Know before you buy
Yes, the Pick-A-Flow speed selector allows you to choose between 110, 130, or 150 CFM. While the switch is located on the unit, it is accessible by removing the grille, making it easy to adjust if your ventilation needs change.
The 10W LED panel is compatible with most standard LED-rated wall dimmers. We recommend checking your dimmer's compatibility list to ensure smooth, flicker-free performance.
The Flex-Z Fast bracket is designed to be installed from below the ceiling, which is ideal for retrofitting or when you don't have access to the attic space. It provides a secure, flexible mounting system that significantly reduces the time and effort required to position the fan between joists.
Yes, the night light operates on a separate circuit from the main LED panel. You will need to wire it to a dedicated switch or a multi-function wall control to toggle it independently.
Yes, the fan is compatible with both 4-inch and 6-inch ducts. It includes a duct adapter to accommodate whichever size is currently installed in your ceiling.
SmartFlow technology automatically detects the static pressure in your ductwork and adjusts the motor speed accordingly. This ensures the fan maintains its rated CFM performance even if your duct run is long or has multiple bends.
