MELLCOM 20-Inch Outdoor Ceiling Fan with Light, IP65
An IP65-rated caged fan that plugs in rather than being wired, with a remote and a three-colour LED light.
What this one is built around
IP65 is the specification to check and the one most outdoor fans quietly lack. The first digit is dust: 6 means fully sealed. The second is water: 5 means it withstands jets from any direction. Under an open structure, where rain arrives sideways and nothing is sheltered from wind, that is the rating that matters - an indoor fan hung outside fails at the motor.
It plugs in rather than being hard-wired, which removes an electrician from the project. Two downrods are supplied for different ceiling heights, and the cage means it can hang lower than a bare-bladed fan safely.
- IP65 rated - sealed against dust and rated for water jets, which is what an open structure needs
