a lot of remote controlled ceiling fan auto-turnon the fan with speed 2 or speed 3 if you switch it on thru the main switch!! ie. my Alpha fan auto speed 3, and eurouno auto turnon at speed 2 , i think! And this is not resettable.. That is annoying, if you are those who doesn't enjoy strong blowing air you would have to adjust the speed via the remote everytime you turn it on! So, if i have to change the fan I will no doubt go back to regulator type.

And beware when you are buying Alpha remote controlled ceiling fan. Alpha remote is using RF, I've 3 alpha fans installed upstairs in all my rooms...and due to this RF signal, if you try to set the speed via one remote, the other fan in the other room will get the signal too!! if anyone found a solution pls share here!

Well for panasonix remote fan, if don't what the speed to be reseted. I just need to off the fan using remote.

But iu usually just off from main switch because I got no problem adjusting speed usin remote after just switching it on tru the main

i wonder is there option we can choose those remote control to those manual control , 3 blade fan....

Only way to find out is to read the manual I guess

there is a dip switch in the Alpha remote and the ceiling fan itself, I made a change to one of the ceiling fan and it is now only works on that set...problem solved now.

I purchased the low-ceiling model: 218/3B-HG. Haven't collected them yet!... nice black semi-matt surface that looks like it's Teflon coated!

PS - It's a Regulator type. I am not "THAT" lazy to need a remote control lah for a ceiling fan!!! Not like I am living in a bungalow and the switch is at the West wing or something haha.

i have low ceiling for my kitchen, i am comparing between 2 fans eg. 4 blades yuragi (length 30.6cm) vs Panasonic
Baby Fan (length 250 mm) ..

i am interested in the Pana Baby Fan.... but can I install it on a plaster ceiling ? what is the meaning of ball joint
installation ?

For most baby fans, you don't need hook to install and it can be mounted on the plaster ceiling. However, you need to have a block of wood to stabilize/secure it on the other side (ie the above the plaster ceiling).

baby fan look cute but why it is so expensive?
more powerful than normal 3 blade fan?

I would think most people bought baby fan not because it is cute but rather than due to space constraint (either height or width). The cooling capacity of a typical baby fan (in CFM) is about 6000+. Most normal fans' CFM is from 7000-8800. As a comparison, stand fans' CFM ranges from only 1500-3000 max. So baby fan is still the best option of cooling after air cond and full size fans. I am using baby fan for my wet kitchen for the area away from the hob/hood but due to staggered ceiling height, I could not put a full size fan there. So for me, it has nothing to do with cuteness.

hi bhtan,

can share your baby fan together with your wet kitchen photos?

My renovation work is still currently in progress and all the appliances including fans will only be installed once everything else is done. I will post as soon as it is done in early July..

the lighting shop recommends me to us the normal panasonic 48" inch normal (with regulator) 3 blades
fan... and use shorter connector 4"..

On a separate note, has anyone bought either the KDK k15Z9 or the Panasonic FM15E6. Both are higher range fans from the companies. I am leaning towards buying the KDK model.

is that model different with the 218-3B (i mean the surface finishing, besides the fan rod difference). HOw much u bought it? is white n black color also price the same?

Added on June 13, 2011, 10:38 pmwas looking into this model also as it is suitable for low ceiling....but the pricing is killing, in kdk website it shows rm6xx......wow!!! close to an air-cond price!!!

Yes, the KDK K15Z9 is about RM600. It can vary speed based on temperature sensor. It also has LED light although it is more decorative type. It may be approaching cheap 1HP aircon price but fan still use less electricity.

sensa 4 using the sensor=quite expensive.. gy is gold and cl is grey..best price is shop in jalan pasar i think.. i ve been surveying all these prices..

Does anyone know which shop has the Panasonic F-M14E8 in stock?

Panasonic F-M14E8

i'm buying from one shop in cheras, however they are out of stock and ordered from Panasonic, still Panasonic says no available stock. the sales guy told me seems like the this fan is out of stock for "the whole world". wondering if this is true or not...

hi guys, im going to start installing fans soon to my new place, so i'm quite new to this
for the measurements so will fit nicely into the ceiling, i need to look at 2 things rite?
- the diameter of the fan (usually 56" and 58")
- the length of which the fan will hang down from ceiling

the diameter i understand but the height of the fan usually is given on the fan specification rite? on the box? from one end to another? or just reach the blades? sorry quite new in this sorta thing

thx

Edit : I'm amazed at how bad DEKA sales is. Called in and the lady who answers is so blur about everything. When I asked about contact person / dealer for Sabah & Sarawak, she told me she give me the one who does transport. Transport!! what the heck do you connect me to transport? Then I ask is the transport person in charge of import and export, yes. Okay, feel i'm not gonna talk much more to her I called to the 'transport'
A lady answered, she said Sabah & Sarawak no dealers, only got middle man, so she promised me to sms me his contact. One day passed, nothing so i reminded her, replied with just the name and company, not his contact no. so i sms'ed her again. that's today so im still waiting. Duno why she gave info also half half one, how to contact?

I think I won't be getting Deka soon. not I dun wan but i think they dun wan our business for this side...
