For those who are planning to buy Deka Ceiling Fan 60", let me share with you my experience.
I bought all 6 Deka Ceiling Fan 1.5  years back, Year 2013. Today, 7 April 2014- they were all not working.
My whole house exudes badly burnt motor smell and we're choking at home.

I thought it was the aircond that was burnt or the air purifier got electrical shocks and turned off all of them and open up all the windows to air out the badly burnt smell. We're on stand by with fire extinguishers in case there's some electrical sparks somewhere.

After half an hour, the smell as still bad, when I checked on the fan, it was not working. I thought it should turn on the fan so air out the place. When I pressed the remote control speed 1,2,3 there's a normal 'toot' sound but the fan isn't moving. I waited because usually when you press Speed 1, you have to wait for 3-5 seconds for the fan blade to start spinning. Somehow, everyone came to check what was amissed and finally can pin point to the DEKA fan not working anymore.

Can't believe that this fan failed so quickly. My KDK fans without Remote Control have been spinning daily for the last 15 years without fail. So for those of you who're getting Ceiling fans in bulk for your new house of something, I spent this time to alert you of what would happen. Buyers aware.

Either duds with faulty pcb or motor or wire gauged too strongly for fan ie letting higher current than fan able to take or wiring too weak to handle current demand for fan that affected its electronics.

after reading a bit here and there and w the recent posting on voltage dip/sag, I wonder if the phenomenon adequately explains why there's such a hit and miss with fans that uses remote control or electronics.
