    Default fan controller

    I'm thinking of getting a fan controller for my 4inch rvk.. Can anyone recommend a budget one that works well and available in UK ? There are very cheap ones but I'm worried they will be crap... Thanks

    Some ppl use varispeed plug in controller, or sms controllers (£10-£35 ish respectively) I've used variac speed controllers since the start, never had an issue and there's a wiring thread, £75- £80 bob though. I tried a varispeed and it was shockin lol, just my experience with 1

    Of the cheap ones, the best one ime isn't sold as a fan controller. It's an all in one 300w dimmer. No wiring needed. You plug it into to the mains and it has a socket for the appliance.
    Do an auction search for:

    Plug In Adjustable Dimmer Switch Home Lamp Light Intensity Control- 13A

    btw, don't go lower than 40% of mains or the fan might overheat.

    I use a varispeed and have no complaints, cheap and cheerful
