CRAFTMADE INTERNATIONAL

Overview

CRAFTMADE INTERNATIONAL (branded CRAFTMADE) is a U.S.-focused manufacturer and catalog brand known primarily for ceiling fans, decorative and functional lighting fixtures, and installation accessories. The company’s offering spans residential and light-commercial applications: indoor and damp-rated fans, wet-location outdoor wall and post-mounted lanterns, direct-burial posts, post adapters, glass shades and a wide range of fan controls and replacement light kits. Procurement professionals value Craftmade for the breadth of accessory compatibility that supports service, retrofit and small-install programs.

What the brand is known for

Craftmade’s core reputation rests on ceiling fans and the accessory ecosystem around them — fan motor variants (including reversible DC motor models), integrated and optional LED light kits, remotes and wall controls — plus an extensive outdoor lighting portfolio built around modular posts and post-adapters. The brand publishes product spec sheets, lookbooks and catalog supplements that make technical attributes and mounting options explicit, which is helpful for specification and maintenance workflows.

Main product families and technologies

• Ceiling fans: indoor, indoor/outdoor and wet-rated units; AC and reversible DC motor options with dedicated DC wall/handset controls; integrated LED fixtures and optional light kits.
• Lighting fixtures: outdoor wall lanterns, post-and-pad mount lighting, sconces and compact LED luminaires; wet-location ratings, seeded/clear glass options and multi-bulb lantern families.
• Posts & adapters: direct-burial and pad-mount posts in multiple finishes, adapter bases and post-head accessories; some posts include photocells or convenience outlets.
• Accessories & controls: replacement glass bells and globes, light kits, downrods, blade sets, remote modules and wall control families optimized for AC or DC motor platforms.

Common applications

Facilities and property managers, electrical contractors and maintenance teams commonly specify Craftmade products for retrofit, replacement and new-install work in multi-family, hospitality, landscape and residential projects where clear accessory cross-compatibility and published spec data reduce field risk.

How to identify models and parts (practical guidance)

• Use model numbers, SKUs and UPCs from product pages or spec sheets when ordering replacement parts.
• Download spec sheets and lookbooks to confirm wet/damp rating, lamp type, dimensions and mounting method.
• Confirm motor type and matched control family (DC fans require DC-specific controls).
• Use finish codes and family names (for example, Crossbend or Z-series posts/adapters) when cross-referencing parts.

Sourcing, replacement and procurement language

When requesting quotes include manufacturer name, full model/SKU, finish code and spec sheet revision. For legacy hardware supply measured dimensions where model IDs are missing. Specify environmental rating and approvals for commercial bids. Ask vendors for current spec sheets and warranty terms prior to purchase.
