Abstract
A water resistant ceiling fan having first and second sealing members for preventing the entry of moisture into both the canopy and the motor housing. The canopy sealing member has a substantially flat top portion which fits flush against the ceiling, and a downwardly depending annular wall which encircles the top portion of the canopy. The motor housing sealing member is disposed intermediate the top portion of the housing and an adapter secured to the lower end of a downrod, the upper end of which is secured to the canopy. The sealing members effectively prevent moisture from entering through the interface between the canopy and the ceiling, and the interface between the adapter and the motor housing.
