Retractable Blade Ceiling Fan Light

A ceiling fan light with retractable blades that fold back into the housing when the fan is off, so the fixture reads as a flush ceiling lamp rather than a fan. The blades extend only when you run it, which keeps the look clean in rooms where a conventional fan would dominate. A dimmable LED light sits in the center and everything is handled by remote.

Design and materials

The body and blades are ABS, built into a low, round housing 50 cm across and 18 cm deep. The blades are reversible, and because they sit inside the housing at rest the fixture keeps a slim, uninterrupted disc shape from below. That makes it a good fit for modern bedrooms and compact living rooms where ceiling clutter is a problem.

Where it works

Suited to bedrooms, dining rooms, home offices and small retail spaces with standard or low ceilings, since the self-contained mount keeps the fixture tight to the ceiling. The retracting blades are the reason to choose this over a standard fan: in a room you look at more than you ventilate, it spends most of its time looking like a light. Note that the compact 50 cm span moves air over a smaller area than a full-size bladed fan.
