Like satellites orbiting a planet, the Brisa''s select mahogany blade head and lunar counterweight gently revolve about its spherical gear housing. The fan head can be infinitely positioned in a 180-degree arc for optimum air movement; the greater the angle of the motor to the horizontal support rods (up or down), the faster the axial rotation. A slow, controlled axial rotation is achieved by both fan head position and fan blade speed.Features: Matthews rotational fans circulate heat and air conditioning more efficiently than traditional paddle fans.Constructed of cast aluminum, heavy spun and stamped steel, this fan carries a limited lifetime warranty.Each unique motor mount and fan head knob is made of genuine marbleized Bakelite.Decora-style 3-speed wall switch in white.Includes 10" field cuttable downrod.
