GE Fan Lamp – Chrome:

Introduced to the world in 1938, the General Electric Vortalex Fans were built to keep America cool in a difficult World War II era. GE continued producing the popular Vortalex Fans until the 1960s when fans were eclipsed by the more affordable household cooling systems. While today an original Vortalex fan may collect dust in a basement or attic, I take pride in transforming the GE Vortalex Fan in a way that preserves the history while repurposing its function for a 21st century home or business.

I meticulously preserve each and every part of the fan as it was first created, even down to re-polishing the original screws. The blades are then carefully removed and the fan rewired for the addition of classic Edison-style light bulbs. Each repurposed Vortalex fan lamp has a distinct look and can be made-to-order.

Illuminate history in your next space with an original Dan Cordero Fan Lamp!

All lighting and hardware products are assembled in our facility in Charlotte, NC. When an order is placed, it enters a production queue and typically requires 2-3 weeks to complete (excluding our custom globe chandeliers which have an 8 week lead time). We do not stock inventory, and each item is produced just for you by an expert artisan. Our process involves activities such as powder coating, woodworking, chemical aging, lacquering, painting, wiring, testing, packaging, and more, and we do our very best to complete your order in a timely fashion.

For larger orders of 10 or more items, we will contact you if we are not able to meet our quoted lead time. If you need a fixture sooner or on a specific date, please feel free to contact us as soon as possible, and we’ll do our best to accommodate.
