The Patterson V-Series HVLS Ceiling Fan is designed to be light, quiet, and simple to operate. The V-Series are also gearless and maintenance free due to the self-lubricating bearings. Rated for indoor and outdoor covered spaces, with its IP54 motor and IP66 VFD, shops of any kind can experience air movement of up to 23,000 sq. ft. of coverage. According to the company, its uniquely designed dihedral v-shaped blades are angled up 7 degrees allowing air distribution to a wider area, making it more efficient than other HVLS fans.
