    Design by Ron Rezek.
    By The Modern Fan Company.

    The Nimbus incorporates several important innovative mechanical and design features not found in other fans. These features include: a die-cast zinc body which enables the Nimbus to be plated with a nickel finish, an uncluttered canopy with concealed screws, a built-in light, a standard slope ceiling adapter, five blades and a thin down rod design. In addition the Nimbus is the first ceiling fan to use a rotor/blade holder which is placed on top of the fan. This enables easy blade installation from the top and gives plenty of room for a light using either an incandescent or compact fluorescent lamp. Note: Any control ordered with a fan that has been configured with an energy-saving CFL will be supplied in a non-dimming version.

    The Nimbus is offered in a matte nickel or dark bronze finish. Blades may be specified in one of five finishes: nickel, maple, black, white or mahogany. Select 42" or 52" blade span. The Nimbus is powered by a high silicon steel motor incorporating 16 poles and using sealed bearings to insure long life and cool running. The five blades and the balanced rotor give the Nimbus a turbine-like smoothness of operation. Includes 4" and 10" downrods for 18" or 24" overall height. Optional downrods available for alternate heights. The fan can accommodate a sloped ceiling up to 33°. For slopes over 33° but under 45°, use the sloped ceiling adapter (sold separately).

    • Airflow measured in cubic feet per minute at high speed (CFM) = 5485.14
    • Watts at high speed = 69.4
    • Airflow efficiency at high speed (CFM/Watts) = 79.04

    Ron Rezek

    Ron Rezek

    Ron Rezek designed the world's first contemporary-styled ceiling fan, the Stratos, in 1986. But his list of accomplishments in the design world is long and varied, from lifeguard equipment to contemporary lighting. In 1997, Ron started The Modern Fan Co. in Ashland, Oregon, which produces and sells only contemporary ceiling fans.

    His ceiling fans have been widely used in hotels, restaurants, retail and institutional applications, and all types of residential projects.

    Ron Rezek's Philosophy:
    "I don't think contemporary means a stark white room. I think it means a tasteful alignment of important elements. There are some designers who copy the Modernists who have come before. But I think 'contemporary' is the pursuit of the new." "People assume that all contemporary fixtures are more functional than traditional ones. That is because contemporary fixtures are easier to clean and they seem to be more utilitarian based on their appearance. And because of their simplicity and lack of ornamentation, they also have an alliance with the industrial look. But all of this doesn't necessarily translate into function. The Modern Fan Co.'s fans are designed to be functional and energy efficient. This is part of being contemporary and pushing the edge. Energy efficiency is the wave of the future."

    Clean and Modern

    I was looking for a very clean and modern fan for the great room to replace an existing more tradional fan. There is not much out there on the market for clean, well designed ceiling fans beyond The Modern Fan Company. I bought the Nimbus model and am very happy with it - simple, clean design which blends into a more modern motif and functions well and moves alot more air than the more traditional fan it was replacing. Fairly easy to install however the canopy is very tight especially when you add the remote receiver. The additional remote control feature is a nice addition to the wall controls. Overall, really pleased with the purchase and the service from Y Lighting.

    Modern, sleek ceiling fan!

    This fan looks absolutely stunning in my home and I will be purchasing more from the same line to place in the other rooms in my home. I have gotten countless complements on it. It's quiet and is balanced well so it doesn't have travel to it when it is placed on the highest speed. Ylighting has great customer service and I received my order quickly.

    Fabulous looking ceiling fan!

    I have never liked ceiling fans. I always thought they were the ugliest thing... still do... till I bought the Nimbus ceiling fan to replace an existing one in my new home. It looks fabulous. I like the clean look. When it whirls, you don't hear a sound and it does not rock around. The light is nice and bright, but not glaring. I am very pleased and highly recommend this one.

    Great Light - Bad Shipping

    I have ordered this light before and loved it. This time, the wrong light was delivered and a new one has not arrived when expected.

    Modern Fan Company Makes Great Products

    I purchased 2 Modern Fan Company Nimbus fans for our home in Hawaii. I am very pleased with them. I am a big fan of Ron Rezek (Modern Fan Company's founder). The designs are clever and the items are manufactured to high standards. My only regret is that Rezek seems to have abandoned the furniture and lighting side of his business. YLighting gets my highest recommendation. They are responsive, reliable, and ship quickly.

    The nimbus light has a great design. The quality of the materials is excellent and the brushed nickel finish is perfect. My clients were very, very pleased

    Beautiful, clean-looking, design and very easy to install.

    I ordered two Nimbus fans and a wall-mount remote after clarifying the wiring options with Pondi at YLighting. The fans, down rods and remote all arrived within days and were in perfect condition. The hardest part of my installation was erecting and balancing on scaffolding to reach the junction box 15 feet in the air. The down rods included extension wiring and the included ceiling mount easily accommodated the 7 x 12 pitch of the ceiling. I have two circuits (three wires) and wired both fans in parallel for control from one remote. The blades and glass dome all assembled with ease and have a gorgeous, clean look! (The included CFL has post-type electrical connections as opposed to the typical screw type, so I may have to order replacements someday from YLighting rather than buy locally.) The fan motor is completely silent and the only sound is the wind blasting down when at full-speed. I am completely satisfied with all aspects of my purchase and will be buying many more fixtures from YLighting as my remodel continues.

    Modern and sleek fan!

    We really like the Nimbus fun - it has a great look and looks nice in any room. We also like the remote - it's nice to be able to dim the lights on the fan with it.

    Customer Questions

    Q:  Can multiple fans be operated from one remote control?

    A:  For the Modern Fans- as long the fans are fan only and do not include light kits, multiple fans can be operated from one remote. Additional receivers will need to be ordered for each additional fan.

    Remodel Housings

    In contrast to new construction housings, remodeling housings are appropriate when you have limited or no access to the space above a new fixture, such as in an apartment or a home without crawl spaces or attics above.

    New Construction Housings

    In contrast to remodeling housings, new construction housings are bulkier and need to be installed between joist beams or onto hangar bars and thus you need full access to the space above the fixture. This style is best used if you are building in a new space, gutting a room, or have an attic above or pop out ceiling, etc.

    Non-IC Rated

    Non-IC stands for: non insulation contact. Thus, non-IC-rated housings must be kept at least 3 inches away from any insulation.

    IC Rated

    IC stands for: insulation contact. Thus, IC-rated housings can come in direct contact with thermal insulation.

    MR16 Halogen Bulb

    MR 16 is a standard format for halogen multifaceted reflector light bulbs. MR16 lamps are regularly used in place of standard incandescent light bulbs as they harness and shoot light, resulting in less light loss than a traditional bulb. These are best used when you want focused light such as in a pendant over a countertop or an accent light on a painting.

    cUL Listed

    CUL stands for Underwriters Laboratories of Canada, a non-profit company that tests electrical components and equipment for potential hazards. If something is UL-listed, I means it has met the agency's safety requirements for things like fire, shock hazards, etc. While you can buy and install non-UL listed fixtures, sometimes insurance policies will limit their liabilities accordingly, inspectors may not approve permits, etc.

    UL Listed

    UL stands for Underwriters Laboratories, a non-profit company that tests electrical components and equipment for potential hazards. If something is UL-listed, it means it has met the agency's safety requirements for things like fire, shock hazards, etc. While you can buy and install non-UL listed fixtures, sometimes insurance policies will limit their liabilities accordingly, inspectors may not approve permits, etc.

    Damp Location

    If the environment exposes the lighting system to moisture condensation, then the location is a damp location. Lights that are approved for damp locations can be used in sheltered outdoor areas such as roofed porches or interior locations subject to moderated degrees of moisture such as basements.

    Wet Location

    If the lighting system is exposed to direct impact by water from splashing or dripping, which will make the fixture wet, then the location is a wet location. Your most common wet locations are uncovered outdoor areas.

    Baffle Trim

    The term Baffle refers to the grooved style of the trim. This trim is the most popular choice of all recessed lighting trims and is best used in living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, and dens.

    Open Reflector

    Reflector trims have a higly polished inner trim, which gives the most amount of light off of the light bulb. This trim is perfect for use in kitchens, offices and commercial buildings.

    Slotted Aperture

    The slotted aperture trim is used to highlight or accent a specific object or space.

    Pin Hole

    Pin Hole trims give off a narrow spread of light. This trim is perfect for highlight a small object from above.

    Baffle

    The term Baffle refers to the grooved style of the trim. This trim is the most popular choice of all recessed lighting trims and is best used in living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, and dens.

    Step Baffle

    A Step Baffle refers to the evenly spaced and large grooves in the trim. This trim is for use in all living spaces in a house (bedrooms, living rooms, and dens).

    Wall Wash

    Wall Wash trims will have a shield inserted into the trim. This allows the light to be directed at an angle against a wall or large surface: paintings, large photos, etc.

    Gimbal Ring

    Gimbal Ring trims allow the light bulb to be directed or angled to highlight a specific spot or general area. This trim is popular in living rooms, dens and home offices.

    Eyeball

    Eyeball trims refer to the look of the trim as an eyeball. The bulb is housed in the eyeball portion and allows for maximum adjustability in positioning the light. This trim is for use in living rooms, dens and home offices.

    Aperture Cone

    This trim is for use when superior performance photometrics is desired and low glare is needed. These trims are typically used in commercial applications.

    Regressed Fresnel Lens

    Lensed trims are for use in wet locations, such as showers, bathrooms and outside applications.

    Scoop Wall Wash

    Scoop Wall Wash trims will have a shield inserted into the trim. This allows the light to be directed at an angle against a wall or large surface: paintings, large photos, etc.).
