This fan is crafted to minimise environmental impact during manufacturing while maintaining high standards of quality, aesthetics, and functionality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeaturing a natural finish and earthy tones, the Gaia ceiling fan captures the essence of Mother Nature. Its design emphasises environmental responsibility, and the name “Gaia” symbolises its thoughtful creation and commitment to eco-friendly products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSustainability Starts by Rethinking our Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraditional ceiling fans often rely on ABS plastics and steel, materials that require carbon-intensive manufacturing processes like electroplating and powder coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the Gaia, Fanco set out to change that — to prove a ceiling fan could be both durable and environmentally responsible. Every component was reconsidered, resulting in a design that replaces conventional materials with bio-based plastic motor housing and FSC®-certified solid timber blades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is the first DC ceiling fan of its kind: engineered for performance, crafted for sustainability, and designed to transform your environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA First for Australian Fans: FSC® Certified Timber Blades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs Australia’s first ceiling fan with FSC® Certified solid timber blades, the Gaia ensures every piece of timber comes from responsibly managed forests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs part of Fanco’s EarthFirst range, this material choice reflects our broader commitment to designing products that transform homes without compromising the planet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater-Based Coatings That Extend Blade Life and Lower Emissions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FSC® Certified blades use a transparent, water-based, non-toxic paint that protects them from humidity, ensuring longevity and promoting sustainability without compromising quality or aesthetic appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs well as providing protection from humidity, the water-based paint allows the blades to be easily recycled at the end of their life. By using only water-based coatings, processes like electroplating and powder coating are eliminated, reducing the overall carbon footprint of the fan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBio-Based Organic Plastics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom Petroleum to Plants:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe motor housing utilises bio-based plastic, where 25% of its content is organically sourced, significantly reducing reliance on fossil fuels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis advancement, certified by TUV tests (ASTM D6866-22 Method B), showcases a commitment to minimising environmental impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe biobased plastic does not have any coating or painting, and its colour refers to its organic components, eliminating unnecessary processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEasy to use remote design.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurn the fan on\/off, change the speed and switch the fan from summer to winter mode all from the convenience of a remote control. Also included is a 1, 4 or 8 hour timer feature, full control options for the light, and a ‘natural wind’ mode, meant to mimic the dynamic and soothing air motion of natural breeze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e‘No beep’ remote.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gaia also features a ‘no beep remote’, which does not make audible noise when in use. This allows the fan to be used in noise sensitive environments where quietness is a requirement without fear of disturbing the peace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReversible for year round use.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe F\/R button on the remote allows you to effortlessly switch between summer and winter mode. In winter the fan moves in the opposite direction – drawing air towards the ceiling helping circulate heat back down and keep your space warmer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Resources:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/fanco.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/spec-sheets\/earthfirst-gaia-dc-specsheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPEC SHEET\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/fanco.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/manuals\/gaia-dc-manual.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eINSTALLATION MANUAL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/fanco.com.au\/technical-downloads\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRESOURCES FOR ARCHITECTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fanco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48170756964522,"sku":"F2210\/619A","price":494.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/3310\/7882\/files\/EarthFirst-Gaia-DC-Ceiling-Fan-54-1.webp?v=1775188919","url":"https:\/\/www.luxlighting.net.au\/products\/gaia-dc-ceiling-fan-54","provider":"Lux Lighting","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
