British Standard 500W Fan Dimmer — Glass Rotary Fan Speed Controller
The DN71351/DN71351S is a British-standard fan dimmer providing 500W. It replaces outdated bulky surface-mounted controllers and resistive fan regulators, featuring a modern, flush mount wall plate that is 88 x 86 mm. The rotary fan speed control rotates stop-by-stop to enable multiple speeds, from off to full speed of the wall or ceiling fans. Unlike old wire-wound restriction methods that release heat, the electronic fan regulator has a slim profile and provides quiet and effective speed regulation. The design of the rotary knob integrates with the aesthetic look of DN71, made of imported transparent glass, high-impact PC, or metal. The dot is produced in four color variations — white, gold, gray, and black. Available with two options of the middle plate. 12 years of warranty.
As a direct manufacturer, we provide competitive wholesale prices and OEM branding for glass and aluminum or PC panel products of the DN71 series. We also offer a twelve-year warranty with regard to this product range.
500W Step-Type Regulation — Efficient, Quiet Fan Speed Control
This fan speed controller uses modern electronic step-type control to replace the inefficient resistive regulators. Every notch of the knob corresponds to a particular fan speed: The speeds change smoothly without the humming or buzzing, which are the output of older wire wound regulators when working at lower speeds. The 500W load capability permits the use in most of the ceiling, wall, and ventilating fans. It operates with the smooth action of the knob, the confirmation of the setting is realized with the definite click, and small dimensions of the entire controller allow its placement inside a back box of size 88×86 mm without any protrusions of heat sinks and external components.
Matching the DN71 Series — Glass Fan Dimmer in the Same Slim Profile
The DN71 series features its own multicolored white fan dimmer with a size of 88 x 86 mm which goes along with the various designs of DN71 power switches, outlets, USB power outlets, and communication outlets. You may want to place this DN71351 fan dimmer along with DN71 switches and power outlets in your bedroom and living room so that they show the same design of dimension, similar materials of construction, and identical four colors. The design of the rotary switch is consistent with the design of DN71 devices and does not look different. You may get the fan dimmer in the same four colors as the whole DN71 family.

Fan Dimmer vs Light Dimmer: Choosing the Right Speed Controller for Every Room
A practical guide to specifying fan speed controllers for residential and commercial ceiling fan installations.
Fan Dimmer vs Light Dimmer — Why You Can’t Use One for the Other
The fan dimmer, also known as a fan speed controller, is specifically made for inductive motor loads (ceiling or wall fans), whereas light dimmers are made for resistive or LED lighting loads. The two devices work in completely different ways. If a light dimmer is connected to a ceiling fan, a loud humming sound comes out from the motor and it will start working erratically, which can cause the motor to reach high temperatures and fail. Light bulbs connected to fan dimmers can experience flickering or not dim at all. The DN71351/DN71351S model is created specifically for controlling the speed of fans and should be used in all wall or ceiling fan circuits.
Electronic Step‑Type vs Old Resistive Regulators
Conventional wire-wound resistor fan control units make use of resistance in the circuit; the low-speed setting consumes the maximum amount of energy which is produced in the form of heat, i.e., the unit may even feel warm or hot. On the other hand, the DN71351 glass fan dimmer uses electronic step regulation technology that enables the fan speed regulation without generating waste heat.
Glass vs Aluminum vs PC — Which Panel Material for Your Fan Controller?
Tempered glass: These three products come with an excellent finish for luxurious bedrooms and living rooms — glossy and resistant to fingerprints. The brushed aluminum material provides industrial quality for commercial and high-traffic applications. The PC material is the most economical choice in mass use for housing developments. All of these products use the same fan speed mechanism with 500W of power, and they are guaranteed for twelve years.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a fan dimmer used for?
Fan dimmer is also known as fan controller or fan regulator. The main function of the fan dimmer is to control the ceiling or wall fan speed by changing the power supplied to the fan motor. The DN71351/DN71351S is a new type of British standard 500 watt fan dimmer, which is a replacement to old resistive controllers and bulky surface-mounts. The dimmer is a modern dimmer with a size of 88 mm x 86 mm and it has a rotary knob which helps in selecting desired speed from zero to maximum speed.
What is the difference between a fan dimmer and a light dimmer?
Fan dimmer is made for inductive motor loads electricity in ceiling fans and wall fans. A light dimmer is meant for resistive light loads and LED lights. The internal mechanisms of light dimmers and fan dimmers are different, so they cannot be used interchangeably. Light dimmer can damage dimmer and fan motor which can cause humming, erratic functioning and overheating. Therefore, a fan speed control designed specifically for fan circuits must be used.
Can this fan dimmer control a fan with a light kit?
The DN71351/DN71351S simply controls the fan speed. In case you installed a ceiling fan with an integral light fixture as well, you will need to install a separate switch for the light circuit. A popular setup would be a two gang back box with the DN71351 switched on one gang box for controlling the fan speed and a DN71 light switch on the second gang for controlling the light of the fan.
What panel materials are available for this glass fan dimmer?
The fan dimmer – DN71351/DN71351S is offered in three different front panel finishes: tempered glass (glossy and fingerprint-proof – best suited for a luxury bedroom or family room applications), brushed aluminum (industrial metallic finish for commercial interiors), and PC (cost-effective and durable running). All variants have the same fan speed mechanism of 500 watts and share dimensions of 88 mm x 86 mm and come with a 12-year warranty.
