In countries with warm climates all year round, such as Singapore, ceiling fans are essential to keep your home cool. Beyond their functionality, ceiling fans have versatile designs that can be chosen depending on your home style, adding elegance to your space. Enhance comfort and improve air circulation in your home with our ceiling fans with lights. From sleek to elegant designs, discover the best type of ceiling fan from Sims Lighting Gallery.
Types of Ceiling Fans
3 Blades Ceiling Fan
3-blade ceiling fans offer both simplicity and efficiency. These small ceiling fans are best for compact spaces, providing ample airflow with a touch of sleekness to contemporary homes.
5 Blades Ceiling Fan
5-blade ceiling fans are suitable for larger homes and spaces, such as living rooms or family rooms, due to their powerful airflow.
Corner Fan
For an even more space-saving option, corner fans are a great choice. They are designed to fit into a room’s corner and still give efficient circulation. They are also a smart solution to provide airflow in awkward spaces or areas where standard ceiling fans may not fit.
Designer Fan
Designer fans are an elevated form of ceiling fans. They are crafted artistically to make a statement beyond practical functionality. Available in minimalist to luxurious styles, designer fans usually come with premium materials and more advanced technology, ensuring smoother operation and long-lasting performance.
Smart Ceiling Fan
With the rise of modern smart homes in Singapore, smart ceiling fans are an excellent way to enjoy a personalised cooling experience. These fans can be easily integrated into their smart home system and usually come with built-in features that allow homeowners to control the fan speed, direction, and lighting.
Ceiling Fan with LED Light vs. Ceiling Fan with Non-LED Light
A ceiling fan with lights offers a dual-purpose solution, combining both air circulation and lighting in a single installation. The lights usually come in the option of LED or non-LED.
Ceiling fans with LED lights generally have better longevity, as you do not have to change the bulb as frequently as non-LED lights. At the same time, LED lights are also more eco-friendly and have better energy efficiency.
On the other hand, ceiling fans with non-LED lights may have a lower initial purchase price. You can also choose to install any type of light bulb that matches the other bulbs in your space. Keep in mind that incandescent or halogen bulbs may lead to higher electricity bills.
How to Choose the Right Ceiling Fan
With all the different types of ceiling fans available, it can be confusing when deciding on the best one for your home. Here are some key considerations when selecting a ceiling fan:
Room Size and Height
In general, the bigger the room, the longer the fan blade is needed to circulate air effectively. Also, make sure your fan size is proportionate to your overall space to prevent overcrowding the layout. If the room has lower ceilings, such as bedrooms, flush-mount or hugger ceiling fans are a great way to maintain safety and functionality.
Fan Style and Colour
Ceiling fans are more often used for their functionality rather than as a statement piece. Choosing one with a neutral colour, such as white or metallic, creates a cohesive look. For those who prefer adding a touch of contrast and making it a focal point in the room, bolder colours or wooden finishes work best. An exception is black, although it is a bold colour, it is actually quite versatile and blends seamlessly into modern or industrial homes.
Motor Quality
Homeowners may not realise how noisy ceiling fans can be until they install one. Invest in a fan with a high-quality motor, as this means less noise and more longevity. Higher quality motors also mean better performance, allowing the room to cool down faster even on hot days.
Lighting Needs
A ceiling fan with lights provides ambient illumination in any room. Consider whether the light will serve primarily as an accent, or for task lighting, illuminating specific areas for activities like reading or working. The colour of the light also affects the overall mood of the room. Cooler, brighter lights are often suitable for home offices, while warmer lights evoke a cosier atmosphere for living rooms.
Energy Efficiency
Energy efficiency is another key factor when choosing a ceiling fan with lights. LED lights are more energy efficient and can significantly reduce electricity bills. Additionally, the height at which the ceiling fan is installed also affects efficiency. A fan that is installed too high may not circulate air effectively, causing more energy to be wasted in the room.
