When the blades are retracted, the fixture reads as a conventional crystal chandelier — appropriate in rooms where the visual presence of fan blades at rest conflicts with the interior’s design intention. The matte black hardware provides contrast against the crystal elements without the visual weight of a chrome or polished finish. Available in three diameters: 42\", 48\", and 52\". Quiet reversible DC motor with Summer and Winter modes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCLL-101115 (42\") \/ CLL-101116 (48\") \/ CLL-101117 (52\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Span\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e42\" \/ 48\" \/ 52\" (D106 \/ D122 \/ D132 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMatte Black hardware\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRetractable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMotor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReversible DC (Summer \/ Winter modes)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight Source\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntegrated LED array\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDownrods\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4\" and 8\" included (custom lengths available)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSloped Ceiling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 15° (adapter included)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e110–120V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrice Range\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e$405 (42\") \/ $443 (48\") \/ $481 (52\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDesign\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe retractable blade mechanism is the functional resolution to a long-standing tension in ceiling fan design: a fan that looks like a chandelier when it is off is a fan that looks like a chandelier when it matters most. This fixture from the \u003cstrong\u003eRmodern Home Collection\u003c\/strong\u003e uses matte black hardware as the structural element that anchors the crystal elements — a deliberate departure from the polished chrome or antique gold frames that typically support crystal pendant arrays. The matte surface absorbs rather than reflects ambient light, which means the crystal elements are the primary light-scattering surface rather than the frame. The DC motor’s Summer\/Winter reversibility is a specification that is rarely highlighted in crystal fan design but is practically significant: warm air recirculation in winter is as useful in a high-ceiling dining room as summer cooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere It Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFormal Living Room or Salon\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a living room where a crystal chandelier has been the intended overhead fixture and a ceiling fan was a reluctant compromise, the retractable blade format removes the compromise. Blades retract to expose the chandelier silhouette for formal occasions or photography; they extend for everyday airflow. The 52\" span at full extension covers rooms up to approximately 320–400 sq ft. Pair with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.rmodern.com\/collections\/wall-lights\"\u003ewall-mounted sconces\u003c\/a\u003e for layered ambient lighting that supplements the chandelier output without competing with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFormal Dining Room\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbove a dining table where the fixture is viewed from a seated position, the crystal elements at eye-adjacent ceiling level refract ambient light across the room’s surface planes. The 48\" diameter is proportionate for a table seating 6–8 in a room of 200–280 sq ft. The LED array provides consistent overhead illumination without the color temperature variation that can occur across multiple separate bulbs in a traditional chandelier.

The 42\" diameter is proportionate for a primary bedroom under 200 sq ft. The matte black hardware works against both white and darker ceiling surfaces without the visual competition of a reflective finish.

Downrods of 4\" and 8\" are included; custom lengths are available for high ceilings. A sloped ceiling adapter (up to 15°) is included. Confirm your ceiling junction box is fan-rated before mounting. The retractable blade mechanism is factory-assembled and does not require separate configuration during installation. Most flat-ceiling installations take under 90 minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat light source is used, and does it work with a dimmer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fixture uses an integrated LED array. No separate bulb installation is required. For wall dimmer compatibility, confirm the dimmer is rated for LED loads and DC fan motors; standard incandescent-only dimmers are not suitable and may cause flicker or LED module damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat diameter is right for my room?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 42\" (D106cm) is suited to rooms up to approximately 200 sq ft; the 48\" (D122cm) for 200–280 sq ft; and the 52\" (D132cm) for up to approximately 320–400 sq ft. Allow a minimum of 18 inches of blade clearance from any wall when blades are extended. For rooms above 400 sq ft, consider two units or a 60\"+ fan from our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.rmodern.com\/collections\/ceiling-fan-light\"\u003eceiling fan range\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow do I clean the crystal elements and matte black hardware?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrystal elements: dry microfibre cloth or a crystal-cleaning spray applied to the cloth first, not directly to the fixture. Matte black hardware: dry cloth only — avoid abrasive pads or chemical cleaners that can strip the matte coating. Always isolate power at the wall before cleaning. Do not use water near the motor housing or wiring connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the shipping timelines and packaging?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eShips within 3–5 business days. US standard delivery 7–12 business days from dispatch. Crystal elements are individually wrapped within a segmented foam-insert carton. Report freight damage within 48 hours of delivery with photographs. Tracking provided at dispatch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the return and warranty policy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eReturns accepted within 30 days for items in original, uninstalled condition. Installed fixtures are not eligible for standard return. A 1-year structural warranty covers motor failure, retractable blade mechanism defects, and LED module faults under normal residential use at 110–120V. Crystal element damage caused by installation handling is outside warranty scope.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rmodern","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ D106cm \/ 42","offer_id":47168953647206,"sku":"CLL-101115","price":405.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ D122cm \/ 48","offer_id":47168953679974,"sku":"CLL-101116","price":443.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ D132cm \/ 52","offer_id":47168953712742,"sku":"CLL-101117","price":481.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/3657\/2518\/files\/AntizerVintageCrystalCeilingFanLamp.webp?v=1789318940","url":"https:\/\/rmodern.com\/products\/retractable-blade-crystal-chandelier-ceiling-fan-matte-black","provider":"RModern","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
