Ceiling Fan

Nikumba · 8 May 2018 at 12:58

Hi,

Looking to get a ceiling fan for the bedroom, been looking on Amazon and found one by Westinghouse https://www.amazon.co.uk/Westinghouse-Bendan-Ceiling-Fan-Chrome/dp/B00GZ9PC44/

Seems to have good reviews for the price.

Should I be looking at another make? model?

The style of the one I linked is the sort of style we want for the room.

Thanks

Wow I wish I had never sold mine if that is what they cost now! It is a brilliant ceiling fan. I had one for a number of years and sold it due to moving house and not being able to put it up in the new place. Now that I am buying I will most certainly be installing another in my new property!

Sounds good, I will get one ordered

Just to hijack this thread slightly. We've always wanted a ceiling fan but have never been able to find one we like with a built in light. Our new house has spotlights in the bedroom which opens up our choices hugely.

The bedroom is below a bathroom though. Does anyone know of any special precautions we need to take when installing it?

We've had that one albeit dark wood finish and it's happily been whiring away for four years now with now issues, bulbs blow occasionally but that's it. Nice and quiet with big blades moving lots of air

The one I linked to takes a R7 bulb and you can get LED versions of them

Dimmer function didn't work with any led bulbs fitted to my Westinghouse

Can you get down lights with built in ceiling fans?

I have a smaller Westinghouse one in my PC room. Makes a big difference

Only problem is they do hum. I don't think I could sleep with one on in the bedroom.

ubern00b · 9 May 2018 at 20:07

Mine didn't hum at all. The only noise from it was the sound of the blades through the air. Certainly slept many a night wuite hapikyh with it on full speed .

We have a hunter industrie 2. Its massive, expensive and excellent.

iMacMart · 9 May 2018 at 20:54

We put one up in our bedroom and it's been great, 3 x lights and 5 blades, the hum at the lowest level is kind of like white noise .... Perfect at highest speed for moving air on the warm summer nights!!

Couldn't go back to a standing fan now ....

Solus · 9 May 2018 at 21:35

I agree with the hum being like white noise, I can sleep with it no problem

So whats a good option if i want a fan, with no chains just a remote and with a light in? Possibly dimmable bulb too.

Depends on your budget I guess, The one in my OP would fit your criteria

Our house faces a main road so having the windows open at night is a no-go due to lorries passing...wouldn't be without the ceiling fan in the recent weather, life saver.

theone8181 · 17 Jul 2018 at 19:05

Does look pretty good. Is it OK just using the existing light fitting supply as I may end up having one on a dimmer but probably not dimming and running the fan at the same time. Would be in a bedroom too.
