EDISHINE 52-Inch Farmhouse Ceiling Fan with Light: features and specs

The EDISHINE HCFR01E is a 52-inch ceiling fan with an integrated light, five wooden-look blades and a black farmhouse finish. It comes with a remote control, uses a reversible DC motor and is listed for both indoor and outdoor spaces such as bedrooms, living rooms, patios and porches.

Why a DC motor

Ceiling fans use either AC or DC motors. DC motors typically run quieter and use less electricity, and they commonly offer more speed settings. EDISHINE describes the 30W motor as built with silicon steel and pure copper, and lists it as UL certified. The brand rates the fan at 46dB, which it compares to a soft whisper, and says it was designed with light sleepers in mind.

Reversing the airflow

The motor can run in either direction. In summer the blades push air down for a cooling breeze. In winter, a reversed, slower setting typically draws air up and moves warm air that has collected near the ceiling back into the room. EDISHINE says this gives warmth in winter and cooling in summer.

Remote control and timer

The remote controls the fan and the light independently. It offers:

• 6 fan speeds
• reversible wind direction
• a timer for 30 minutes or 2 hours, for sleep shutdown
• a button beep that can be turned off

The remote also comes with a wall-mountable base so it has a fixed place.

Dimmable light

The light can be dimmed from 10% to 100%. It takes two E26 bulbs, which are not included, so you choose the colour temperature you prefer, from warm to cool white. E26 is the standard medium screw base in North America.

Size and installation

The fan is 52 inches across and weighs 14 pounds. With down rods of 4 to 10 inches, the total drop is listed as 14 to 21 inches. Ceiling fans are generally sized to the room, and a 52-inch fan is a common choice for medium rooms. The down rod choice sets how far the blades hang, which matters in rooms with high or sloped ceilings.

Who it suits

It suits someone who wants one fixture for light and airflow, in a rustic or farmhouse style, in a bedroom, living area or covered porch. The quiet-running claim is aimed at bedrooms and nurseries.

What to check before you buy

• Ceiling height and clearance: blades are normally kept well above head height, so measure against the drop options.
• Room size: confirm 52 inches suits the room.
• Outdoor use: check the manual for where it may be installed, since covered and exposed spaces differ.
• Bulbs: two E26 bulbs are needed and are not included.
• Mounting: make sure the ceiling box is rated for a ceiling fan. Follow local electrical codes and the manual, or use a qualified electrician.
• Remote: it needs batteries, so check the manual for the type.
