Stop the Hum with a Legrand Fan Speed Control
A common mistake is using a standard light dimmer to control a ceiling fan. This results in an annoying buzzing or humming noise from the motor and can eventually damage the fan. Legrand fan speed controls are engineered specifically for inductive motor loads. By using high-quality capacitors to regulate current, they provide silent operation at Low, Medium, and High speeds, ensuring your bedroom stays cool and quiet.
Choose Your Legrand Fan Control Style: Radiant & Adorne
Match your fan controls to your dimmers for a cohesive look across your walls.
1. Radiant® Paddle Fan Controls
The modern standard. These controls feature the same sleek, screwless faceplate as the Legrand radiant dimmer.
- The Interface: A large paddle switch for On/Off control, plus a discreet slider on the side to select the speed.
- The Benefit: Preset "click" stops on the slider ensure you easily find Low, Medium, and High speeds without guessing.
2. Adorne® Whisper & Touch Controls
Designer airflow. Upgrade to the premium Legrand adorne collection for a unique experience.
- Touch Fan Control: A glass face that allows you to select speed levels with a simple tap.
- Paddle/Whisper: Matches the fluid motion of adorne switches for a seamless 4-gang installation.
3. Rotary & Toggle Controls
Classic reliability. For traditional homes or utility spaces, Pass & Seymour offers robust rotary knobs and toggle-slide controls. These utilize heavy-duty components to manage high-velocity fans or industrial exhaust fans where aesthetics take a backseat to performance.
4. Dual Fan/Light Controls
Two loads, one gang. Save space in your electrical box. The Legrand radiant dual fan/light control provides two separate sliders or switches in a single device—one for the fan speed, and one for the light kit intensity.
