I would look at the amp rating, but any DC power supply at 5V can run this fan. Just test it with old power adopters but make sure to read voltage on the back.

You bought the wrong type of fan. This is what you most likely want/need: Here is an example: Lasko 2521 16" Oscillating Stand Fan

Any 12 Volt, 3 Watt computer power supply will work with the correct 4-pin molex connector. For external applications like yours, you can use something less obtrusive like this one from Coolerguys, Coolerguys 100-240v AC to 12 & 5v DC 4pin Molex 2A Power Adapter

The other reviewer is correct. You purchased the wrong fan for your application. GOOD NEWS! You can buy another small fan, called a room-to-room fan with a 110/120v plug. There are many different types which are small and inexpensive. Check this out...it has an 11ft cord and only 5" square:Achla Designs Room-to-Room Minuteman Doorway Fan

It's made to run off a computer power supply, but any 12V power supply should do.Rated Voltage: 12V DCStart Voltage: 8V DCOperating Range: 8V~13.8V DCRated Current: 0.2 Amp @ 60℃ / 0.08Amp @31℃Rated Power: 2.4W @60℃ / 0.96W @31℃

Read my review of the item (R.Shoshan) I listed the power supply and the cable to convert with links.

This is a computer case fan. More specifically, it was intended for a certain CPU heat sink. Sorry but I haven't got a clue as to why you bought this for your message room.

Would think this power supply should do the trick. My system is close to the one you describe and it does fine. Will let you know there is an info message about the fan on the power supply not running at low power moments but will kick in if the unit needs more power.

One of my misters doesn't work. I would like to buy mister outlet too. I called company and they don't make this fan anymore though I just bought mine and don't have replacement parts. I would like to know if you find place to get parts too.

unfortunately this fan is LiPo batteries which is DC your house would be AC you'd be better off looking into electronics shop for PC computer fans amazon has them. hope that helps

Its not plugged into an outlet. I believe that my husband wired it in. The fan control in a little knob that is on the side that the air is blowing towards.

The fan on my unit comes on as soon as I plug it in. I assume it is malfunctioning! If you operate it without the fan running it will probably overheat and burn out the components.

This system does NOT have a power supply. This blower system is 120 volt (just like any other fan). You will need an extension cord run from the blower system to a household power plug. The fan has a small terminal strip to connect the wires. Power supplies are ONLY for DC units NOT AC units.

Yes, I had the same problem. You don't have to rewire your fan, just put your batteries in it and go for it! Gary

You may use batteries, or their CPX 6 V Rechargeable Power Cartridge which is sold separately. Lighting works well with high/low settings. The fan is really nothing more than a drain on your battery. I use with the CPX cartridge. Depending on use you may make it more than a night on a single charge. I have always had to charge each morning; though that has been with the use of the fan through the night. Have not been stuck in a situation as of yet where I have had to pull out my solar panel to charge battery so not sure how well that may work.

It has a fan that requires attachment to a 12v battery source. We have it wired directly to one of the batteries.

This fan is designed to be used inside a computer and therefore plugs into either a connector from the computer's power supply or perhaps directly onto the motherboard. You would not plug this into a USB outlet, and definitely not into house current.

We bought rechargeable batteries bc of not we would be spending way too much on batteries. The fan has a plug? Wasn't aware of that, so unfortunately I am not able to answer your question.

You would need to connect the fan to an external motion sensor that would turn off the power to the fan and then turn it back on when sensing motion in the room. It is designed to run at a very low speed at all times and draws an insignificant amiunt of power. It would be less expensive if you purchased a different fan and operated it from the motion sensor, then you would only be paying for one motion sensing circuit.

I run a car stereo setup off of mine in the man cave. My fan runs all the time. But I just put a 12v fan controller on it and a bigger fan. Fixed the problem if you're a DIY'er

No battery in this unit. USB or plug in only. I really love this fan. Very quiet and efficient!

Depends on the how long you want it to last for. For instance I have four six volt batteries connected in series to give 12 volts. It's in my bedroom and I have 12 volt lighting plus the fan through out my house. I haven't used ac lights or fan in about a year. The fans great really depends on how many batteries you have honestly

Needs a 12v supply. To noisey to use as a fan. Not intended for continuous use.
