Although its fluted design may reference to over two thousand years ago, the Flute is modern in every respect. The vertical orientation of the die-cast body allows us to offer an optional but integral light, using an incandescent or a 26-watt compact fluorescent lamp. The fluorescent light is ideal for commercial uses as the lamp lasts at least 10,000 hours & uses 75% less energy than equivalent incandescent bulbs.

The Flute is all die-cast zinc alloy and is offered in gloss white or a textured nickel finish. Both finishes come with four matching blades. In addition, blades are available for the flute in black, red mahogany, or medium maple finishes.

The motor is a high power silicon steel unit with 18 poles, designed for long life and cool running, and is controlled by two capacitors. The Flute motor can run at any of three speeds set by the control. The Modern Fan Company offers several switching and control options for both speed and light control. Please see the controls section. All Modern Fan Co. products carry a damp location UL/CUL listing.

The Flute is available in several standard, as well as custom lengths and with a 42" or 52" blade span.
