The LED Ceiling Fan project optimizes a combination of emerging LED technology and commercially-available lighting controls to create a cost-effective LED lighting kit. The project will also investigate integrating smart LED lighting controls into both the ceiling fan and exhaust fan markets for energy and peak demand savings.

Objectives / Goals: The goal of this project is to design, develop, demonstrate, and commercialize a novel LED lighting and controls system that can be implemented in multiple residential fan applications (e.g., ceiling, exhaust). In California, 90% of ceiling fans sold have light kits with incandescent sources and an average connected load of 120 watts (W). Key manufacturing partners and California homebuilders will participate in the development and testing of these systems.
