I place the fan on a shelf above where I am working. Can the fan be aimed down?

Yes, the fan position can be adjusted up & down. I have it located above me on top of a filing cabinet and I"ve chosen to point it upwards so that it pushes the air in room down and produces comfortable air flow without directly blowing on me.

Somewhat, but not much. If you need a big range of motion, I'd look elsewhere. However, this is an excellent fan. Best I've owned of its kind.

Mine is installed horizontally between two floor joists and so far it is working good. It replaces a fan intended for horizontal but I installed it in a ceiling (vertical) and it lasted a year before going out. Using a fan opposite of what it is intended for can be hard on the bearings. My guess is this one would be OK either way, but contacting the manufacturer would be the safest way to go.

Yes. Although not sure if you can flush mount it. I would just go to home depot or lowes and get a shorter down-rod. The rods come in white and various sizes. Great fan by the way.

No, this fan cannot be lowered. It is a low profile (Hugger) model and can only be mounted directly on the ceiling.

Yes. This fan can be locked in just about any position you want. For this size fan, it puts out a lot of air. I never have to turn it above low. Best fan I have ever had.

I see no reason why not as long as the mounting screws are secure. I have mine mounted on a window frame at the top so that the fan sweeps downward. The fan has a two screw mounting system where you lock the fan onto the screws. If you mount it on the ceiling you might want to check it once in a while to be sure it hasn't loosened.

sorry for the late response. The fan doesn't tilt all the way down, but if the fan is placed on a night stand or dresser, the air does hit the ground. Hope this helps

By the time you take into account the light fixture and the drop bar, yes it probably is. We have high, slanted ceilings so it wasn't a problem for us. I don't remember if you could flush-mount this fan or not. If you can, that would probably take around 8 inches off.

No. However, the exhaust fan located on the rear of the unit blows up and forward. You would need to confine taller objects to the side opposite the fan.

YES just might want to mount it on top where the BIG red fan is. IE take the fan off.

The fan can physically be mounted vertically but I am not qualified to comment on how this could affect the reliability or life of the fan. That would be a question best left to the manufacturer.

The fan tilts downward and upward. Actually, you can tilt the fan 360 degrees.

Yes it can be tilted down. It actually can be spun down so the fan is "closed" hiding the blades in the unit.

Mine is clipped to a window sill, so a horizontal surface. The "default" position is straight ahead horizontal. The fan can go completely vertical pointed up, and about 30deg pointed down. If I understand you question, clipped to the top of a cube wall (so it would be pointed down if it was at the "default" position,) you should have no problem pointing it up to a completely horizontal position. Boy I'm glad I don't work in a cubicle anymore......

I would think not because it has to hang straight down; not from an angle. We ended up returning the fan because the light casts dots on the surrounding walls. Really tacky. We called the parent company Ellington for design recommendations. They were very helpful. www.ellingtonfans.com

Joe, you can do it, but it will reduce the volume of air that it is pulling through. By reducing it may cause problems with the fan in the future.

No it can not. But, if you cut down the extension rod to the minimum length it will actually hang down less than a traditional looking flush mounted fan. What I did is a little bit of trial and error, trimming down the rod a bit at a time until i had it as short as possible. What limits you is the upper "cone" must go on first and then you must hook the fan to the ceiling bracket prior to securing the upper cone. A little tricky to try to explain, but I think I got the rod down to 2.5" or so in length.
