With UK summers running hotter and homeowners increasingly asking how to keep their homes comfortable without a full air conditioning install, Forum Lighting Solutions has expanded its decorative lighting collection with a new range of LED ceiling lights with integrated fans.
Forum’s ceiling lights offer one fitting that delivers both lighting and cooling, wired once and controlled entirely by remote.
As demand grows for practical ways to beat the heat, electricians are increasingly fielding client requests for something more effective than a standing fan, but less disruptive than air conditioning. The new range gives installers a straightforward answer: a single ceiling fitting that lights the room and moves the air, with no separate fan circuit or extra switch wiring required.
Steve Kaye is Marketing manager at Forum; “We are excited by this range. These ceiling lights with fans will give year-round comfort to homeowners without the hassle and expense of fitting an aircon unit. And for installers, it’s just one job and one fitting…everyone’s a winner.”
The range spans three designs – Ingram, Lyona and Trinity – each available in a choice of finishes including black, satin nickel, chrome and warm brass.
Every fitting combines the light and fan motor in one unit, connecting to a standard ceiling rose in the same way as a conventional pendant or flush fitting. The remote handles everything from first fix onward, keeping the job to one cable run and one set of fitting instructions per product.
Key specification highlights across the range include:
– Reversible six-speed fan motor – forward airflow for cooling on hot days, reverse for winter use circulating warm air back down from the ceiling
– Remote-controlled operation for fan speed, light output and colour temperature. No wall controller required
– Switchable colour temperature (3000K / 4000K / 6000K) to suit warm, neutral or cool white lighting from a single fitting
– Three-level dimming for the LED light source.
Built-in 2 or 4-hour timer, useful for cooling a room down before bed without running all night.
For electricians, a fan and light combined into one factory-wired unit means less first-fix planning and no need to co-ordinate a separate fan isolator circuit – just a tidier ceiling rose with a single point of connection.
As more homeowners ask about beating the heat on a budget, this range gives installers a quick, quotable upgrade: swap a standard pendant for a fan light during a rewire, refit or bedroom upgrade, and the client gets cooling and lighting from the same point on the ceiling.
It’s a natural fit for bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens and conservatories – rooms that heat up fastest in summer and where clients are most likely to ask for a fan alongside their lighting.
Full technical spec sheets and fitting instructions for each product are available on the Forum Lighting Solutions website, alongside the usual trade datasheets electricians expect for job packs and building control sign-off.
