is the 'low' speed offered by this product a lower speed than the typical low speed of a ceiling fan?

The switch speed on low seems about the same speed as the chain control on low.

No, I would say hi, medium, and low would be the same as on the fan. Never measured this, just my best estimate

You can most likely find the answer on their website. These squirrel cage fans work so well on many utility problems, as well as personal cooling, I never thought to look it up. I rarely run my fans above low speed. For drying floors, dispersing air spray and distributing ac air in the heat of summer, they work wonders.

Of course it depends on the fan setting, but I have noticed walking toward the fan from 15-20 feet away there is air movement on the medium speed setting

No, this fan is not designed to use with a speed control, it is On/Off only. There is a temperature/humidity control unit that works with this fan that works well, but no speed control.

By golly, that's exactly how I use it. I installed it in my desk's computer compartment with a typical dining room lamp dimmer dial/switch to control the speed. At full speed it's a little louder than I like, but it's quite tolerable at the lower speeds. It does a nice job, though, producing plenty of circulation to keep my over-powered CPU from overheating.

Well kind of, it has 3 levels of power so, when you push the only button on the fan, it will start the lowest speed, you hit the button again, it will go to the 2nd level & hit it again, it goes to the highest level. I hope this helps!

The fan is not quiet, but would pull some cool air from room to room. But cool air will seek a lower section of a room, so fan should be placed low to pull cool air.

Hi MommaD, thanks for the question. This wonderful ceiling fan comes with 3 speeds, and can go in reverse. We hope this helps! IF you need anything else, please reach out to one of our experts. Not only do they know everything, but they're literally sitting right next to their phones right now :)Hansen Wholesale1-800-201-1193

this is a three speed switch, my ceiling fan has three speeds,, I imagine if you didnt want a fourth speed and tied your wire off, you could use it. I am not an electrician nor can I say to do it, that is up to you,, I had two problems, one my switch stuck, the chain stuck, and two, my capacitor on the middle speed opened. so I only have two speeds currently on my ceiling fan. Of course all my wires are intact as it is a three speed switch, three speed ceiling fan. Hope that answered your question.

No it is just an on/off switch. But you can control the speed by buying an speed control rheostat. That is what I did. It costs $50 and amazon has the unit the fan maker recommends.

Yes, it has three different speeds, but keep in mind that this is a commercial fan, and it is noisy. It is perfect for our garage as we live in FL and use the garage year-round for projects.

The fan is very quite on the low setting. I can have it in a meeting room without distrubing anyone. When you get to the faster settings, it does get louder. It is very handy.

Nope. It is for dimming lights ONLY. there is an On / Off version you could control a fan with but not the speed of the fan.

This fan has 3 speed settings and a switch for reversing the air flow for summer /winter seasonal changes. I tend to use mostly the medium and high speed settings to assist air movement in the lofted ceilings of my home. Also the fan is very quiet when operating even on high speed.

I can not make that choice for you however, even though I have a 10 foot ceiling I chose not to use the drop down bar it came with and mounted the fan the regular way. I am very happy with the look of the product and the blade pitch. My only issue is I can hear a humming sound from 2 fans and 3 of them do not rotate as fast as the other 2 even though they are set up exactly the same with the same speed.

Yes. From very low to hi. The speed control is on a "roller switch". Love this fan!!!!

It has three speeds and I've never had to use it on the highest one. And it's the quietest fan I've ever owned. Hope this helps.
