[BlueOldMan]

Wow. Then next u can try do diy balancing fr yr wheels.

 

I saw 5th gear jeremy diy n use small coins n superglue instead of lead weights.

 

He can balance @@ easier than trying wheels ba

Hahaha

Ya, mine oso 60 n 5 blades

U bought the fan 100+ rite like mine oso this price range

I meant the other bro say got so many steps to balance

The price would be steep too

 

 

Er....mine that time is 500plus each incl light kit n installation.

 

Brand is Elmark. Ty give a lifetime guarantee on it.

ok, another calculation for me.. i intend to get 4 ceiling fan, bigger one at living while smaller ones in the rooms.

nowadays most items from china, maybe kdk in malaysia but no light.. so unlikely to be kdk

 

 

 

wah.. no choice..

buy 1 ceiling fan in sg, can get 2 over in malaysia.

still save..

 

any recommended installer?

oh, what happen if the blades are not balanced? noisy? but good part is more wind

 

 

if not balance you see the lighting kit shake lor......... [laugh]

[Tianmo]

It should be the fan no need the mc cos oreadi can spin with it's motor

Hahaha

 

 

more like the fan need a machine to stop it from spinning............ [laugh]

Ya my earlier smaller fan n my present 60" fans all e blades r made of wood.

 

I think wood sud b more lasting than plastic.

 

 

but I heard they slowing replacing the woods with plastic liao...........mayb because of cost ...........

Blades usually quite lasting be it wood or plastic............is the motor that is the issue with most ceiling fans...........so far all complaints I came across are abt the motor dying............

Plastic after some time exposed to uv light wil become brittle n disintegrate.

 

My motor was sold as big motor. Ty guarantee fr life. I ask how long is life. Ty say 15 yrs good already but mine already 15 yrs n all 5 fans still very good. I think easy 20-30yrs. Maybe more even.

 

Hope ty last cos quite troublesome to change celing fans.

Ive seen celing fans at relatives n frens old homes....usually brands like USHA...or sumtin like that...damm old.

 

Wobble wobble n got kraak kraak sound sumore but still working. I chked that brand is now made in india.

 

Ty r maybe 40 over yrs old n still working.

 

Thats why i install good celing fans. Can last forever....dun take up space.....n gives very natural breeze.

 

I still hv a couple of stand fans in storeroom as stand-by just in case its needed but seldom used at all.

Oh then I'm wrong with the prices

There's a new type of ceiling fan that has 6 speed and can reverse direction for air circulation instead of "blowing". It also save 60% electricity over conventional ones.

If interested PM me, I pass you the contact.
