In April Fantasia will be exhibiting at one of the biggest lighting shows in the world: Light + Building, Frankfurt.
Here’s more about it:
The world’s biggest trade fair for lighting and intelligent buildings
The self-sufficient and sustainable use of energy is a subject of rapidly increasing importance in the modern world. The main theme of Light+Building 2012 is energy efficiency. The focal points are buildings as a green power station and the digitalisation of light and buildings
Around 2,100 exhibitors take part in Light+Building at Frankfurt Fair and Exhibition Centre and almost one in two of the over 183,000 visitors comes from outside Germany. After Germany, the top ten visitor nations are The Netherlands, Italy, Austria, France, Switzerland, Great Britain, China, Spain, Belgium and Sweden. The most important visitor target groups are architects, interior architects, designers, planners, engineers, artisans, the distributive trades and industry
Light+Building is a trade fair, open to trade visitors only, access is not available to private visitors.

Ceiling Fans & Aircon – A match made in heaven?
I read an interesting article recently about using ceiling fans and aircon in the same area
One thing that stood out was the following paragraph:
- Install energy efficient ceiling fans and run them on hot days. If it’s just a little too warm for comfort, use the ceiling fan without air conditioning. If it’s hot enough to require air conditioning, using the ceiling fans at the same time allows you to raise the temperature setting by five degrees, which will reduce your costs. Use the ceiling fan only when you’re in the room, because running the fan doesn’t actually lower the temperature. The moving air increases the amount of evaporation from your skin and helps cool you off

Ceiling Fan Question Time 6 – Wiring
I’m afraid I have to preface this blog entry with the usual disclaimer that before starting any electrical work you should ensure you have ‘all pole disconnection’ from the unit you are working on. I should also say that if you are unsure about anything to do with wiring and electrical work in general then consult a qualified electrician.
I’m not saying this because connecting a ceiling fan to a lighting circuit is difficult, it’s not, it’s just that when someone does something stupid then they tend to want to blame someone else. All I’m saying is that if you are that sort of person then don’t use this guide. Fantasia Ceiling Fans won’t be responsible for any loss, damage or anything else resulting from this blog entry.
Right, now down to the questions you may have :
Q. Does a Fantasia Ceiling Fan use the standard lighting circuit?
A. Yes
Q. Do I need to run the fan from a fused spur?
A. That would be recommended but not essential
Q. Can I control the fan and light separately?
A. This is a question that always makes me laugh. Do you really think that you could only have the light on when the fan is on and vice versa? Do you think that would be a good product? No it wouldn’t and therefore all Fantasia Fans have independently controllable fan and light functions.
Q. Can I control the fan from the permanent live and the light from the switched live
A. Yes, this is an option and some people do it but we prefer to only use the switched live for isolation purposes.
Q. Are fan lights dimmable
A. If the fan comes with a remote control or wall control then the answer is yes. If the fan light just has a pull cord then the light will just have on/off functionality.

Ceiling Fan Question Time 5 – Blade Options
Q. Is it possible to change the blades on a ceiling fan. I want to order the Pewter Viper but would prefer the Silver Blade Option
A. Yes this is perfectly possible. One of the many excellent features of a Fantasia fan is that you can change the blades within the range. This means that you could have white blades on a Chrome Mayfair or gloss black blades on a White Mayfair if you wish.
For a full run-down of which blades are available for which fan please see below. If you need more information then call our sales office on 01959 564440. Click on the image below to get a larger version or click here to have a paper catalogue posted to you.
