Customers consistently praise the Discus fan for its sleek modern design, noting how seamlessly it elevates outdoor spaces like patios and pergolas.

Know before you buy
Yes, this fan is wet-rated, meaning it is specifically engineered to withstand direct exposure to rain and moisture, making it suitable for both covered patios and open-air spaces.
No, the Discus Outdoor fan is operated via a traditional pull-chain system. It features three speed settings and a manual reverse switch located on the motor housing.
The integrated 20W LED light produces 800 lumens, which is roughly equivalent to a standard 60-watt incandescent bulb. It provides ample ambient light for outdoor seating areas.
The reverse function allows you to change the blade direction to circulate air differently. In warmer months, it pushes air downward for a cooling breeze, while in cooler months, it can help circulate trapped air if used in a covered, enclosed outdoor space.
The product specifications do not indicate that the integrated LED light is dimmable. It is designed for standard on/off operation via the pull chain.
