FYI Ceiling Fan

Yes, DC produces much more torque, and is easier to adjust to infinite speeds. It is a very well built fan.

Are you advertising for that company? It is a fan the same and possibly equal to a dozen other brands - nothing more and nothing less.

Garage door operators are many times DC motors. Not uncommon.

Does this connect to the A/C house circuits? Or is it truly a D/C unit? If it is a D/C fan, what voltage? Thank you.

Sorry, it is AC, with a DC motor, ?? Yea I wonder what wattage it would pull if straight DC, but this make is a lot cheaper, as it can be mass produced for the general market, I am sitting under it now at speed 1 with air in down flow. This is the best money I ever spent.

I have been looking at AC ceiling fans that use DC motors for years, they are not cheap. Looked again this year, and found that Lowe's now carried one such fan, and it is a real monster. It is a 9 blade, called a Slinger, 300$ at their on line site, and it is not my stores.. 6 speed each way, stats from memory, 9400 CFM, 293 CFM per watt. Put my fluke on it and it appears to be pulling 28 watts wide open. I need to do another amp test, might be a little bit lower.

Very well made and machined,, installation was a breeze, made by the same company that sells through the net name Fanimation, Customer support was instantaneous, USA in Indiana. This thing moves mountains of air, in a very pleasant manner, It covers our 22 X 32 family room very nicely, in reverse.

Forgot to note that this fan is 72 inches
