also might i add to check the amperage that the rheostat will manage. its not the volts that will cook either its the amperage that will. the motor should have its amps draw listed on a sticker somewhere on it, just get the fan rheostat that will fit the amperage and you should be fine. and if you dont know what your doing messing with electricity, let someone who does hook it up for you, some things arent worth the risk.:thumbsup:
trynagethigh Reviewed by trynagethigh 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
