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 standard incandescent bulb.

The Nimbus is offered in gloss white, matte nickel and a dark bronze. The white and nickel versions are shipped with white blades and the bronze is shipped with black blades. Red mahogany, medium maple and painted nickel blades are also available.

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. All Modern Fan Co. products carry a UL/CUL listing.

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