Apologies, yes this will work fine. I thought it was the standard 1" length type based on the preview image
Buy a bit longer than you need, so that the hook end will still be openly accessible by say around 2" after the plaster ceiling is up.
Fan's plastic cup will hide the hook. It will be no easy feat to access and tighten the fan mounting nuts if you hide the hook itself completely inside the plaster ceiling as the fan will be installed AFTER plaster ceiling is up.

See what's connected to the terminal block..white for L, black for N.

Replacing a dead ceiling fan can be DIY because all the hard parts - mounting point (hook) and power already exist.
Just need a ladder and a few tools only. All the instruction is inside the new fan box. In terms of pandemic risk I feel its safer to have it done in-house rather than engaging an installer.

You'll need to have:
a PH2 + screw driver
a small - screw driver (test pen)
a few RM2 spanners (Venus or similar elcheapo brand will do) in 12/13/14mm (adjustable spanner head may be too fat to fit)
a small pliers preferably needle nose type

Remember to turn off the whole DB box before start work.

Nice to have but the problem is whether there will be continued software updates as new android or ios version come out..then they tell you your fan too old to be supported and wont be releasing update for the fan app? kena burn before by canon scanner, hardware is OK but stuck in era of windows XP if you want to use it.

Good to have but I think a standard IR remote add one button to cycle the lamp brightness would suffice.

True figure only by lumens, fan integrated light would probably work for a small room but generally any standalone, surface mount osram or philips 10/20W LED should be brighter and easy enough to install. The problem comes when u wanna fix the LED after a few years. In the old days of 90s fan those come with bulb holders E14 E27 - integrated LED (SMT mounted on PCB) may not be so simple to replace (not plug and play) if you don't do soldering as part of your day job.

Electrical store panel installer should be good. Although this is ceiling fan thread, where most ceiling fans can be self installed if the hook and power point already ready.

You can try asking at aircon thread https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3602667/+10400

KDK vtouch jr, for living room

Your capacitor good stuff or random brand one?

Ori BM/Pana/Tenta should work, beware of fake BMs floating around.. they work also lah but longevity matters (since u don't want to climb up and pull the PCB often). Want really good one I think those Jalan Pasar stores will have those Kemet, Nichicon, Rubycon atas brands etc.

Depends on room size and where the hook is and clearance (full height wardrobe?)

Room either 3 blade 42in baby fan or use the normal 4 bladed 56in
Living room can use 56in 4 blade

4 bladed easier to balance than 5 blade.

Depending on budget..and approx price
500 gets you Sensa 4 is very nice 9 speed yuragi and legendary ABS blade
400 gets you Vtouch Jr with 5 spd, yuragi and ABS blade.
300 4 metal blade, remote n no yuragi
150 3 blade school fan using regulator.

if can afford the Sensa 4 is a damn good fan.
I will avoid Pana becoz of poor QC on the metal blade remote bayoo 4.

I just decommissioned a 1997 era old Deka and replaced with Sensa 4. KDK, worth every sen.

U want to buy over my headache (windless Bayu 4 runtime less than 1 week) at half price ?

see
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...ost&p=102679347

usually I buy online on shopee during sales.
300 can get that remote model but metal blade. Also works pretty well.
https://shopee.com.my/product/57527831/11359113490

Nowadays shopee wisened up liao..hard to get fan with cheap shipping. Its not heavy 7kg or so but the courier smart to charge volumetric. So u could get it around 300-330 street price for K14XZ (latest Z series)

I bought at 26x. 130 fullset w receipt, box, screws, everything.

Yes. For this u shud get a Sensa 4, yuragi function will make it feel more natural and less pening due to overcooling.

Its not that difficult to DIY, IF you can get a scissor jack rental.

Most likely due to long rod it will be using the traditional regulator type.

Ok lah. Avoid Pana (Bayoo series) and the brand that sounds like Diku (blade cracking and breaking off is real). Got budget, Sensa 4 is worth every penny.

Between sensa 4 and sensa 5, extra one blade and longer blades 60in vs 56in on sensa 4. Same motor inside.

There is about 10pc more air delivery, if your living room is bigger than normal can go for sensa 5. If normal size one sensa 4 more than enough.

Flourescent lamp also a great source of UV.

Ahh nice, point alr ready very easy to do.
Go with KDK K14ZX 2021 model. 56in would be fine if the end result not scraping wall ie if hook is centered in the room.

Moshon 70in fan.. Sensa 5 is 60in
Due to the size, it really has +30% more cfm (air delivery per min) over the Sensa 5 but the price almost 300% of a Sensa 5

It'll be cool to have such a huge fan ($ and space permitting).. one last thing - u might wanna double check your lighting locations to make sure the Moshon blades don't block the lights and cause disco effect

Basic KDK K12V0 will be bulletproof.
Just need to hook up the regulator box.

Can consider using wall fan. The KDK KC-4GR has very long throw (imagine those event tube display)..the airflow is like that tube shape

I successfully sold off my "windless" 2018 Pana Bayu 4 metal blade and replaced it with a similar class of 2021 KDK K14XZ metal blade. Now my tissue paper can fly off the table in the same room

Between KDK vs Pana yes they come out the same factory but built to different standards (diff assy line)..KDK line is tasked w/assemble only as per spec, cannot modify w/o approval from JP principal..so the components are constant for that model.

Whereas for Pana..they hold the licence..they own the factory..they have full rights to cost cutting. The few bucks delta between KDK vs Pana is NOT worth saving. It look similar on the outside..but the insides eg the motor used, that is a nice spot to cut corners. They are similar class (design n price range); but I would NOT call them identical.

---
For the car porch I think having a wall fan KC-4GR to blow out a tube of hot air will cool you down better. Because of this "tube" it gets rid of hot air trapped.. like an exhaust fan that can swivel.

Ceiling fan recirc the hot air from top (near the ceiling) to blow downwards. It may not cool down much.

A1 for the price, better take KDK Vtouch JR ~low 400's. Mitsu is not that well-known for fan.
A2 for the price, better take KDK Sensa 4 ~low 500's. Pana cost cutting not worth it.
These KDK ABS blade fan make helluva lots of wind. That blade design is legendary

they are usually available pretty cheap on shopee promo when coupled with CC promos.
the only thing is not all shop offer with cheap shipping ~rm12/box, so u have to hunt lah.
but ceiling fan no need worry there's more foam than anything else in the box.. very well packed to withstand couriers.
