kastlekonfusion 1 Report post Posted April 11, 2008 I've been reading most of the forum threads about ceiling fan and also, checking out various online resource for the ceiling fan specifications, etc. So far, we have only seen 2 ceiling fans that we're interested to get.Minka Aire Cirque Ceiling Fan Model F596-BNIt was mentioned in G Squared's website that "This fan is OK for standard 8 foot ceilings."Hansen Wholesale's website answered my question about shipping and did cautioned about the voltage. We checked out surge's post on the Sycamore Fan and wonderful review; thus our other choice for ceiling fan. Sycamore Fan from Sycamore TechnologyWe think we'd need 5 sets - Master Bdrm, Guest Bdrm, Home Office, Entrance Hall and Lounge.Have anyone seen these 2 ceilings fans during your shopping trips? Would you know how much it is? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
applefreak 1 Report post Posted April 11, 2008 i don't know where to get them but i assume you are NOT staying in a HDB flat?coz only ceiling fans with 4" 'stems' are allowed for use in hdb flatsthe first fan's stem looks too long, but a 4" stem will destroy it's beautyas for the second one, i remember seeing 2 fellow forummers installing themone the original and the other might have been a copythe original cost slightly more than $1k while the 'copy' cost around $600+++ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll leave it to the man to decide. I don't mind either ceiling fans but we must have ceiling fan in order to ventilate the rooms, esp. the lounge and home office when we work from home.At our current rental, we do not have a ceiling fan and on most days, we have the air conditioning turned on for the whole day which is not exactly environmentally friendly. We are sure looking forward to moving to our new place; more fresh air instead of being in an air conditioned room all day and night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does that mean the unit display at their showroom going for S$600+ is authentic? Btw, Pinkdewy, did you see the Sycamore Fan at the Elmark showroom?

pinkdewy 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2008 Yes, I saw the Sycamore Fan on display. They mount the silver one.The service from the lady (Estelle) was very good. She offered to let us see the white one (in box).After some thinking, hb and I decided to buy the Monte Carlo model. Fan + installation for $600.Sycamore Fan is $1388 but I believe they offer 30% if buying at showroom.I was told they are going to raise the price for export models very soon.
