RF Metal Grey BLDC Fan
Overview
The RF Metal Grey BLDC Fan is a 1200mm (48") ceiling fan from Beakn's RF BLDC range, finished in a sleek metal grey. It pairs a high-efficiency brushless DC (BLDC) motor with an included RF remote for quiet, powerful, energy-saving airflow. This model is a no-light variant — it delivers pure fan performance without an integrated light, making it ideal for rooms that already have a separate lighting solution or where a clean, minimal aesthetic is preferred.
At just 32–35W full speed, it uses roughly half the power of a conventional ~75W induction fan while delivering comparable or better airflow (>210 CMM). It installs directly at the existing ceiling fan point and is operated exclusively by the included RF remote.
Features
BLDC Motor
•Brushless DC technology for high efficiency, quieter operation, and longer service life compared to conventional induction motors
•Runs cool, meaning less wear over time
Double Ball Bearing
•Ensures smooth, near-silent rotation
•Low-maintenance design with extended operational life
Aluminium Blades
•Lightweight and durable
•Consistent airflow performance over time
RF Remote Control
The included RF remote provides full hands-free control:
•Booster mode — instantly ramps to maximum airflow with one button
•Reverse mode — reverses blade direction for improved seasonal air circulation (e.g. pushing warm air down in winter)
•Timer — sets automatic switch-off after a chosen interval
•Speed control — adjusts fan speed across multiple settings
> Note: This fan is RF remote controlled only. It does not support WiFi, app control, or voice assistants.
Wide Voltage Tolerance
•Operates stably across 100–300V AC — performs reliably where voltage fluctuations are common
No Integrated Light
•This model is a fan-only unit — no built-in LED. Customers requiring a combined fan and light should consider the RF Premium Grey BLDC Fan (9W LED).
Use Cases
The RF Metal Grey BLDC Fan is well suited to a wide range of residential and commercial environments:
•Bedrooms — quiet BLDC motor and timer mode make it ideal for overnight use
•Living rooms — strong airflow (>210 CMM) circulates air across larger spaces
•Home offices / study areas — low-noise operation supports concentration
•Commercial spaces — energy efficiency and durability reduce running and maintenance costs
•Rooms with existing lighting — the fan-only design is a natural fit where ceiling lighting is already installed
•Areas with unstable power supply — wide 100–300V voltage tolerance ensures consistent performance

Within the Beakn RF BLDC range
All six models in the range share the same core motor, sweep, and RF remote feature set. The RF Metal Grey sits in the metal finish, no-light tier alongside the RF Metal White BLDC Fan. Customers wanting an identical specification with a built-in light should be directed to the RF Premium Grey BLDC Fan (9W LED).
Selling Points
1.Energy efficiency — 32–35W versus ~75W for a conventional fan; cuts running costs without sacrificing airflow
2.Strong, consistent airflow — >210 CMM at 350–380 RPM for effective room circulation
3.Voltage-proof performance — 100–300V range handles fluctuating supply reliably
4.Quiet, long-life motor — BLDC technology with double ball bearings; quieter and more durable than induction motors
5.Smart control without smart complexity — RF remote with Booster, Reverse, Timer, and speed control; no app or WiFi setup needed
6.Easy installation — drop-in replacement at any standard ceiling fan point
7.Contemporary metal grey finish — neutral, modern aesthetic suits a wide range of interiors
8.Versatile use — homes, offices, and commercial spaces
9.Fan-only simplicity — ideal for spaces with existing lighting; no paying for a light feature you don't need
10.Low maintenance — double ball bearing design and aluminium blades built for the long term

Installation & Wiring
What's needed
•Standard ceiling fan wiring point (live + neutral)
•A regular licensed/qualified electrician
Process
1.The RF Metal Grey BLDC Fan replaces an existing standard ceiling fan at the same ceiling point — no additional wiring or special circuitry required
2.The electrician connects live and neutral at the ceiling rose/canopy
3.Once installed, the electrician or customer pairs the included RF remote to the fan (standard pairing procedure)
4.No smart-home hub, WiFi router, or app setup is required
Key installation notes
•This is a drop-mounted ceiling fan — confirm ceiling height and downrod requirements before installation
•The fan is not compatible with standard wall regulators/speed controllers — control is via RF remote only
•No wiring provision for a light kit — this model has no light output and no light-kit port
FAQ
How much electricity does it use?
32–35W at full speed — approximately half the consumption of a conventional induction fan (~75W) for comparable airflow. This translates to meaningful savings on electricity bills, especially for fans running many hours daily.
Is it WiFi or app controlled?
No. Control is exclusively via the included RF remote. It does not support WiFi, Bluetooth, app control, or voice assistants (Alexa, Google Home, etc.).
Does it have a light?
No. The RF Metal Grey BLDC Fan is a fan-only model with no integrated light. If you need a combined fan and ceiling light, look at the RF Premium Grey BLDC Fan (9W LED) or the RF Premium Russet Brown BLDC Fan (9W LED).
Will it work if my home has voltage fluctuations?
Yes. The fan operates stably across a 100–300V AC range, making it well suited to areas with inconsistent supply voltage.
What room size does it suit?
The 1200mm (48") sweep and >210 CMM air delivery suit standard to large rooms — typically living rooms, master bedrooms, and medium-to-large commercial spaces.
How noisy is it?
BLDC motors are inherently quieter than conventional induction motors. Combined with double ball bearings and aluminium blades, this fan is designed for smooth, low-noise operation — suitable for bedrooms and study areas.
Can I use a wall regulator or existing fan switch with it?
No — speed and function control is through the RF remote only. A standard on/off wall switch can power the fan on or off at the circuit level, but speed regulation must be done via the remote.
What maintenance does it need?
Minimal. Double ball bearings are low-maintenance. Routine cleaning of blades is sufficient for most installations.
Is an electrician required for installation?
Yes. As with all ceiling fans, installation should be carried out by a qualified/licensed electrician.
