave silver blades are pitched at 14-degrees for efficient air movement. Excluding the lights, the F518 has an airflow CFM of 4600 using 40 watts of electricity. The airflow efficiency per watt is 115 CFM. And the 153mm x 15mm spinner motor completes 184/86 rpm on high/low speeds.

The optional integrated light is shielded by a frosted glass lens, and the fixture uses one 100-watt mini-can halogen bulb (included). If you choose not to use the light, a coordinating solid cap is included.

With cap on (view larger).

This Minka-Aire ceiling fan comes with the RC212 handheld AireControl remote system, which features a three-speed fan control in forward and reverse — making it suitable for year-round use. With the reverse switch, in the winter you are able to move heat from your ceiling and circulate throughout your living area. In the summer you will save energy by the recirculation of air from the outside into your room and also, if your air conditioning is used, save on energy costs. In addition, the remote features on/off switching plus a full range light dimmer with independent up/down light control and is operable at distances of 40-feet. The remote includes one 12V battery and wall holder.
