500W Fan Dimmer — Electronic Fan Speed Controller with Three Premium Finishes
The DN71351/DN71351S is a 500W fan dimmer that replaces old resistive fan controllers and big external regulators with modern built-in 88×86mm DN71 wall plate. The device is distinguished by its ability to regulate the fan speed smoothly and quietly regardless of fan model, which is ensured by electronic technology of control. The main advantages of the DN71351/DN71351S compared to traditional inductive controllers are energy efficiency and noiseless work.
As a factory-direct manufacturer, we are in a position to provide our customers with outstanding wholesale prices, OEM branding on any type of panel material, and a 12-year warranty for all DN71 series products.
Electronic Control — Silent, Cool, and Efficient
This baby skin printing controller uses an electronic technology of controlling the speed of the fan and does not use the old technology of wire-wound resistive regulators. Wire-wound resistive regulators control the fan motor by injecting extra resistance in the circuit of the fan. This means that the highest speed of the operation wastes the maximum electricity in the form of wasted energy in the form of heat, the controller tends to heat and become difficult to touch, and the fan motor usually produces some noise. The DN71351/DN71351S overcomes all these drawbacks. Thanks to electronic control, fan speed is controlled efficiently, without generating unnecessary heat, noiselessly operating regardless of the chosen speed, and prolonging the lifetime of the fan motor. Being rated for 500W, it is suitable for an ordinary ceiling fan (which usually consumes about 60-100W of electricity) with some reserve being able to support larger engines.
Matching the DN71 Series — Fan Speed Controller
The fan controller known as baby skin printing is a member of DN71 series and shares the same specifications of size (88×86mm), three varieties of panel materials, four colors, as well as baby skin printing surface treatment with DN71 light switches, power sockets, USB-C sockets, and DP isolators. In any bedroom or room, you can install DN71351 fan controller for ceiling fan, DN71 light switches for room lights, and DN71 power sockets for appliances, which will have the same panel profiles, surface treatment, and colors. By having a rotary knob design, you can keep visual consistency with DN71 rocker switch design. The controller is available in White, Gold, Gray, Black colors that will give a same visual look through all three types of surfaces.

Your Source for Electronic Fan Speed Controllers
The DN71351/DN71351S 500W ceiling fan dimmer introduces a crucial ceiling fan control element into the DN71 lineup – the characteristic baby skin print finish on the electronic fan speed controller that supersedes the old types of resistive regulators. Three types of materials of the front panel – PC, tempered glass, and brushed aluminum – provide for easy differentiating between low-end and high-end products. This 500W electronic regulator works silently and efficiently without making any buzzing or humming noise and does not generate heat. The fan switch can be stocked alongside DN71 light switches, wall sockets, and DP isolators with the goal of supplying a whole range of British standard electrical accessories including the fan regulator with which customers can suit all the switches made by the same manufacturer. Let alone OEM branding for all three types of the panels, it is possible to have custom packaging and offer both containers and transportation with the minimum order quantity of one twenty-foot container filled with diverging configurations and finishes for the order placed.
Fan Dimmer vs Light Dimmer vs Standard Switch: Choosing the Right Control for Ceiling Fans
A practical guide to specifying electronic fan speed controllers for residential and commercial ceiling fan installations.
Why a Fan Needs Its Own Speed Controller
Ceiling fans utilize inductive motors which have very different characteristics from light bulbs. In the case of fan dimmers such as the DN71351/DN71351S, they are designed for inductive loads. This means that the dimmer is created to take care of the current-related properties of the fan’s motor, as well as work without making noise when the motor is being operated. The other switching appliance used in lighting provides the on/off function but lacks speed adjustment features. The dimming switch for traditional lighting is made for a resistive or electronic load; using it on a fan will damage both fan and dimmer while posing a fire threat as well.
Electronic vs Resistive Fan Controllers — The Silent Upgrade
Conventional resistive fan regulators utilize wire-wound resistors, which produce resistance to reduce the fan speed. However, the resistors generate heat at low fan speeds, making the regulator feel warm or hot. In addition, they also make the fan motor generate a humming sound. The DN71351/DN71351S electronic fan speed controller solves this problem, ensuring no heat generation or noise and ensuring greater efficiency. Electronic control remains the only right choice for hotel rooms, sleeping rooms, and any other space requiring silent operations.
Panel Material Selection — PC, Glass, or Aluminum?
PC with baby skin printing: Cost effective while also providing a luxurious silky feel — perfect for residential and hotel projects. Tempered Glass: Glossy and beautifully smooth — ideal for high-end homes. Brushed Aluminum: Industrial look with a surprising fluffiness — perfect for modern commercial projects. However, they all have the same 500W electric fan control and a 12-year warranty on it.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a fan dimmer used for?
A fan dimmer is used for regulating the speed of the ceiling fan or the wall fan by controlling the amount of power supplied to the fan motor. The DN71351/DN71351S is a DN71 model of the fan dimmer that has a capacity of 500W and the baby skin printing finish. This equipment gives the very smooth and silent speed control from very slow breeze up to maximum speed of the fan. The conventional resistive regulators and bulky devices designed for the surface-mount method are replaced by the new latest device DN71, which has the size of 88 mm by 86 mm and matches with DN71 sockets and switches.
What is the difference between a fan dimmer and a light dimmer?
Fan dimmers (model nos: DN71351 & DN71351S) are made specially for fans whether it is ceiling fan or wall fan. Light dimmers are useful for incandescent, halogen or dimmable LED lamps. Their working system is entirely different according to their electrical load. Using a light dimmer to control fan may damage it and overheat it resulting in fire accident. Using a fan dimmer on light fixtures is not valid idea too as it may not dim properly. So, it is always better to select right control for corresponding load. Even in case of power supply, the correct voltage level for a power system needs to be maintained in order to avoid breakdown of electrical equipment.
Does this fan dimmer make the fan motor hum or buzz?
No. The DN71351/DN71351S utilizes electronic control that enables it to operate quietly at all speeds. Unlike outdated resistive wire wound fan regulators that produce noise when used at lower speed options with humming sound, buzzing sound and vibrations transmitted to the fan motor, the DN71351/DN71351S does not have any of those issues.
What panel materials is this 500W fan dimmer available in?
The DN71 series fan dimmer of 500W has three options for the front panel since it has the application of baby-skin printing. It has high-transparent imported PC, glass that is tempered, and brushed aluminum. He has the same size of 88 * 86 mm, has electronic fan controller of 500W, and comes with 12-years warranty.
