A 48-inch flush-mount ceiling fan from Fanimation's Spitfire collection, finished in brushed nickel with dark walnut blades - ideal for low ceilings and covered outdoor spaces.
The Spitfire Close-to-Ceiling version mounts flush to the ceiling, keeping the sleek three-blade design just 9.5 inches from the ceiling - perfect for rooms with 8-foot ceilings or lower. The brushed nickel motor housing pairs with dark walnut buttonwood blades for a warm, modern look. Its damp rating makes it a reliable choice for covered patios, sunrooms, and bathrooms, and the reversible AC motor delivers up to 4,995 CFM of airflow for year-round comfort.
Best for
- Rooms with low ceilings (8 ft or less) where a flush mount is needed to maintain clearance
- Covered patios and porches that need a damp-rated fan to handle humidity
- Sunrooms and three-season rooms that get warm in summer and need air movement
- Bathrooms and laundry rooms with high moisture levels - the damp rating protects the motor and blades
- Smart-home setups - compatible with Fanimation fanSync and most smart devices (control sold separately)
Not ideal for
- Uncovered outdoor areas exposed to direct rain or water - this fan is damp-rated, not wet-rated
- Spaces where you want a light kit included - the light kit is sold separately for this version
- Large rooms over 200 square feet - a 60-inch model would provide better airflow
How bright is it?
This fan does not include a light kit, so brightness depends on the optional 18-watt LED module (sold separately). When added, it delivers 1500 lumens - roughly equivalent to a 100W incandescent bulb - enough to illuminate a small to medium room as ambient light.
Light color and feel
If you add the optional LED light kit, it emits 3000K warm white light - a soft, golden tone similar to traditional incandescent bulbs. With a CRI of 90, it renders colors accurately, making it suitable for kitchens or living spaces where you want true-to-life tones. The light is dimmable, and the included TR500 remote controls light levels infinitely.
