    Includes 4" and 10" downrods for 18" and 24" overall lengths. The Nimbus was the first new design by Ron Rezek exclusively for the Modern Fan Company. It 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, a new 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 a 75W G9 halogen lamp or a 26W GU24 compact fluorescent.

    The Nimbus is offered in matte nickel and dark bronze.

    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. The fan speed and the light can be operated by one of three control options described in the controls section of this catalog. Note: Any control ordered with a fan that has been configured with an energy-saving CFL will be supplied in a non-dimming version. All Modern Fan Co. products carry a UL/CUL listing.

    The Nimbus is available in several standard heights using the optional downrods . The diameter of the sphere is 9.375" at the place where the blade rotor enters the body. The fan can accomodate up to 33 degree sloped ceiling; for slopes over 33 degrees but under 45 degrees, use the sloped ceiling adaptor (sold separately).

    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."

    Ask YLighting a Question

    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.

    YLighting 5 Star Ratings 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.
