Kichler Expands Ceiling Fans to Help Homeowners Save Energy, Enjoy Comforts of Home
New Additions Include ENERGY STAR, Wet Location Models
CLEVELAND—Jan. 14, 2010—Thanks to their ability to control heating and cooling
costs, ceiling fans have found renewed popularity among today’s budget-minded homeowners. In
response, Kichler introduces 19 new models, including five ENERGY STAR fans and five styles
approved for wet, outdoor locations.
“Ceiling fans are a natural extension of the Kichler Lighting brand, and we continue
to engineer models that not only complement Kichler Lighting families but offer homeowners
increased energy savings, quiet motors and designs that help them enjoy their living spaces,” said
Ted Collmar, Kichler’s ceiling fan product manager. “Our ceiling fan line offers a breadth of
stylings, from cool contemporary to basic and functional, to meet the needs of every homeowner.”<

A majority of the new fans are powered by Kichler’s exclusive CoolTouch™ Remote
Control, an all-in-one control system that offers hand-held or wall-mounted operation. All are
backed by Kichler’s limited lifetime warranty and are compatible with a variety of Kichler fan
accessories, including light kits and finial/pull-chain accents.
ENERGY STAR & Brushless Motor Fans
The following fans are among Kichler’s new ENERGY STAR qualified fans, thanks to
their energy-saving components:
-
Canfield™
Select and
Canfield
Patio – In addition to their durability, the energy-saving Canfield fans offer a casual design
suited to match any space. The five-blade, Canfield Select fan features a stacked oval housing with
a downlight in four finishes and four reversible blade combinations. In addition to its ENERGY STAR
qualification, the outdoor/indoor Canfield Patio fan is approved for use in wet locations and
available in four finishes and four reversible blade combinations.
-
Bentzen™
-- Ornate, cut-out detailing on the bottom of the fan box brings a distinctive, decorative appeal
to this indoor fan collection. The five-blade Bentzen fan is available in five finishes and five
blade combinations and uses a pull-chain control system. Optional down lights and the CoolTouch™
Remote system are available as accessories to this family.
-
Whitmore™
-- This five-blade fan offers a 60” blade sweep perfect for cooling mid-large sized rooms. With
simple details, this budget-friendly family also offers a choice of four finishes, including
a beautiful crackled Canyon Stone™ finish, and four blade combinations.
In addition to these models, Kichler also adds a new energy-saving, brushless motor
fan:
-
Ceres™
-- The motor of the Ceres fan uses 65 percent less energy than a typical ceiling fan motor, saving
on energy-related costs. The six-blade fan features up and down lighting and contemporary, dentil
accents surrounding a lit glass shade. Available in Oil Brushed Bronze™, Brushed Stainless Steel
and Antique Pewter with Cherry or Light Oak blades. Offers five speeds, rather than the standard
three, for additional flexibility.
Additional Outdoor/Indoor Fans
Five new moisture-resistant fan collections create a relaxing, cool breeze in a covered
porch, backyard gazebo or outdoor patio. Engineered to withstand extreme temperatures and approved
for use in wet locations, these new models run flawlessly, whether the homeowner uses them indoors
or out. Stand-out styles include:
-
Aldrin™
Patio – With a rustic, weathered appeal, this new collection features a circular etched light,
which connects to the fan’s five blades courtesy of masculine, curing arms. Available in three
finishes – Weathered Steel, Weathered Copper and Tannery Bronze – and five blade styles – Cherry,
Teak and three shades of Walnut.
-
Hatteras Bay Patio™ -- Designed to match an expanding Kichler outdoor family, the
Hatteras Bay ceiling fan is characterized by a variety of urban-inspired, decorative nuts and bolts
and a spherical “Fresnel lens” light cover. This thin glass lens was originally developed for use
in lighthouses and is mounted in a thin steel frame in a Tannery Bronze or Weathered Copper finish.
Reversible fan styles include Cherry and three shades of Walnut.
-
Seaside™
– A long-time Kichler outdoor lantern family, this collection expands with the addition of an
outdoor/indoor lighted ceiling fan in two finishes. A crescent-shaped, white opal glass shade is
cradled by two intersecting steel arms and a cone-shaped steel cover. Available in a Brushed Nickel
or Olde Bronze finish with four reversible Walnut/Light Oak blades. Operates off a pull-chain
control system.
Decorative Fans
Kichler also expands its decorative ceiling fans with both traditional and
contemporary designs. The following contemporary styles meet increased demand for contemporary home
furnishings:
-
Arius™
-- With an eye-catching, spinning-top shaped housing, this contemporary fan creates an exciting
focal point in any room. Features a unique two-blade design with Satin Smoke blades and an inviting
Polished Nickel or Midnight Chrome finish.
-
Palla™
-- The striking Palla collection is the essence of contemporary with sleek, smooth lines, a unique
ribbed center column and a mirrored Polished Nickel or Midnight Chrome finish. The fan’s sweeping
profile, dense arms and disc-shaped White-Etched glass shades complement the Palla decorative
family, which includes several chandeliers, a sconce and a semi-flush ceiling mount.
