That last one is very weird looking.. I like the little Canarms, the Marelli, and the GE vent.. Thanks for commenting. Well it's a very contemporary Panasonic. That's what they look like today. Unfortunately it's not very much the days of brass, stencil, cane and brown metal blade spinners anymore. |

Here are the sightings for March. A bar in Montréal has a cool mixture of fans. At the front there is this 2000's Canarm CP48 120 cm. The blades are a little twisted, it give it some character.  In the middle is this 1980's Banvil Orange Line 140 cm.  At the back are three mid to late 1980's Banvil Silver Lines 140 cm. One has it's blades removed, another one was spinning at a sorte of medium speed and another one was off. They are all installed pretty close to one another. Pas de pales  The one spinning.  The one that was off.  Some of you will recognize this one. I installed at my sister's new condo in Québec City her 1999 Encon Jewel in her bedroom again. In the meantime she had the red 1986 4 Saisons Mini Victorian. She wanted this one better. The last time that one was installed was March 2012.  A bronze Casablanca Panama Inteli Touch from the 2000's. This picture was sent to me by a friend who travelled to Massachusetts, USA.  That brushed nickel Likewise hugger at Canadian Tire with the cool 1990's style light and three pull chains.  At a friend's house in Montréal: A recent Canarm Mystic in the entryway. He uses it a lot on low.  And in the bedroom this recent dark chrome SMC hugger with blue marbled blades. He likes to keep the none light pull chains up so that's why we cannot see all the three pull chains going down. The blades are installed on the wrong side of the brackets.  Enjoy! |

Neat sightings at the bar.. Would have liked to see a more distant picture to see the install as a whole also..

That brushed nickel Likewise hugger at Canadian Tire with the cool 1990's style light and three pull chains. I admit, these are semi-decent in appearance. However, they are complete garbage! The newest version (now manufactured in the same factory that produces various Canarm fans) has actually changed somewhat. Instead of brushed nickel, all decorative metal parts are now brushed pewter, and the blade brackets have become uglier. At a friend's house in Montréal: A recent Canarm Mystic in the entryway. He uses it a lot on low. And in the bedroom this recent dark chrome SMC hugger with blue marbled blades. He likes to keep the none light pull chains up so that's why we cannot see all the three pull chains going down. The blades are installed on the wrong side of the brackets. That Canarm Mystic is truly crap. How new is it? The hugger is not an SMC product. Also, people blatantly disregarding a box picture and instructions never fails to amaze... |

Those motors almost look like Palcos, but thinner...

I love none renovated shabby places like that bar. They often have older fans. If you think the wires are messy there, don't ever go to Thailand and many other places in Asia.
That Encon Jewel can be a little bit noisy, the light pull chain capricious on this one, the housing construction is cheap but it moves a lot of air and the blades have an amazing finish.
What does it matter where is was in Massachusetts?
I have never seen a different version of that Likewise hugger.
For a while those huggers were sold by Super/Airworks but sometimes they come in an actual SMC box.

I also love non-renovated spaces, however am not particularly fond of the shabby look. "Messy" is only the beginning. What lies behind the ceiling and walls is likely 1000X worse. What is ironic in my eyes that the 2015 Canadian Electrical Code deemed AFCI (arc fault circuit interrupter) protection necessary for most 120 volt circuits feeding receptacles. Supposedly, this was intended to greatly reduce electrical fires and the hazards attributed to them. Yet, if you compare a Code-compliant home in Canada wired 35 years ago (prior to the AFCI or even GFCI mandates) to many current homes in Asia, it is still considerably safer. Have a glance at this video: That Encon Jewel can be a little bit noisy, the light pull chain capricious on this one, the housing construction is cheap but it moves a lot of air and the blades have an amazing finish. The motor must be larger than a typical 52" Encon. What does it matter where is was in Massachusetts? I was merely curious... I have never seen a different version of that Likewise hugger. I should take a picture during the next visit to Canadian Tire. For a while those huggers were sold by Super/Airworks but sometimes they come in an actual SMC box. True point regarding earlier versions, however these have not been manufactured by SMC for over ten years now. |

Most of the rest of the world, particularly Europe is very advanced and easier to work with electrical equipment, at least the ones from 1970 to present. They all use bornier which is so much better and easier to use than those twist-on connectors. I don't understand why these are still used them so much here. Borniers are starting to appear but the process is too slow.
The motor in the Encon is pretty small.
Actually these hugger have been made by SMC for longer than that. I've seen models more recent than that and they were made by SMC just by looking on the details of the pull chains, the sticker of the pull chains of the motor sticker.
