Vintage Fans & More's video: Casablanca Lanai Ceiling Fan Studio Remake

Casablanca Lanai 53" ceiling fan in washed bronze, still in the original box, this time shown with a proper set of black outdoor blades that I was able to grab specifically with this fan in mind. This one has been on the remake list for a bit, but I've really kind of wanted to do a new video with these blades since I got them. Of course you can pair standard wood blades with the Lanai and it's great, but these really complete the ✨vibe✨ for me. These were excellent outdoor fans, one of the models that really elevated outdoor fan design and performance as their popularity exploded to a different level. Outdoor fans as they exist today owe a little something to what the Lanai achieved in its day. Airflow a top priority while still looking decorative, sturdy components to hold their own out in the elements, and finishes that were extremely resilient to moisture. Truly a luxury outdoor fan; a trailblazer for the likes of Modern Forms in today's market. This is an earlier version (as denoted by the standard style switch housing), which makes it even more remarkable that the motor is so quiet. Casablanca's older spinner motors were plagued with motor hum, some quite unbearable. Incredibly powerful, but often noisy. This Lanai is one of the better examples, near silent on low speed. I just love it. I never used to be very into outdoor fans as a category, but in recent years I've become more of a connoisseur as more and more new designs are built to work indoors or out. Makes you appreciate the originals that made such a thing desirable and mainstream.
