A 48-inch wet-rated ceiling fan from Matthews Fans, designed for covered outdoor living spaces like patios, pergolas, and gazebos, with a brushed brass motor housing and light maple ABS blades.
The Alessandra Tropical combines a minimal tropical silhouette with the durability of cast aluminum, heavy stamped steel, and weather-resistant ABS blades. Its brushed brass finish and light maple blades bring a warm, transitional look that complements both modern and traditional exteriors. With a powerful DC motor, six speeds, and a reversible function, this fan delivers efficient, silent airflow for rooms up to 225 square feet.
Best for

- Large living rooms, dining rooms, and primary bedrooms (144-225 sq. ft.)
- Spaces with sloped ceilings up to 30 degrees (60-degree adapter available separately)
- Outdoor kitchens or covered entertainment areas needing quiet, powerful airflow

Not ideal for
- Indoor-only rooms where a light kit is required (this model has no light kit)
- Small spaces under 144 sq. ft. where a smaller fan would suffice
- Ceilings lower than 8 feet if you plan to use a longer downrod
How bright is it?
This ceiling fan does not include a light kit, so brightness is not applicable. It is designed for cooling and air circulation only.
Light color and feel
No light kit is included, so there is no light color or feel to describe. The fan's finish, however, adds a warm brass tone that pairs well with warm outdoor lighting.
