Fan brands from Dimango

[Deleted]

When I was in third grade my dad gave me a $75 budget for a ceiling fan. I picked out a $30 SMC, a $30 variable speed remote control, and a $15 light kit. The remote control was made by Dimango, and included wiring and mounting instructions for many different brands of fans. This was how I first learned of a lot of fan brand names.

These are fans with "unusual electrical characteristics":

Emerson
Fairbourne
Southern Breeze
National
McDonald XL
L & C Distributors
Wing Tat
Fasco (452 Charleston only)
Casablanca (Zephyr #1100, Delta, or Plantation)
KDK
Home Pride
Gulf Coast
Evergo
Satellite
Shell

Fans that use a "hook and bracket" (j-hook) include Hunter and Davimport. There is a picture of a Hunter Original canopy.

Fans that use a "ball (and socket) hanger" include Nikols-Kusan and Encon. There is a picture of a generic ball-socket canopy.

Fans that use a "stamped bracket or two-piece stamped bracket" include Moss, Magic Heat and Emerson. There is a picture of a Moss canopy and of an Emerson Friction Drive canopy.

Casablanca has it's own category. There is a picture of a Hang-Tru.

Nikols-Kusan = Old Jacksonville IIRC.

The "stamped bracket" picture is of the Magic Heat, not a Friction Drive.

Yes, Nichols-Kusan is Old Jacksonville. The later models used a ball/socket canopy. Most of them I've seen are similar to if not the same as Fascopattonmarleys. However the plastic 48" I have in my utility room has a much more generic ball/socket canopy.

What's a Casablanca Plantation?

Good question!
