Ceiling fan

Yup it’s identical so you can easily swop them out without having to worry if it will fit.

The “canopy” is designed for it to slot into.

Cool. I actually removed mine from the housing so it would fit.

We bought 2 of them about 3 or 4 years ago. They work well, are nicely balanced and are fairly quiet. They push a good amount of air through. They are both still on the original remote batteries (that were not included...)

That is what I've got in my bed room and you're correct it does push a lot of air and the remote is cool

Was searching for ceiling fans and came across this thread.
What is the distance from the ceiling to the blades more or less?
Also is there enough space for a LED bulb? Some of the reviews I read of other ceiling fans the people complained that there was not enough space for the bulb?

It has an LED bulb in no problem, the distance between ceiling and fan is about 40cm

Great thanks!
Will measure the one I have in the kitchen tonight and see what is the distance.
The one in the kitchen is an Industrial fan, so no light.
Will be a problem for the living room.
That's why I'm looking at this one.

Does it take normal light bulbs? B22 or E27?

My fan's pull string switch for the light has given up the ghost and need something to replace it with.

Edit: Clarification

LOL.

Sadly it's the switch part that doesn't work. The original string is still there and like new condition. The switch doesn't work at all. It would've been fine if the light was in the on position when it broke. I could then just have used a smart bulb, but it was off and there's no way to switch it on now.

If it were me I would slap a sonoff ifan in it if you still like the fitting and everything else is in order.

You can also buy the pill string switches separately

The switch inside the fan itself? I'm totally clueless when it comes to electrical stuff.
