G'day! With summer just around the corner, we're all starting to think about getting the ceiling fans ready for those stinking hot arvos. But while your fan might still work a treat, what about the controller on the wall? Is it one of those old, chunky, yellowed rotary dials that makes an annoying electrical humming sound on the lower speeds?

That old-school dial can really let down the look of a modern room. Thankfully, there's a sleek, silent, and stylish upgrade that's a perfect match for any contemporary reno: the Clipsal Iconic fan controller.

What's the Go with the Clipsal Iconic Fan Controller?

The Clipsal Iconic fan controller is the ceiling fan speed controller from Clipsal's premium, modular Iconic range. It’s designed to completely replace the old rotary dial with a modern, user-friendly, and much more attractive push-button interface that perfectly matches the rest of the Iconic switches and powerpoints.

It's a small change that makes a massive difference, both in how your wall looks and how your fan performs.

The Features That Make It a Ripper Upgrade

This isn't just a prettier switch; it's a technically superior piece of kit.

Sleek, Modern Push-Button Design

The most obvious upgrade is the look. The Clipsal Iconic fan controller features a minimalist push-button that sits flush in the plate, creating a clean, architectural look. It instantly makes a room feel more modern and sophisticated.

Clear LED Speed Indicators

This is a fair dinkum brilliant feature. No more guessing what speed you're on! The Iconic controller has a neat vertical row of blue LED lights that clearly light up to show your selected speed (usually 1, 2, or 3). It's intuitive, easy to read, and looks schmick.

Quiet, Humming-Free Operation

This is a big one. Old-style dial controllers are notorious for causing the fan motor to make an audible electrical "hum" on low and medium speeds. The Clipsal Iconic fan controller uses modern electronic technology to control the fan's speed, which means it operates silently. You get the gentle breeze without the annoying background buzz.

Changeable Skins to Match Your Decor

Just like the entire Iconic range, the fan controller features a clip-on "skin." This means your installer fits the main electrical unit, and you can clip on a skin in your chosen colour (like Vivid White or Anthracite). If you repaint your room later, you can simply clip on a new skin yourself to match the decor.

Installation: A Job for a Qualified Professional

A fan controller is a complex piece of electrical equipment that regulates the power going to your fan's motor. Installing a Clipsal Iconic fan controller is absolutely not a DIY job.

This work must be carried out by a licensed electrician. A qualified professional will ensure the controller is wired safely into your home's 240V mains power, is compatible with your ceiling fan model, and complies with all Australian standards. This is crucial for the safety and proper functioning of your fan.
