Lighting And Ceiling Fans

View:

Frankly speaking, though it may seem pretty odd, but one of the first things that I noticed about the United States of America was that there were no ceiling fans here. I mean to a person who has grown up with ceiling fans all his life, the lack of them was a sore point. I still clearly remember the first time I saw a ceiling fan. I mean, I had always had a ceiling fan in every room of the house, but the first time I got up, close and personal was when I was around twelve years old.

Back then we had a servant maid who used to take care of the cleaning around the house. However, it so happened that one day, she didn't show up as usual. And mom had planned a huge spring cleaning effort. So, without wasting any time in going on with her plan, she roped me in to assist her with the cleaning. And being small and quick (in her opinion, needlessly so) I was given the task of cleaning the ceiling fans. The first thing I did was place two chairs atop one another in order to reach the ceiling fan. That was the first time in my life when I went up to see the ceiling fan.

Something that looked so clean from below and provided so much air was a dirty piece of metal suspended from the roof. A big ugly hook answered my questions as to how the ceiling fan managed to stay on the ceiling. And below that hook, or rather, covering it was a plastic upturned bowl that seemed to do nothing more than collects dirt. And below this was the main part of the ceiling fan that included a big, round base from which three fin like objects protruded at obtuse angles. All of them had a fine layer of dust on top and solid grime attached to the edges. I held my nose, prayed that the chairs would stay upright and began the job of cleaning our ceiling fan.

This routine was repeated at least seven times. Yes Like I mentioned earlier, nearly every room had a ceiling fan and the livelihood room had two to cover the entire area. At the end of the day, I was pooped and exhausted. But the tiredness seemed to be worth it when mom made me a glass of cool lemonade and I sank into a chair as the ceiling fans I had cleaned steadily and continuously whirred round and round providing me with cool breeze.

Lighting And Ceiling Fans

Ceiling fans with their 120 years of history saw some revolutionary changes in the design and style and the latest being the ceiling fan with a remote control which has buttons to turn the fan off or on, regulate the speed or reverse the wind flow.

A good ceiling fan should have the capacity for higher delivery of air with less noise, less wobbling, longer usage, good paint which will resist corrosion and scratching. The design should adhere to all the mandatory safety regulations.

Aerodynamics in the fan results in air delivery. Aerodynamic design includes factors such as angle of the blades, depth of the blade, rotations per minute and the design of the motor. Higher RPM highlighted by the manufacturers does not mean higher delivery of air.

Ceiling fans are available in sizes of 56”, 48”, 42”, 36” and 24’’. Higher air circulation can be achieved by using a ceiling fan with a bigger blade surface.

People normally have a wrong notion that more blades in a ceiling fan will result in more air circulation. It is totally wrong. A 4 blade ceiling fan and 3 blade ceiling fan will deliver same amount of air.

To get best results from the ceiling fan, install them so that the height of the plane of rotation of the blades is nearly 8 feet from the ground. Similarly ensure that the height of the ceiling is just 1 feet from the plane of rotation of the blades.

To ensure proper delivery of air, check the room size, ventilation, and fan size. Increase the speed to maximum and then check at different locations of room for good air delivery. Ensure that the angle of the blade is fixed as per the instruction manual.

Wipe the dust accumulated in the ceiling fan, using a moist or soft cloth. To preserve the gloss of the paint, avoid using detergents and soaps to clean the fan. Avoid applying too much pressure when you are cleaning the fan since it might change the angle of the blades.

The technology in a table or pedestal fan is similar to the ceiling fan. When buying a table or desk fan ensure it operates quietly without too much noise, oscillates smoothly, and has a heavy duty metal housing and a good speed controller.

If you are bored with looking at a drab and plain table fan you can spend approx $35 and get a table fan which has illuminated LEDs. With random selection technology the illumination changes its pattern and designs of lighting.
