Will Smoke Lid Let In More Light On MaxxFan Roof Vent
Updated 05/12/2026 | Published 05/09/2026
Question:
I purchased 3 Max Air fans MA00A04401K. They have the white lid. Great fan. I want to replace it with the smoked lid MA10A4009K I presume?. I need more light so I assume the smoke will let more light in. Am I correct? I would love a translucent lid but none available at this time for that fan. I would regret buying the smoked lids if Max air decides to come out with the translucent ones. So to sum it up- do I have the correct number for the smoked lid and will it let in more light than my white ones and will they make a translucent lid in the near future? Love Naomi. Shes a great representative for your company. Lovely to talk to and very patient. She’s the reason I buy from etrailer. Thank you for your time.

Hey Matt! The smoke lid # MA10A40009K will fit and is more translucent. However, the light will be a little different since these are tinted, so more like sunglasses. The white still lets light in it just diffuses it so it can appear to be brighter.
You will also get more heat from the smoke lid vs the white. I'm not saying it's a bad choice, but I do want to manage expectations. I don't expect a completely translucent lid anytime in the future so the smoke is the next best thing.
I'll make sure to pass your kind words along. Naomi really is fantastic, and we’re lucky to have her on the team!

I replaced the original white vents with the max air with the smoke colored lids. They are not as bright as the white lids which is what I was after. I live in west Texas so they are hotter but I run both fans to pull the air out so that part is fine for me. Hope this helps.
