REMOTE control ceiling fans are fast becoming the latest must-have in Malaysian homes – and it’s easy to see why.
These fans are not only lifesavers in the sweltering heat but also cater to modern sensibilities with their whisper-quiet operation, energy efficiency, and chic designs that enhance any room's aesthetic.
At its core, the convenience it offers users is unparalleled, allowing homeowners control and customisation of the fan.
Kawakita Denki Kigyosha (KDK), a leader in electric fan technology since 1909, has perfected this trend with their K14XF and K14KF series of remote-controlled ceiling fans.
Breezy beauties
The K14XF stands at a height of 361.5mm, while the K14KF is slightly shorter at 242mm, both designed specifically for residential settings.
Both models consist of three-blade metal fans each, spanning 140cm that come in two chic colours – black and grey.
These sleek, slim fans blend effortlessly with a variety of interior styles, whether at home in minimalist living spaces or cosy family abodes.
Beyond their visual appeal, they contribute to a clutter-free environment, eliminating the need for unsightly switches and cords, and maintaining a pristine, organised look.
Cost-saving coolers
The K14XF and K14KF models have set a new benchmark for ceiling fans, achieving a prestigious five-star rating on the Minimum Energy Performance Standard (MEPS).
These models are equipped with cutting-edge technology, offering ultimate convenience at the click of a button while enhancing energy efficiency.
One of their standout features is the built-in timers, enabling automated operation tailored to individual schedules, which ensures the fans only run when needed, optimising usage.
Both models also come with a handy three-speed remote control, allowing homeowners to easily adjust settings for personal comfort.
The K14KF model comes in a chic black tone.
Additionally, with Off Timer options of one, three and six hours, users can rest easy knowing the fan won’t be left running unnecessarily, helping save energy and reducing electricity costs.
A big plus point of the K14XF and K14KF fans is the Sleep Mode setting. This mode, available for three and six hours, optimises pre-sleep cooling by gradually reducing the fan's speed before automatically shutting off, creating the ideal environment for a restful snooze.
Safe, strong and powerful
When it comes to ceiling fans, improper installation or wear and tear can cause serious safety issues, such as abnormal wobbling and potential breakage from damaged shafts or bolts.
Both the K14XF and KF14KF models are in-built with safety features such as a cut-off switch that stops the fan if it wobbles excessively, reducing the chance of further damage or accidents.
Additionally, users can easily identify a defective blade while the fan is in use. The blade will hang securely with the assistance of a safety plate or hook, providing a visual cue for users to address the issue.
Another safety feature is a thermal fuse that activates before the motor overheats, protecting against risks from sudden current surges or motor problems.
The K14XF model is designed with safety mechanisms for peace of mind.
Ceiling fans also endure multiple stresses like centrifugal force, bending, and vibrations, which can gradually cause deformations or cracks, eventually resulting in fan failure.
The innovative builds of the K14XF and KF14KF fans are designed to address these issues, enhancing blade strength by efficiently distributing stress across their structure.
More than just aesthetic appeal, energy efficiency, safety and convenience – they also excel in performance.
With an alternative current (AC) motor delivering 65W power and spinning at 257RPM, it achieves an air velocity and delivery of 159 and 210, respectively, ensuring superior airflow and optimal air circulation in any environment.
