500W Fan Dimmer with British Standard – Electrical Regulator of Ceiling Fan Speed with Glass, Aluminum or Polycarbonate Panel
The DN72351/DN72351S is a dimmer switch for use with ceiling fans, which has a maximum output power of 500W. The device works with a rotary dimming device, which allows the user to adjust the speed of the fan; turning the knob clockwise increases the fan speed, whereas counterclockwise movements will reduce the speed. But unlike other fan dimmers, which only have fixed speeds, this product can be set at any given speed, thus achieving the desired results for the customer. The maximum output of this dimmer switch is enough for the fans used in typical domestic places. The product is available in three options — it can be produced with different materials, such as traditional polycarbonate, rugged glass, or with a metal exterior. It also has two types of plates that can be used for its assembly: steel and plastic steel plates. The product has been certified and has a warranty for a period of 12 years.
As an established factory fan dimmer supplier, we provide unbeatable wholesale pricing, OEM branding on a wide range of panel materials, and a 12-year warranty for all of our DN72 category products.
Smooth Continuous Control — Set Any Fan Speed, Not Just Fixed Steps
The DN72351/DN72351S rotary fan dimmer allows for the smoothest control of your ceiling fan. Unlike other stepped regulators that offer only 3 or 4 set speeds, this dimmer has a continuous adjustment option so you can get the proper airflow into any room any day. Plus, the rotary knob would let you know the exact speed you’ve achieved. You can twist the knob clockwise to increase the speed or counter-clockwise to decrease it. Also, at the off position, you will hear a noticeable click. There will be no humming or buzzing noise from the dimmer like with other types of controllers. The maximum electrical capacity of 500W means that the dimmer will allow operation of all types of ceiling fans where the power consumption varies from 60 to 100W.
Matching the DN72 Series — Fan Speed Controller in PC, Glass, or Aluminum
Part of the DN72 range, this PC glass aluminum fan speed controller has the same 88×86mm slim profile and advantages of three high-quality panel surfaces like the DN72 light switches power sockets, satellite sockets, and USB ports. The DN72351/DN72351S fan dimmer can be placed in line with DN72 light switches and electrical sockets in the same premises thanks to the identical surface outline of the units, same materials, and colors. The rotary knob implementation allows for perfect conformity of the product with the DN72 design principles instead of being just an unrelated appendage. Offered in White, Gold, Gray, and Black to fit any interior design. Container level supply (20GP MOQ) available with flexible combination of PC, glass, and aluminum finishings.

Fan Dimmer vs Light Dimmer vs Fan Regulator: Choosing the Right Controller for Ceiling Fans
A practical guide to specifying the correct fan speed controller for residential and commercial ceiling fan installations.
Fan Dimmer vs Fan Regulator (Step Type) — Which Offers Better Control?
The DN72351/DN72351S fan dimmer effectively allows for the adjustment of fan speed that offers a seamless and smooth operation. By tweaking the rotary knob, any desired fan speed can be achieved between off and maximum. However, a stepped fan regulator has only fixed fan positions that can give three to five speeds, which produces audible clicking noises at different steps.
Fan Dimmer vs Light Dimmer — Don’t Confuse the Two
Fan dimmers are used in motor circuits of ceiling fans to adjust the speed of inductive circuits. Light dimmers are designed for lighting circuits to control lights. The internal mechanisms of the devices differ, and this makes them different devices that cannot be interchanged. Using a light dimmer instead of a fan dimmer may lead to damage of the dimmer unit and ceiling fan motor as well as causing humming or overheating.
Panel Material Selection — PC, Glass, or Aluminum?
PC panel: Cost-effective and robust solution – a universal selection for residential and commercial projects. Tempered glass panel: Elegant shiny surface and branded fingerprints resistance – the luxurious solution for upscale residential and hospitality installations. Brushed aluminum panel: Industrial metallic look and scratch resistance are perfect for modern corporate interiors. All three solutions have the same 88×86 mm compact size, embedded power dimmer of up to 500W, and a 12-year warranty.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a fan dimmer used for?
A ceiling fan speed controller operates by controlling the energy supplied to the motor of the fan in a gradual manner. The DN72351/DN72351S is a 500W ceiling fan speed controller that conforms to the British standards. It has the capacity of controlling the fan at any desired speed ranging from zero to maximum limit.
What is the difference between a fan dimmer and a light dimmer?
It is important to note that a fan dimmer is specifically designed for inductive load with ceiling fans while a light dimmer is designed to work with resistive or LED lighting. They work on different mechanisms and hence are not interchangeable. A light dimmer should never be used with a ceiling fan because it can cause damage to both the dimmer as well as the fan motor. The DN72351/DN72351S is specifically designed for ceiling fan use, and therefore a fan dimmer should always be used with ceiling fans.
What is the difference between a fan dimmer and a stepped fan regulator?
A fan dimmer (DN72351/DN72351S) provides uninterrupted and smooth speed control; you can set any speed of fan from off to maximum speed. A stepped fan regulator only offers limited speed options (generally 3-5) with distinct clicks to indicate a speed change. The continuous dimming fan speed controller provides more uniform comfort control and gets rid of the humming noise associated with the stepped fan controller.
What panel materials is this fan speed controller available in?
The DN72351/DN72351S is offered in three premium panel finishes: PC (high-quality polycarbonate, economical in mass production), tempered glass (shiny, fingerprint-resistant, suited for luxurious interiors) and brushed aluminum (metallic industrial surface, scratch-resistant, recommended for contemporary commercial contexts). All of them are characterized by the same compact dimensions 88×86mm, rotary dimmer rated at 500W and a 12-year warranty.
