We recently purchased a new home with 2 Fanaway lights with remote controls, both units the light was not working. We replaced both the T5 tubes and one worked for a week, then failed, we replaced that tube again and now its blown again after only 2 weeks and the other one has also now failed. I am afraid to replace more globes as it seems something else is wrong? Can anyone please help. We love the concept, but reading other reviews am worried to be wasting money.

Not sure when we purchased our Fanaway fans but will be contacting Beacon to check. Both fans in our lounge and bedroom are great and have received numerous positive comments. One thing though, our lounge room light will not switch on using the remote. When we press the button on the remote the light flickers momentarily and stays off. The fan still works using the remote. If the fan is running and we attempt to turn on the light, same flickering occurs but the unit makes a continuous noise. Any ideas?

Bought 4 of the original model - mix of wall and remotes. All have had problems from the controllers failing to the motor high speed no longer working. Just replaced one with a current model (Doh !) after its motor burnt out completely - there is no discernible difference between mid and high speeds. Never again. Will be replacing them all as no confidence in their quality or safety. Great asethic, the potential to be a great product, however paid a premium for a poorly executed product.

I bought a house about 6 years ago. I decided to replace the old fans with these over a period of about 3 years. Bought 8 in total. Have had problems with 7 out of the 8 so far. Ballast failures, fluro failures, light covers going yellow and one which won't go any faster than the slow setting.
I like the look of them but have been unreliable to say the least.
I am seriously considering replacing them all even though I spent over $2500 to buy them originally.

Similarly purchased fans throughout our home during renovation in 2010. Have replaced all remotes and control switches several times at significant expense. Can't switch off light or fan it remove globe from housing. any advice on a course of action for replacement remote or glibe would be really appreciated thanhs

We bought 5 fanaway fans for our home. Initially they worked however after the warranty two separate fans dislodged a fan blade. They propelled across the room one nearly hit a visitor and one did hit our TV. It was so lucky that no one was seriously injured.
I have contacted fanaway and beacon where I bought them as yet no response from them. It needs a recall for this product.

We outfitted our new home five years ago with lights from Beacon and lights from Online sites in China. The online lights are still working. The Evo 1 have died...every light now has died. They replaced my flush mount light, and the kitchen light. Now the two office lights have blown. We replaced a tube to watch it also die immediately and the ballasts are of course the problem. Seriously, if anyone gets a class-action suit about this I will happily jump on board. I am in a new house and part of the joy of being in a new house is there is less a chance of fire. When my office light sizzles over my head, I don't feel safe.

This is such a wonderful invention. It would be good if it were built properly, and not built to die.

Worked well at first but having to replace the ballast every two years when it blows is annoying and expensive. It doesn't just plug back in, the double sided tape doesn't hold it, the screw holes don't line up if you bought the original model and if you are not handy, you have to resort to paying someone else to replace it.

I read all the reviews on here but this thing looks amazing and just had it installed and it is the most quiet fan I have ever had. Looks great and works great. Just bought 2 more. My fan heater makes more noise. I have to look up to make sure it is still working.

I have had the same issues with my fan away ie. Loud buzzing, issues with it not working. The latest issue is that the fan won't turn off ! I had to turn off the main power.

This is the Third time in four years and the electrician (for beacon lighting under warranty) had advised he had replaced many other units so this is a well known problem. Yet beacon won't honour the warranty as clearly not fit for purpose??

Purchased in 2012 for $349, with Lucci remote an extra $99.95. Only 18 months later the unit began playing up, the light would flicker and turn itself off. Lodged a call out with beacon lighting which cost me $150 as only a 12 month warranty period, and we were out of warranty. Remote control and receiver in the fan were found to be at fault, paid for a new remote, plus extra time to have it installed. Now just over two years later the exact same thing has started to happen again. Light flickers and switches itself off. Assuming it is the same problem, but cannot afford to fix it again, as it seems we are throwing good money at a bad product. Very disappointing and would not recommend this product to anyone.

I have 5 of these fans in my house and have had problems with all of them even after 3 of them were replaced. Yellowing on the diffuser, the lights not working, fan controls not working and fans cutting out without the off button being touched. These are expensive fans and would not recommend that anyone purchase these fans. I'm going to have to buy 5 new fans to replace these ones as beacon said they cannot do anything because they are just out of warranty!!

We have 4 fanaways in our house. All the Balasts have gone, at least once. 2 of the lights now flicker so badly they are virtually unusable and the remote on one won't work at all. These fans are not cheap! Having spoken to several Beacon Lighting stores, some have said there have been problems with them but they all say they are out of warranty so nothing they can do. I would never buy one again, and because of the general lack of acknowledgement I would not shop at Beacon Lighting again.
