Obabala 52in White Ceiling Fan with Lights - Quiet DC Motor

In this review of the Obabala 52in White Ceiling Fan with Lights, the reviewer finds it a strong choice for covered patios, bedrooms, and living rooms that need a quiet, efficient fan with integrated lighting. The biggest reason to buy is the combination of a reversible DC motor that moves impressive air quietly and a three-color, dimmable light with memory function, which together deliver year-round comfort and flexible lighting from a single fixture.

Key Features

• Natural wood blades: Three renewable, planet-friendly wood blades give the fan a warm, modern look suited to rustic or contemporary spaces while maintaining durable airflow.
• Reversible DC motor: Low-noise operation and reversible airflow allow cooling in summer and redistributed warm air in winter for better year-round comfort.
• Three-color dimmable light: The integrated light offers cool, natural, and warm white options (6000K, 4500K, 3000K) with dimming and a memory function to restore your preferred setting.
• Included remote control: A multifunction remote changes the fan's six speeds, adjusts brightness, and sets 1/2/4 hour timers so you can control comfort from across the room.
• Adjustable installation height: Two downrods (5in and 10in) and an 18 degree tilt option let the fan be installed on a range of ceilings and angled locations, including covered outdoor spaces.

Who It's For

This fan is a good fit for homeowners who want a quiet, attractive ceiling fan for covered patios, porches, bedrooms, living rooms, or small offices and value energy-saving DC motor performance and flexible lighting. It works well where a low-profile modern look with natural wood blades is desired and where remote operation is appreciated.

Shoppers who need an outdoor-rated exposed fixture for unenclosed locations should look elsewhere, since this model is described for covered outdoor and indoor use. Also, those who require multi-light fixtures or very high airflow for very large rooms may prefer a larger or more industrial ceiling fan.
