Hi Susan, thank you for the question. The Minka Aire Light Wave is UL Listed for Indoor use only, so it is not designed to be exposed to moisture or harsh elements. Do not install this fan outside your house, or any damp locations. We hope this helps. If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out to one of our experts.

Hi Michael. Thank you for your inquiry. This ceiling fan is UL Damp Rated. Usually, a fan should be UL Wet Rated for the outdoors. Although, we cannot recommend it for the outdoors, you may be able to put it under a porch or outdoors that would be protected from rain and the other elements. Please make sure you refer to their warranty. Hope this helps! LightsOnline

As long as it's a little dry and not wet you use it. Is it's too damp, it won't really work.

The product would need to be air tight and "Rated for Wet Locations" to use in a bathroom / shower or an outdoor application. The "Wet Location Rating" would be stated on the package. If it is not state stated on the package it is not designed to go in wet locations.

The time I use it, is when there is more dampness. If it was raining or if I washed my truck or if I sweat a lot that day because of extremely hot weather. I am very pleased with it and wished I purchased it a few years back.

Possibly, it is made with a lot of plastic, and is a wall mounted item. If you mount it about 6' off the floor, under a patio roof, not screen, you should get a lot of use out of it. So to clearify, DAMP = yes / WET = no. I hope this is helpful.

Yes. They are suitable for damp locations. I have one above my shower (though the ceiling is 9' tall).

I would say yes! Based on our experience with the mailbox located in the all-season Midwest, with outside placement, we have yet to have wet, let alone damp mail like we used to with the old one. Extremely sturdy, well crafted, and beautiful color (much less orange than photo). Highly recommend this product to anyone!

Hi, I recommend contacting the manufacturer. I installed mine indoors and I really like it. I do not recall reading anything on the rated portion damp/wet.

No. This fan is design for a residential, light commercial installation and is resistant to humidity, only.You should search for an industrial ventilation fan ( or fume hood) and sit down before you check the price. Hope this helps.

The bulb is suitable for damp locations. Do not use it if directly exposed to rain.

I live in a humid climate and have not experienced this. My rack is in a utility room which is insulated but which I shut off to save utility costs. I use it 2-3 times a week with damp items. I was very fond of my wooden one which mildewed and. broke down after years of service. This one is performing like a champ.

The temperature is less of an issue than the moisture. It is not rated for outside use.

Perhaps. The label on the backside of the fixture states "Suitable for damp locations" so its more rugged than average.

I am not sure it's designed for a humid installation, but if it is, I would.

Only if it is protected from wind and rain it is not rated for wet or damp area
