Re: Indoor Ceiling Fans 16Aug 02, 2015 8:09 pm We are doing in-built light in fan in the smaller rooms (mainly bedrooms) because I think if you have down lights plus fan you will get visual disturbance from the fan blades rotating over the light. Hope that makes sense. In bigger rooms we will just have the fan with separate down lights Re: Indoor Ceiling Fans 17Aug 03, 2015 8:53 am http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn161/annielee8/elecrtical_zpsz9swd5he.jpg I've attached the floor plan, what do you think on the small room ? Bed 2-3 sizes are 3.4 x 3.3 - only with 2 downlights.. Master and theater are both bigger with 4 downlights ...

It might even be a total non-issue, it's just something somebody mentioned to me at one point and it has stuck in my mind. I'd say a lighting shop like Beacon would be able to tell you though, they're often really helpful over the phone too Re: Indoor Ceiling Fans 19Aug 03, 2015 12:21 pm thanks for your advise.. googled and found this article.. http://www.charlstonlights.com/blog/tips-on-planning-your-home-interior-with-led-lights Bjhf To be totally honest I'm not sure how far away the lights would need to be from the fan to stop the "flashing light" effect.

Narrow angle ones can be reasonably close to the arc, but wide angle needs to be further away. For a 90 degree beam, theoretically, you need to offset from the arc by the same distance as the fan hangs from the ceiling (normally 300mm), but I'd allow a bit more. The problem with the small bedrooms in the plan is that with narrow angle lights, two corners of the room will be fairly dark, and with wide angle lights you'll get strobing. So I'd be inclined to use fans with integrated lights in those rooms, or go to four lower powered downlights. I'd also consider moving the fan in the living space to the left or right, so it's in the middle of a group of four lights, for maximum separation, but that could affect the desired air patterns and visual symmetry. 0 4840 thanks. the above one is white Mat tiles and have gripness so going for this Mat tiles for both indoor and outdoor.
