(To be) My third ceiling fan

[ceilingfansmalta]

I was trying to buy a new ceiling fan from Indiamart and Amazon.in (India), but I seem to be having some problems with delivery to Malta. Do you know anybody who sells fans like the ones listed below (or similar) in Europe that can deliver to Malta?

1. Havells Velocity 

2. Bajaj Bahar 

3. Bajaj Speedster 

4. Crompton High Speed

5. Crompton Riviera

6. Polar Super Speed

7. Crompton Cool Breeze

 it is not a replacement for any of the 2 Relite Rapide MKII. I just wanted to get a 3rd ceiling fan which I could assemble myself. It is really a pity that in Malta there is very limited choice of 3-blade fans. Moreover, many are overpriced.

Thank you.

Update 12th Sept 2020:

I have an experiment in mind: I think I will get a Venti fan, or something available in Malta, but I will modify it to my likings.

I will use my own blades made out of aluminium trays with 3D printed blade arms, change the canopies to 3D printed ones, and remove the ball and socket and put a shackle clamp instead. 
If it is one with a gold ribbon, I will take it off and paint rings, like the ones I originally wanted to purchase from India.

Update 13th Sept 2020: I ordered a 48" Venti fan from Homemate, Malta.

You only like 3 blade spinners?

Some cool indian ceiling fans can be found on eBay and be shipped anywhere in the world. Usually they are 60 cm and 120 cm models. For exemple right now you can get the Bajaj Bahar Deco 120 cm in brown.

Thank you for your response.

I have considered Bajaj Frore 1200mm fan in bianco (different than white) to be honest, but the price will be over 100 euro with delivery. I have also seen the RS pro fans on a Maltese site, but they are also over 90 euro

This Venti fan was only 60 euro.

These are the modifications:

1. 1200mm is too big and to be honest I did not like the shape of the blades, so I cut them in the shape of most Indian ceiling fans, like the ones I mentioned in the list in the beginning of this thread. Now I just need to get 3 blade arms with a better angle than the original ones, or maybe bend the ones I already have. 

2. I also drew blue rings on the motor and removed the chrome thing at the bottom. I just need to cover the hole with something white.

3. The down rod was attached to the motor with a shackle, so I removed it and put the down rod straight on the motor shaft. On the other end of the down rod, there was a ball and socket mounting, which I also removed. I will now use the shackle I removed from the motor attachment for the top of the fan by adding a piece of rubber. 

4. I will 3D print new canopies for the fan. 

5. If the motor can cope with a stronger capacitor I would consider changing it. The one in this fan is the lowest I have ever seen: 0.7 Mfd only!

Update:

1. The blade arms were made out of the remains of the fan's blades and were riveted to the blades.
2. One 3D printed canopy is ready.

All is left, is repainting the blades, the down rod, and the canopies.

Do you have your files for CEC and Relite canopies?  I have a guy that can do the printing.

Here is a video of the fan still disassembled:
