Modern Forms FR-W1815-60L-GH/WG – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Modern Forms Windflower FR-W1815 be installed on a covered patio or other exposed outdoor location?
Yes. The Windflower carries a Wet location rating with UL, cUL, CSA, ETL and cETL listings, so it can go on a covered patio, a porch, or a poolside soffit where it may see direct moisture. The blades are ABS rather than wood, which is what makes wet-location service possible.
2) Will the Windflower fan work on a sloped or vaulted ceiling?
It mounts on slopes up to 30 degrees using the 6 inch downrod that ships with it. Steeper than 30 degrees and you need a different fan or mounting approach. For tall flat ceilings, plan on a longer downrod than the included 6 inch to bring the blades into the 8 to 9 foot range.
3) Is a remote included with the FR-W1815, or do I have to buy one?
A Bluetooth wall control (F-WCBT-WT) is in the box; a handheld remote is not. If you want the battery remote, order the F-RCBT-WT separately. The wall control supports 3-way and 4-way setups, which is the usual ask on a great room with two entrances.
4) What do I have to specify when ordering the Windflower ceiling fan?
Three choices: blade span model (FR-W1815-60 or FR-W1815-80), finish (Graphite Weathered Gray or Matte Black Distressed Koa), and LED color temperature (2700K, 3000K or 3500K). All six finish and color temperature combinations exist in both sizes. A luminaire concealment cover is an option if you want the fan without the light showing.
5) What blade spans does the Windflower FR-W1815 come in, and which model number is which?
Two sizes are offered: model FR-W1815-60 and FR-W1815-80. The published blade span spec is 60 inches with 25.38 inch blades at a 13 degree pitch. Twelve blades, so the windmill look reads as a solid disc rather than a few paddles.
6) Is the Windflower fan bright enough to be the only light in a room, and can it be dimmed?
The integrated LED luminaire puts out 2100 lumens at 90 CRI with a flood distribution, and it is dimmable. That is enough for general ambient light over a seating area, but in a large great room most specs pair it with other fixtures rather than relying on it alone. Rated life is 50,000 hours, and the module is replaceable rather than a sealed throwaway.
7) How does a DC motor fan like the Windflower compare to a standard AC ceiling fan for a large room?
The reversible DC motor gives 6 speeds and up to 8458 CFM, and Modern Forms rates it up to 70 percent more efficient than an AC motor. Practical differences on the job: DC runs quieter, offers more speed steps, and reverses for winter downdraft. The tradeoff is that it will not run on a generic AC fan wall speed control or a standard dimmer, so use the supplied Bluetooth wall control.
8) What smart home systems does the Modern Forms Windflower fan integrate with?
It is Wi-Fi enabled through the free Modern Forms app, which handles speed, breeze mode, and adaptive learning. Voice and system integration covers Google Assistant, Alexa, SmartThings, Control4, and Josh AI, so it drops into a Control4 or Josh AI job without a third-party bridge.
9) I need to match ceiling fans across several units. Do the Windflower finishes coordinate?
Two finish combinations are offered across both sizes: Graphite with Weathered Gray blades, and Matte Black with Distressed Koa blades. Since both the 60 inch and 80 inch models come in each, you can run the larger fan in a great room and the smaller one in bedrooms or on a patio and keep the finish consistent. Pick one color temperature across the job too, or the light will read differently room to room.
10) Does the bulb in this Modern Forms fan get replaced, or is it an LED module?
There is no socket and no lamp to buy. The light source is an LED module, and Modern Forms builds it as a replaceable luminaire, so if it fails you swap the module rather than the fan. Order the color temperature you want up front (2700K, 3000K or 3500K) because that is set by the module you receive.
11) What voltage does the FR-W1815 run on, and is it Energy Star or ADA compliant?
It is a 120V fixture for standard North American residential and light commercial branch circuits. It is not Energy Star qualified and it is not ADA compliant, which matters if you are specifying into a project with an ADA or Energy Star requirement on fixtures.
12) Is there an installation guide for the Modern Forms Windflower fan before I rough in the box?
Modern Forms publishes an installation guide for the FR-W1815 that ZenSupply hosts at https://zensupply.com/content/pdf/modern-forms/installation-guide-b0e0ef.pdf. Read it before you set the outlet box: any fan this size needs a fan-rated box or a listed brace, not a standard lighting box.
