    Default Fan speed controller on oscillating wan fan

    Hi there. Just setting up ventilation in my tent and have thought of using my fan speed controller on my 40cm oscillating wall fan. I can’t find any info on google for it. What sort of problems could I run into doing this? Dangerous?

    Anything like that, dimmer switches etc, can be a bit noisy believe it or not. Usually not a problem in the context of growing though with everything else.

    Thanks man. I forgot about the that noise. I’ll try and see if it’ll run properly and check noise. Mostly worried it’ll over heat internally

    As Cough says, noise is the biggest issue with cheap fan speed controllers. I know nothing about the part you are planning on using so can't comment further
