Review on ๐Ÿ”Œ Ovlaim Modern 48 Inch DC Motor Ceiling Fan with Dimmable LED Light, Remote Control, and 4 Wood White Blades by Becky Duncan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great ceiling fan for the price

Like: - DC motor. I intend never to buy a device without it. They are quiet, powerful and consume significantly less electricity. The Energy Star rating shows electricity at $4 per year. The device is well constructed and relatively easy to install. Plan at least an hour. And having two people really helps. If your ceiling isn't designed for a fan, preparation is a big part of the installation. If you are unsure as a DIYer or simply want to replace another ceiling fan, you can hire a professional. Six speeds, easy color choice. We use 4000K lighting throughout the house and can set it to 4000K. - The light is bright enough. - 1H, 2H, 4H and 8H timer buttons. I hope they work. I'll find out later today. Dislikes: - Even though the fan is in a 22x26 room, it's unlikely we'll need anything other than the lowest of the six settings. A value of six would be more appropriate for powering an airplane than moving air in a room, or perhaps just advertising fan power. So leave setting six as is, but reduce other settings by changing the current setting 1 to the new setting 2. To change the temperature (color) of the light, you need to press the light on button, then the off button, then the on button. until you get a choice of three colors. I just have to press the light button again without turning it off every time. Or, even better, just use the switch with three light temperature settings so you can set and leave. The lights cannot be dimmed with their default settings. I'm not sure if it would be possible to mount the light part to a dimmer, but it would require some additional electrical know-how or a willingness to take risks through trial and error. The specified distance from the ceiling to the bottom of the lamp is incorrect. Try 14โ€ instead of the advertised 9.4โ€ with a short extension. The color temperature of the light of 8000 degrees K is also wrong. I think they just added 3000K + 5000K to get 8000K but they don't. The third setting, 'full light' (which appears to be the same brightness) matches our other 4000K lights. The proudly displayed label of the company did not meet my taste. Luckily it is only glued on and can be removed. - The 1H, 2H, 4H and 8H timer buttons, while a nice feature, give no indication that they are set to any timer other than beeping on the first press. - Using the controller is a bit of a guessing game (or maybe the instructions will tell you how to do what). I used the installation instructions but assumed the controller should be easy enough to understand without reading the manual. Yes, despite all the hardships, I still gave it 5 stars. I like the fan very much and can learn to live with my weaknesses.
