My ceiling is only 8'-0". Will this be too low at 6'-8"?

This is a large fan and moves a lot of air... it works well in vaulted or cathedral ceiling applications. In a regular 8' ceiling, it will look out of place and may be dangerously low with the included down rod. You should look for a ceiling hugger style fan.

It depends on how large of the Minka you are getting. It's pretty big and I'm not sure it will look or feel good at 6'-8". It moves a lot of air.

Hello,With an overall height of 16.75", Top to Bottom this Minka Aire F905-DK XL5 Artemis Ceiling Fan will be too large for an 8' Ceiling. We would recommend the Minka Aire F803-DK Artemis Distressed Koa Fan which has a height of only 12" and would work fine for a 8' ceiling and captures the same cool modern design of the larger XL5.Thank you,ALCOVE LIGHTING

I have 9' ceiling and the downrod is 6" I addition to the control box makes it almost 9" from the ceiling. I believe the minimum is 6".

Ours is hanging from just under 7 feet. That is about as low as you probably want to go.

Mine hangs down 30" for an 8 ft. ceiling, It was actually made for a 9 ft. ceiling which would allow it to hang down at least 42". They said it would work for an 8 ft. ceiling , but I had to cut some off the brackets and the stainless steel columns to make it work.

I am 6'2" and it is fine for me. I would not put it in a room with less than an 8' ceiling for someone as tall as you are.

Hi Ed,Thanks for the question. This fan requires a minimum ceiling height of at least 92.5" in order to meet building codes, so you should be fine because 8.5 feet measures 102". Also, this fan cannot be flush mounted, but again, you should be just fine with your ceiling height.

I'm 5'8", and am able to use it comfortably with 7' ceilings. It leaves plenty of room between my head and the ceiling.I have a ceiling fan in the room, and would probably even be able to use it under that, although that would be a bit tight for my liking.

As designed, the system will lower to 8 feet FROM the ceiling. If you try to MacGyver something to lower further, it MIGHT work, but do you trust it enough to be walking/parking under it at that point? Personally, I wouldn't do it.

I'm not an expert but I wouldn't install it in an 8 ft ceiling. We installed ours in a 13 ft ceiling. I would think 10 ft should be a minimum .

No. I've been trying to figure out a way to shorten as well. My ceiling is avg. around 8-10 ft and it looks just fine. The reason I wanted to shorten so I could shorten certain ones not all.

absolutely just make sure your ceiling is high enough... I think it's 9' high.we LOVE IT!

Hi Steve, You would be better off with a smaller unit. Honestly, we had issues with this particular unit on one of our recent installations. Look at some of the other smaller units as they are better fit to accommodate your 7' ceiling height.

Hi AMT,Thanks for the question. This fan requires a minimum ceiling height of at least 94.52" in order to meet building codes. If your ceiling is 8ft then it is 96", so you should be fine.

I am 5'7", and need 6' 8" to 6' 10" ceiling. I don't jump super high, but high enough toclear the surface a couple inches. If your ceiling is truly 7' tall, your husband isgoing to be very close. Probably too close. 7'2" would probably be ok.

I used it for my old FJ 40 and only needed about 8". The problem with the low ceiling is you have no way to pull a vehicle back in if the shell stays there. I was able to get my roof within 6" of the ceiling.

I am not sure. I believe it is less that a foot. It looks nice. It great for rooms with the standard 8 foot ceilings. I am sorry.

i cant say for sure (im not at home right now) but i can say its very tall. i set it up in my garage and theres only a few inches to spare. if you have a normal 8ft ceiling you should be fine. just be careful while setting it up. also you might want to get sandbags or something as a counterweight. it tends to tilt and slide easily if its not weighed down properly. but i would highly recommend this product for its cost, ease of assembly, and structure. its very sturdy for such a cheap product. the only bad thing i can say is theres not enough counterweight.
