itll be fine i read that too a couple days ago you shouldnt use a LIGHT dimmer cuz theyre a little different...fans can create small amount of electrical currents when turned off and they somehow spin in the opposite direction (air current or wind) cuz theyre like little generators (at least the same idea with the coils and magnets and what not)
jmello Reviewed by jmello on . dimming fans?? I know i have read its a very bad idea to use a light dimmer switch to slow down a fan but what can you use then? I have a decent size squirrle cage fan, it is pushing a ton of air but its just to much. it is very loud and i think if i could just slow it down a bit it would be perfect. thanks for any help!!:rastasmoke: Rating: 5
