could this be hooked up to a small room fan? (am new to using solar stuff)

This depends on how much voltage and amperage the fan requires. If it is a 12v and .5A then you should be fine.

Sorry for the delay in answering, I just got back from leave. Yes, it will work for small fans and it is Infrared.

Yes. The thermostat is on a small circuit board -- easily reachable. A pair of wires comes from the solar panel -- cut that. Another pair goes to the fan. Cut that pair and connect to solar pair. Run free. Sam

you cshould be able do it as long as the power supply is 12v but make sure you have proper amperage. if you dont have enough it will realy dim it out and just a wee bit to much will blow it

I would say it is possible. If it was me I would just cut off the plugs. Strip the wires, then solder and shrink wrap to insulate. Of course the amp rating of the power adapter needs to be a little higher than what the fan needs. (at least) And being DC, polarity needs to be correct. Make sure the adapter has a DC output, not AC. Hope that helps.

You need a 12VDC power supply - could be a wall-wart you might already have, or some other power supply. I found an inexpensive 12V power supply on Amazon that I used in my project that powered the fan, as well as some other circuitry (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002FH54L6/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&ps;c=1). Then you need to wire the fan to the supply - either solder the wires, use terminals or wire nuts, etc.

hi, my solar Attic fan works just with the solar panel, i like it and it keep the house cool i can tell the different in now and before. thanks

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

I believe this switch is rated at 1800 watts. As long as you fan is not drawing more than that, you should be fine to use it.

This is a very handy thing but would probably not be adequate for anything but charging a cell phone, laptop, tablet, or ipad. But if your fan has a power consumption of 50 watts or less, it MIGHT work.

You could use 12 VDC power (like a battery) to power the controller and the fan is then powered by the controller.

That would all depend on what the wattage of the 12 volt fan is. Being that this solar panel is rated at 5 watts maximum it does not have too much output to run larger motors directly.

Yes, you would need to connect the power from the fan to the light. Recommend you get a license electrician to do the wiring.

I would defiantly place the panel where it can receive full sun. It will still run but at less than optimal speed. In full sun I was very impressed with the fans performance. Not impressed with the price but you get what you pay for here.

we bought this fan for our sun porch because our ceilings were low and this fan is small. in order to have used the lilght we would have had to intalll a third wire. so we don't use the light at all.but i would try a higher watt bulb and see if it blows!!

doubtful, but depends on what type of lighting you are expecting. I have two of these fans in a room about 24' x 19' and at it brightest it does the job for general purposes.

I would not use this for what you have in mind, it would over heat you need to find one that has a large heat sink with a fan.
