Photos all show fan from horizontal to pointing at the ceiling....will it point down at all?

For once in my life, I agree completely with "Bill" Maher: when the fan oscillates up-down, it goes from horizontal (0 degrees), up to fully vertical (+90 degrees), then back down past horizontal and down about 25-30 degrees below horizontal. If it went any lower, it would be blowing down into its base.

Describing relative to the photograph currently (07-June-2014) 1st on the product page; the fan oscillates left-to-right through about 60°, and up and down about -25° to up 90° (pointing toward the floor through pointing straight up).

I checked with my husband, who actually installed the fan. Basically he said that the issue would be getting the right ceiling mount kit, one that would compensate for the sloped ceiling. Without knowing what kind of sloped ceiling you have (gently sloped? cathedral ceiling?), it's difficult to be more specific than that. Basically, I think any fan can be installed on any ceiling if you have the correct mounting kit. Ceiling fans need a lot of support and there are many ways to compensate if your ceiling is problematic in any way (such as retrofit ceiling fan "Saf-T-Brace"). I hope this helps somewhat. Good luck!

No it can not. But, if you cut down the extension rod to the minimum length it will actually hang down less than a traditional looking flush mounted fan. What I did is a little bit of trial and error, trimming down the rod a bit at a time until i had it as short as possible. What limits you is the upper "cone" must go on first and then you must hook the fan to the ceiling bracket prior to securing the upper cone. A little tricky to try to explain, but I think I got the rod down to 2.5" or so in length.

Dear MikeYes the sensor might be facing towards the direction where motion will occur. So i believe it should be pointting downwardsBest regardsStacy @ ChiChinLighting

no, the fan does not tilt downwards. It tilts up at various angles until it is pointed straight up.

Rachel,Yes both of mine are flush mounted just like a normal fan would be. The down rods were way too long for what I was trying to do. The hard part was finding a switch that would work with two fans. The one that comes with it is great for one or if you are running them on separate lines.

You have to figure out how far from your ceiling you want the fan mounted. If it's a high ceiling get a longer down rod if it's regulsr height the ones with the fan should be OK.

I don't have mine permanently mounted horizontally, but when I was building the box I ran it while horizontal and it didn't make any noise, change fan speed, etc.

This fan is not a flush mount fan. You can use a down rod with it. We used a 12" down rod. We've been very happy with this fan.

Hello! The fan can go up to 29 degrees without an adapter for an angled ceiling. Otherwise, you'll need http://www.amazon.com/MinkaAire-A245-DKG-F612-DKG-Distressed-Highlights/dp/B006TTOBBA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1394720972&sr=8-1&keywords=A245-DKG If there is anything else we can help with, please let us know!

It will tilt down all the way to horizontal. You can attach it to a desk, tilt it down, and lie on the floor to look at it if you want.

I am looking at my fan right now. It is obvious that if it were mounted on a sloping ceiling that sloped more than a tiny amount- say 5 degrees, the fan blades would hit the ceiling. You could, of course, mount it on a rod that dropped from the ceiling, but the rod would likely sway as the blades of the fan start to spin. Thus, you would have to brace the rod somehow, but doing so would ruin the aesthetics of the fan. The only solution I can think of would be to have a carpenter install a beam near the apex of the roof- kind of like a tie rod-- and mount your fan to that.

Yes...it will point down and up to a 90 degree angle. It seems to have a ratcheting system in the square base near the screw-in section, so you can position the 90 in whatever direction you wish.

I'm sorry but I didnt try mounting it horizontally and it's now in a position which makes it difficult for me to remove. However, I don't see why it would not work mounted horizontally since I have other brands of computer fans that are mounted horizontally and blowing upwards.

I do not think fan be flush mounted. Ceiling to bottom of light height is very close to 18inches.

The fan can be tilted downward. I have my fan attached to the wall at about 74 inches, and tilted downward so that the air blows across the bed. My ceilings were too low for a ceiling fan, so this is my alternative. It works very well.

yes in two ways - the fan can be raised or lowered on its stand, and the fan itself can be pointed up or down.
