A 4-inch ceiling fan downrod in matte black steel for lowering ceiling fans to the ideal height in bedrooms, living rooms, and kitchens.
This genuine Millennium Lighting downrod is the simple fix when a ceiling fan hangs too close to the ceiling. The matte black finish pairs with modern and traditional fans alike, and the steel construction resists wobble so the fan spins smoothly. It is damp rated, so it works in moisture-prone rooms like covered porches and bathrooms.
Best for
- Bedrooms with 9-10 ft ceilings where the fan needs to drop a few inches for better airflow
- Living rooms and dining rooms where a fan currently sits too high to be effective
- Kitchens and covered outdoor areas - damp rated for moisture-prone spaces
- Replacing a missing or damaged downrod on a compatible Millennium Lighting fan
Not ideal for
- Very high ceilings - a 4-inch downrod will not lower the fan enough; choose a longer length
- Fans that require a specific non-standard downrod diameter
Style and finish
Matte black steel with a clean, linear profile. The finish is flat rather than glossy, so it disappears against dark ceilings and blends with black or bronze fan bodies.
Materials and care
Constructed from steel. Wipe with a soft dry cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners that could dull the matte finish. Care instructions not specified by manufacturer beyond routine dusting.
Sizing and fit
Measures 4 in long x 0.75 in wide x 0.75 in high and weighs 0.26 lbs. Slope compatible, so it works on angled ceilings. Fits standard 0.75-inch diameter fan downrod receivers.
