Westinghouse Lighting Widespan Indoor Ceiling Fan
Create comfort in large spaces with this 100 in. industrial ceiling fan featuring an energy-efficient DC motor.
Widespan Ceiling Fan is Perfect for Large Work and Living Areas, Workshops, Lofts and Great Rooms
|
|
|
---|---|---|
The brushed nickel Widespan ceiling fan with 8 blades relies on size to move air in high volume, while it rotates at lower speeds than smaller ceiling fans. It creates significant air circulation for cooling large commercial, industrial and residential spaces. High-quality DC motor ensures exceptional energy-saving performance, and smooth, quiet functionality. The 6-speed remote control makes it a breeze to operate. |
Summer Mode - In the Summer, Westinghouse ceiling fans keep you pleasantly cool. Run your ceiling fan counterclockwise in the Summer to set air in motion. Winter Mode - In the Winter, Westinghouse ceiling fans can be reversed to rotate in the clockwise direction. As a result, the warm air that collects near the ceiling is distributed evenly throughout the room, eliminating cold spots and drafts. |
Meant for cooling larger work and living spaces, such as workshops, lofts and high ceiling great rooms, Industrial ceiling fans must be hung at least 10 feet above the floor. Down Rod Only (Industrial Fan) This ceiling fan must be installed with the included down rod during installation. It can also be installed with an extension down rod (sold separately). |

So I wanted to hook up a ten-foot (10') downrod to this thing, 'cause I've got a two-story, vaulted ceiling I'm working with. I did it and it works just fine--and it didn't even cost me that much. I bought a ten-foot 3/4" galvanized steel "structural pipe" from Lowe's. Cost me like $25. I am 99% certain it's made from the same factory that makes downrods. Looks identical. Same beveled edges and everything (it's not threaded). I had to drill a 1/4" hole through it in both sides, for the retaining pins. The center of the hole is 1/2" from the end of the pipe (the one closer to the fan is *maybe* a hair closer--pay attention to this, 'cause you've got less room to work with here--the top one, connected to the ball/bracket, won't really matter if it's off a little).
I then had to extend the wiring. The inverter is up in the canopy, so it's not just a matter of extending the AC wiring--you gotta cut into their custom wiring for the DC & control stuff. Wheeeeee always fun to cut the wires on the $600 fan you just bought. I'm sure this will void the warranty. You're probably voiding the warranty just reading about it. Don't try this at home. Only a madman would do this. Anyway, I cut the wires, then spliced and soldered some 10' extensions. There are five wires. Three are 18 gauge, two are 22 gauge. I bought some wire from Amazon, was around $25. I already had some heat-shrink, but would've just covered it with electrical tape if I hadn't. Remember to slip the heat shrink on *before* you solder the wires!
Just to be on the safe side, I also extended the steel safety cable. I bought some steel rope (thought it was the same size, but I think it was actually a size smaller than what's already on the fan) and some loops, aluminum crimps, and crimping pliers. I'm confident the cable would support my weight if I hung from it, so I figure the fan is fine.
I was nervous when I got it hung and wired. It was a huge pain in the butt. Very heavy. I'm lucky I had some scaffolds to work on and a forgiving and very helpful partner.
The blades are relatively easy to install. The instruction manual doesn't tell you this, but the bolts and nuts are all 10mm. The manual also doesn't tell you where the flat washers go. It also doesn't tell you how many of each part you have, the little crescent gaskets it shows are *not* included, and it doesn't tell you wrench sizes for anything. You'll notice that in the questions for this product, someone asked where the flat washers go, and the seller was all like, "iT's iN tHe mAnUaL"
Yeah, it's not. I've included a pic of the only page showing the blade installation here, along with the bolts and washers you're given, and obviously, the manual doesn't show you anything of the sort. The bracket that the blades attach to is steel, so I figured the split washer would be okay against it, and used the flat washers underneath the blade, between the blade and the nut. It seems to have worked fine and feels pretty secure. I secured mine using a 10mm wrench on top and a 10mm ratchet socket on the bottom.
When you're putting the blades on, start with the single bolt furthest from the center of the fan. Drop the bolt in from the top, press the blade up against the bracket, then place the flat washer and nut and hand-tighten them. This gives some "leverage" to the blade, so you don't have to keep holding it, and the other two can be relatively easily placed, then you can tighten all of 'em with a wrench & ratchet or whatever.
I did opposite blades each time, so the thing didn't get too off-kilter or something.
I also tested it after installing the first two, in case I had borked the wiring somehow. Thankfully, it worked great.
This thing is really quiet. Amazingly so. I like it.
The remote feels like a cheap piece of garbage you'd get from the Dollar Tree or something. I plan to yoink the rf codes and set up an rf repeater with Home Assistant, so I can tell Alexa to turn the fan on. My wife will think that's cool.
Anyway, it works well. It was expensive, but feels pretty decent. I'm happy with the ten-foot downrod (it's a slightly different color of metal than brushed nickel--sorta blue-ish--but it doesn't bug me too much) (note--Lowe's also sells this stuff in black, if you wanted to get the black version of this fan--not sure if the blacks would match, but it's black, so unless you're Tom Haverford, you probably won't notice (if you get that reference, I love you)). It moves a LOT of air--I could feel it even on the lowest setting. You'll see the paper lanterns in the pic (hey, sue me--they were cheap--have you priced lighting lately?); they get blown around a little, which is mildly annoying. Even on its highest setting, I can't hear it, but it's moving air like crazy. Pretty awesome.
Good stuff.

I searched for months for an appropriate replacement. I read all of the reviews on anything that came close to what we were looking for. There always seemed to be some technical anomaly that would show up or the observation that the fan just didn't move enough air for its size. Then I came across this Westinghouse Industrial fan (7224900). It was sleek, it was the right color for me and it had a blade span of 100". I tried to find some kind of exception from reviewers, but the only complaint I could find was related to the lightweight cheap feeling remote control and the fact that you can't control from a wall switch. I didn't care about that so much as I did about the performance of the fan. I bought it, installed it and it is awesome. Even on its lowest setting, this thing moves air. Its like an ocean breeze pouring over you in a subtle yet effective way...not like a wind tunnel mind you...just very soothing. Our great room is about 22' x 28' with a pitched ceiling height of about 30'. I haven't found anything negative about this fan. I believe the rigid aluminum blades make a huge difference in the way its able to move the air unlike most other large format fans with floppy blades and the pitch seems to be ideal. Worked for me!
Our ceilings are 14 feet high and the down rods and housing put the blades at 11 feet high from the floor. They look great, and new visitors to the building always comment about how awesome they look against the black tin ceiling. They help our utility bill as we only have to use the air conditioning system on the hottest of days in that area of the building. (In the winter, we reverse the blades to assist with pushing the heat down from the ceiling area. I hired electricians to install them since we are on court square across from the building department! I didn’t want to get harassed during my final inspection.
The biggest drawback is the touchiness of the remote controls. They are a bit cantankerous and sometimes require a few “clicks” of the buttons before the blades engage. I would definitely recommend these fans and wish you well on your project!

Update: review changed to 4 stars. After much waiting and back & forth with westinghouse, i got replacement part in the mail free of charge. The only reason this review is not 5 stars is because it took 3 weeks to get the desired result and 9 days for anyone to get back to me after leaving messages initially.
Great fan! Moves some serious air!
