5-star ceiling fans compared on BEE's own data

5-star ceiling fans compared on BEE's own data

The government's star-label database lists 1,561 five-star 1200 mm ceiling fans. Here is what the label measures, what five stars saves, and five fans from big brands compared on BEE's own figures.

A fan's star rating comes from its service value: air delivered per minute for each watt it draws.

A typical 5-star 1200 mm fan draws 30 W. The least efficient fan the standard allows can draw up to 52.5 W.

Run 8 hours a day for a year, that gap is about 66 units of electricity per fan.
