I always have a fear in ceiling fan since young that it will drop and kar my head away [dead]  and I believe I am not alone in this kinda fear :psychotic:

 

I am the other way round. Not afraid of it falling. But afraid of it hitting my hands when I raised my hands. Esp when changing clothes, kena few times. [sweatdrop] Lucky low speed, only bruising.

Been procrastinating with my ceiling fan replacement DIY.  The new DC KDK fan was ordered from online source at decent price with delivery and local warranty. Delivery was pretty fast within a few days of ordering.

 

Today decided to get off my bums to get it done. 

 

Unboxing:

New fan hooked up with the new rubber bung for the hook. All the wires trimmed (cut off the old mashed up oxidised bare ends)  and connected in the following order ground-neutral-live:

Attached the covers securely and we are good to go!

Few comments,  although both old and new models are 5 blades and same blade length,  the DC model is much much lighter. 

 

The medium speed for DC model is equivalent to my maximum for the old AC model. At max speed,  the DC is almost like a mini typhoon...  :o 

 

Most importantly.... The new DC model is damn quiet compared to the old AC model! 

 

Overall very satisfied with the purchase and exchange some elbow grease and a t-shirt of sweat DIYing for $50-$80.

 

  Satisfaction of DIY..... Priceless...  :D . Dioh boh @mustank? [sly]

If you are fixing onto a concrete slab, best to use a eye ring raw blot. For false ceiling, the mounting on the ceiling grid to ensure the fan is secured is very important. Fan turning movement cause vibrations and mounting is very important.

 

Also need to be careful to ensure when you lift your hands, it is below the fan blades. Sometimes when playing with kids, don't lift them high around ceiling fans.

 

I like ceiling fans, it is one of the most effective cooling appliances for our weather.

I kiasi, I fitted it directly to the concrete ceiling slab with oversize wall anchors, had to drill a few holes as some holes hit the rebar in the slab.

 

my ceiling height created a different problem, it needed a long tube version of the fan otherwise those standard length fan will be too far from the floor.

KDK. If want really cheap, then JB is the way.

 

Don't be afraid to buy the Panasonic model equivalent also as it can be cheaper too.
