Seagull Lighting DR18BK Ceiling Fan Downrod 18 in Matte Black

Product Description

The SEAGULL LIGHTING DR18BK is an 18-inch ceiling fan downrod finished in matte black. A downrod connects the ceiling fan motor housing to the ceiling canopy, setting the fan at the correct hanging height for proper air circulation. This rod is suited for installation in rooms where standard flush or close-to-ceiling mounting does not provide adequate clearance or airflow. Licensed electricians and skilled HVAC or electrical trades typically handle ceiling fan installations, though experienced DIYers familiar with electrical work also perform these installs.

This downrod is intended for use in residential ceiling fan applications where additional drop length is needed. An 18-inch rod is commonly selected for rooms with ceilings in the 9- to 10-foot range, allowing the fan blades to hang at the recommended 8- to 9-foot height above the floor for optimal air movement. The matte black finish suits a wide range of contemporary and transitional interior styles.

Key Features

• 18-inch length provides appropriate drop for mid-to-high residential ceiling heights

Compatibility

Installation Notes
