Very cool sightings as usual. The SMC have different blades. Their nice. Wider than the regular ones. Does the regular switches that says ''FN'' and ''F'' on picture 4 and 10 are for the ceiling fans and puts the power in the wall controls? Very nice KDK catalog aswell. One from when I was born even better. I knew that theses KDK were not that old. Thanks for posting too Perrey. Hmm.. The SMC blades are exactly like my 1994 version, actually they arent wider than normal blades the F and FN labels are switches that operate fans, they are commonly labeled in mosque switches so as not to mix up with the light switches

not much sightings nowadays... but oh well.. in the workshop where i take my ceiling fans for rewinding, i found this hunter hugger motor lying on the ground in the "to be scrapped" area.. the outer winding was really burned and flaky and the inner one was short.. no other hunter parts were there... a 60s SMC K56.. sorry for the bad photo, the fan is always operating at full speed whenever i go there.. it might be noticeable that the motor is bigger than the 70s K56 a mid 90s crompton greaves High Breeze placed outdoors in a mosque in the northern part of oman, notice the blade marks on the wall (taken by low battery camera app)

First time I've seen/heard of a Hunter over there! Hum? I've posted this before. Hunter is huge in the United Arab Emirates. www.theceilingfancompany.com/index2.phpMaybe you meant that you've never seen/heard of Hunters of this age over there? Even here Hunter older than 2002 are not too common but since I started visiting regularly Kijiji, I realized that they are not that rare. Lately a few early 1990s Summer Breezes and Low Profiles showed up, plus I've seen some 1980s Studio Series. The ones that are easily confused with a Passport along with a few other 80s-90s Hunters. It's by 2002 that Hunter got officially International it seems but before that they had started slowly in Canada, México and the UK.

It's very cool that you saw an older Hunter in UAE. I wonder it's it's even 220V. I know they were a few Hunter in the UK in the 1990s.
Are theses the 1960s SMC's K56 you told me about? They do seem to have a taller canopy like the 1960s-1970s models that were imported by Wilcorp.
They could have choose a 120 cm High Breeze for that location since the fixture is close to the wall.

some more sightings ... i am not a fan of wall fans and i rarely take pics of them, but this sanyo really caught my eye! it's extremely powerful and FAST and dark blue!! more pics of the blue TMTs aristo with its original medallion after selling it to a buyer and installing it for him a ceiling fan my cousin snapped when he was in canada, i expect to be a hampton bay industrial with plastic blades.. not sure though

The last one is definitely a Hampton Bay. As far as industrial applications are concerned (high ceilings), these suck. But when it comes to residential settings in warm climates (e.g. the UAE), these would actually do okay.

Awesome pictures!
I wish you took more pictures of portable fans in the Emirates, there are a lot of cool wall fans there. This Sanyo wall fan is gorgeous. I love the blue blades.
Is this blue TMT the same as the one you took pictures of a while back? The blue on this one appears very different than your last picture and from the ones I saw in N'Djamena. Still it's a beautiful fan and color, I love it.
The Aristo is beautiful too. I love the nut it has.
Yes this is an Hampton Bay in the pictures from your cousin. Hampton Bays are getting horribly common around here. More in Ontario than here. Is this the cousin you told me about that is in Ottawa?

came back from a short trip to saudi arabia.. got some good shots this time as all of you have experienced seeing lights hanging on fans as light kits, i am definitely sure you have never seen a fan hanging on a chandelier! there were many different types of fans hanging there such as TMT, relite, old KDKs, new KDKs and an unidentified fan.. but i wasn't able to get good shots due to light reflections here are a few good shots i got relite fan hanging on a chandelier: newer generation TMT: an unknown fan, i believe it may be a different relite model or something similar, all those fans used the exact blades as relite, their upper part was differently colored (found thru improper painting marks) and the canopies look similar to relite ocarina ceiling fan if you remember this very old poster i posted earlier, i came to see the actual fans myself they are branded "National" and the end tip of the blades are curved .. they are made in pakistan.. notice the downrod and canopy differences as in the photo below the downrods are shortened and the canopies are fabricated MTM fan a fan that is identical to Xpelair whispair, there were 2 variations of these fans where the only difference was the blade arm rivets on the blades, some were in center and the majority were on the right side... one is a brand name i don't remember and the other one should be xpelair whispair, this part of the building was completed in 1990 new Xpelair whispairs

I've seen a few fans mounted inside of/on chandeliers or another type of light fixture, but it never looked as cool as those do. Interesting to see that thing that looks like another Relite model!
I like the shape of the motor on the Ocarina.
Those "Nationals" are incredible! The whole place looks extremely awesome!

Thanks for posting this. What mosque is it? It's so beautiful. Is it the same one where you took the picture of the first Xpelair Whisper? They are some chandeliers that include a small ceiling fan in the middle of the fixture in the States. Usually it's a fan not more than 90 cm wide. The 3rd fan is very interesting. It does indeed have the same blades as the Relite fans but the motor is pretty different. It looks like a Pakistani or Indian motor. It would be cool if Relite made a different model. The Ocarina might be a relabeled TMT. I like these Pakistani fans. They imitate well the GEC Kingsway. With the different downrods, thicker motors and generic bell canopy it seems that the fans on the old poster are actual 1940s GEC Kingsways. www.junktionantiques.co.uk/gallery3/index.php/Vintage-Electrical/GEC-Kingsway-Ceiling-FanThe English made Xpelairs Whisper were made around the mid to late 1980s and possibly early 1990s too so 1990 makes sens. The two variations of theses fans you saw are probably of two different age. Maybe one is 1980s and the other one is 1990s.

Yes.. its the same place, the holy mosque in makkah, the 2 variants were mixed in that area, not 1 place with the first and the other place with the second.. i remember seeing a different brand name on one of those but cant remember the name though Ocarina had a similar regulator shape to TAT i remember..i dont think its related to TMT If u look carefully in the old poster pic, they are not GEC kingsway, the blades are above the bottom part the generic bell canopy on these pakistani fans are not original
