Attachment DeletedAttachment DeletedAttachment Deleteddoes anyone know the name of this key largo fan. It's four bladed, early 80's and one of the most defining features; 2 variable speed nobs. I got it off of ebay and there's another one that I think is still for sale. I repainted it black, which is what it came in. the wires are in pretty rough shape though.I believe these come in at least two other finishes (brown and w&b) i have only seen these in 3 other places, i'll show soon. I also heard that these were re-labeled "buckmade air mover" or something along those lines. It's also 52" and NOT a "Key Largo I". other important things are that the switch housing is kind of slanted and one of the nobs is a snap switch (off, on, and reverse) and the other is a standard variable speed control. it uses a G.E. motor. anything helps!

I have a fan hobby, like most of us on here. In other words, I am just your average fan collector.

Fantasticfans is incorrect. What you have is a Las Brisas ceiling fan. These have no relation to Key Largo whatsoever. Just be careful when setting the fan down on the switch housing. The plastic "spider" assembly that holds the downrod to the motor and motor housing can break thanks to how brittle it can become. Here is an instruction manual to a Las Brisas fan, mentioning one of the knobs being a Variable speed knob while the other is a reverse switch. iheartfans.me/document/las-brisas-installation-manual/ |

Interesting, never even heard of these. What are some of the defining factors of these?

Interesting, never even heard of these. What are some of the defining factors of these? There is not much about these fans online but they had maybe around 2-4 specific models made by this brand. But two characteristics that seem to be prominent on Las Brisas fans are the thick plastic spiders on the top of the motor that connect the downrod together, and the two knobs in the switch housing. There are some other components that are prominently seen in Las Brisas fans such as the 6 spoke flywheel with aggressive fins, the relatively flat switch cap and the bell canopy most often seen with these fans. I won't doubt it if there are some components that these share with Key Largo products, but the particular components mentioned above are sort of "special" and more often seen on a lot of Las Brisas fans. |
