Basic-Max is an outdoor ceiling fan from Maxim Lighting. It has a 52 in (132 cm) blade span. It is offered in Black or Oil Rubbed Bronze. It has no light, for a clean, fan-only look.
The Design Story
Basic-Max is Maxim's workhorse, and its cleverness is in the install: it can close-mount tight to the ceiling, hang on its standard stem, or drop on an optional rod up to 72 inches long. Five reversible blades in two-tone wood finishes let one fan suit two looks, and the clean housing fits easily into a transitional room.
Why You’ll Love It
A dependable AC motor drives it, with 3 speeds and a reverse setting that pushes warm air down in winter. It moves up to 4,504 cubic feet of air per minute on high, at up to 85 CFM per watt. It comes with a pull chain. 5 abs blades. Versions are offered for damp and wet locations; see the Location rating below.

Putting It Together
Maxim posts an instruction sheet (PDF) for this outdoor ceiling fan. We recommend a qualified electrician for the install. A ceiling fan must hang from a fan-rated electrical box.

Where It Shines
On covered porches, patios, pergolas, outdoor kitchens and sunrooms, where a breeze keeps people comfortable and helps keep insects away. Wet-rated fans can also go where rain reaches them; damp-rated fans belong under a roof.
Questions We Hear Most
What size room is the Basic-Max fan right for?
Its 52 in span suits rooms of about 144 to 225 sq ft or a little more, such as most bedrooms, kitchens and dining rooms.
Will it work with my ceiling height?
On a standard 9 ft ceiling the fan hangs on its short rod; on taller ceilings, add a longer downrod so the blades sit about 8 to 9 ft above the floor. Maxim downrods are sold separately. The blades sit 10.5 in (26.7 cm) below the ceiling on the standard mount.
How do I control it?
It comes with a pull chain. Maxim also sells wall controls and remotes separately.
Can it be used outdoors or in a bathroom?
That depends on the version: wet rated. Wet rated can take direct rain; damp rated belongs under a roof; dry rated is for indoors.
Why We Love It
One familiar, dependable fan that adapts to almost any ceiling height.
