You in a 2.4 m
You in a 2.4 m flat or terrace need a flush or short-drop fan and a span that does not fill the room.
The best ceiling fan woods, compared.
Top pick: Pilanp wood blades Best value: LXTEDJ dark wood – Best value on a different ASIN, the LXTEDJ dark wood at about £59.99. Updated 20 October 2026.
You are choosing span for the room, a real wood line versus a wood-effect plastic or ABS blade, and a drop that still leaves the blades at least 2.1 m above the floor. A title that says walnut, outdoor, or 20 dB is not those facts. You in a 2.4 m flat or terrace need a flush or short-drop fan and a span that does not fill the room. The checks before you buy are in the [Ceiling fan wood buying guide](/hub/cooling/ceiling-fan-wood/sub/ceiling-fan-wood-buying-guide). Pilanp’s size field says 48 inch and the dimensions say 91 cm.

Question 1 of 2
What do you need it to do?
The Pilanp listing is £105.90 on amazon.co.uk, with 4.9 from 11 reviews, and the bullets call the blades solid wood. Only nine reviews sit in the saved listing, so that star line is a small sample next to the Ovlaim’s 812. Buyers who like it mention the wood look at about £100, plus the LED and the remote. One review says the instructions are basic enough that an electrician suggested rewriting them, and the live conductor is labelled “FIRE”, which is a reason to stop and check rather than a diagram to follow. Another install clicked and wobbled after assembly, and cable ties did not fully remove it, so the 20–30 dB bullet is not what that buyer heard. The size field says 48 inch while the dimensions say 91 × 91 × 28 cm, and the material line lists glass, metal and wood together. It is indoor and not water resistant, on a semi-flush mount, and the page does not print a weight.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a fan whose bullets say solid wood, at £105.90, and you will confirm the span with the seller before you order.
Less suitable: You want a large review file, a single agreed diameter, or a bathroom fan.
Specifications
Common questions
Are the blades solid wood?
The bullets say solid wood blades. The material line lists glass, metal and wood.
Can you use it in a bathroom?
The listing says indoor and not water resistant. It does not give an IP code.
Which span should you trust?
The size field says 48 in and the dimensions say 91 × 91 × 28 cm. Both are printed on the listing.
The Ovlaim 809 is the 132 cm fan amazon.co.uk lists at £179.50, with 4.4 from 812 reviews, and the blade-material line says wood. In the 50 reviews kept in the listing file, buyers often describe lower speeds as quiet and mention only a slight noise at speed 6, and they use the remote on the dimmable LED. The same notes say the wood feels soft and marks if you knock a blade, so this is not a hard timber finish you can treat casually. A plastic light cover arrived cracked for one buyer, and others say the cover rattles until it is reseated or packed with foam. The specification names a Type L connector rather than a BS 1363 plug, and the downrod is 5 inch in the specification while the bullets also say 10 inch. This ASIN says indoor use and gives no IP rating, so a bathroom or an open patio is outside what the page supports. At 7.45 kg and 22 W it is the wood-stated fan in this set with a review count you can actually weigh.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a 132 cm indoor fan whose listing says the blades are wood, and the ceiling can take 7.45 kg.
Less suitable: You need a BS 1363 plug, a wet-room rating on this ASIN, or blades that will not dent.
Specifications
Common questions
Are the blades wood?
The listing says the blade material is wood, with acrylic and metal also in the material line. A review says the wood feels soft and marks if you knock it.
What plug does it use?
The specification says the main power connector is Type L. It does not state a BS 1363 plug. A cord, light kit and remote are included.
Is this the outdoor model?
This listing says indoor and does not give an IP rating. Do not copy a rating from a different Ovlaim ASIN.
The Depuley is a 52 inch fan at £119.99, with 4.3 from 120 reviews, and the finish is called walnut. The material line is iron and plastic, the shade is ABS, and reviewers describe plastic paddles rather than timber. Several of the 50 reviews in the file call it quiet at the speeds they used, including a top setting that still felt quiet to some, and at least one buyer received two mounting heights and a remote holder. The instructions do not explain how to use the short drop pipe, which is the fitting complaint that keeps coming up. One installer reports wobble and loud running from the stem on a low speed, which is a different fault from a loose ceiling mount. One parcel arrived without the remote, and AAA batteries are not supplied with it. The page says indoor and outdoor but prints no IP rating, and a DC motor is named only in the bullets.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a 132 cm walnut look at £119.99 and you accept plastic blades.
Less suitable: You want solid timber, a wet-room rating, or instructions that cover the short rod.
Specifications
Common questions
Are the blades solid walnut?
The finish is called walnut. The material is iron and plastic, and the shade is ABS. A review describes plastic paddles.
Can it be used outdoors?
The listing says indoor and outdoor. It does not state an IP rating.
Does it need assembling?
Yes. Assembly is required, and reviews mention a short drop pipe that the instructions do not explain.
The SANYCASA is the £65.99 flush-mount fan, with 4.3 from 17 reviews, and the title calls it a 42 inch plug-in model in black. The colour attribute says walnut, a bullet offers black or white, and the blade material is not stated, so you cannot treat it as a wood fan from this page alone. Fourteen reviews in the file praise the remote and the airflow in a bedroom, and more than one buyer calls the price fair. The instructions are pictorial and stall some buyers before they fit it. One review reports loud noise on all settings after installation, which sits against the 20 dB bullet. The dimension line is 41.5 × 26 × 18.5 cm, a carton-style figure rather than a 42 inch span, and the title says plug-in without naming a BS 1363 plug. At 2.3 kg it is the lightest fan here, which matters on a low ceiling, but the colour and size lines still disagree.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You need a light flush-mount fan around £66 and you will confirm colour and span with the seller.
Less suitable: You need a proven wood blade, a BS 1363 plug on the listing, or a single agreed colour.
Specifications
Common questions
Will it sit close to the ceiling?
The installation type is flush mount.
What colour is it?
The title says black, the colour attribute says walnut, and a bullet offers black or white.
Does it plug in?
The title says plug-in. The listing does not name a BS 1363 plug.
The LXTEDJ dark wood is model B-FS01EU05 at £59.99, with 4.0 from 34 reviews, and the bullets say the material is ABS and iron. This ASIN lists up to 5200 lumens and 60 W on an E27 lamp, which is the light line to read on this page rather than the figures on the light-wood twin. The review text matches that twin, so the 34 reviews are one shared pool, not two independent samples. Reviewers describe wood-coloured blades that match furniture and say the blades look and feel like wood, while still needing the QR installation video because the paper instructions are not enough. Noise is present in the review text, though it is mentioned less often than on some other fans in this set. The fan is about 100 cm and 2.8 kg, indoor and not water resistant, with six speeds, a remote and an app. At this shelf price it is the best value in the set if you want the wood colour and you accept ABS.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a wood colour for about £60 on a roughly 100 cm fan and you will follow this page’s 5200 lumen line.
Less suitable: You want solid wood, a wet room, or a review file that belongs only to the dark colour.
Specifications
Common questions
Is the dark wood real timber?
The colour is dark wood. The bullets say the material is ABS and iron.
How bright is the light?
This ASIN lists up to 5200 lumens and 60 W. The light-wood ASIN of the same model number prints different figures.
Can it go in a wet room?
The listing says not water resistant and indoor.
The LXTEDJ light wood uses the same model number, B-FS01EU05, at the same £59.99 and the same 4.0 from 34 reviews as the dark-wood page. The specification prints 600 lumens and 108 W with an E26 base, while the bullets say up to 5200 lumens, and the dark-wood ASIN prints 5200 lumens and 60 W, so you should not average those figures. Review wording matches the dark-wood file: light wood chosen to match bedroom furniture, a remote, and blades that look like wood and fix with two screws each. This listing says assembly is not required, and the dark-wood listing of the same model says assembly is required. The mount here is semi flush, the size line is 100 × 100 × 20 cm, and the page says indoor and not water resistant. Shared reviews, plus a light specification that fights its own bullets, are why this colour is the weaker of the two £59.99 pages even though the price matches. The material bullets still say ABS and iron, not timber.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want the light wood colour at £59.99 and you will ignore the conflicting lumen lines until the seller confirms one.
Less suitable: You need one agreed brightness, a unique review file, or solid timber blades.
Specifications
Common questions
Why do the light figures disagree?
The specification says 600 lumens and 108 W. The bullets say up to 5200 lumens. The dark-wood ASIN lists 5200 lumens and 60 W.
What bulb base is printed?
E26 medium. That is the figure on this listing, not a conversion.
Do you have to assemble it?
This listing says assembly is not required. The dark-wood ASIN of the same model says assembly is required.
The reiga 52YFT-7062 is listed at £159.37 with 4.0 from six reviews, and the blade material is plastic with an ABS wood texture. The saved listing contains one review. That buyer calls the fan itself OK and says the remote timer is 1 hour and 4 hours, not the range of settings in the product details. At 132 cm and 8 kg it is as wide as the Ovlaim and heavier, with a 15 cm downrod, a listed 35 W and a listed 35 dB, none of which this thin file confirms in use. Control is listed as app, remote and voice, with Alexa named on the controller line. Reversible airflow is not stated. Six reviews, and a timer that did not match the listing, are why it stays off the top of this comparison even though the shelf price sits close to the wood-bladed Ovlaim. The page says indoor and does not give an IP rating.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want app and voice control on a 132 cm wood-texture fan and you can accept a six-review file.
Less suitable: You want timber blades, a deep review file, or a remote timer that matches the listing.
Specifications
Common questions
Are the blades wood?
No. Blade material is plastic. The listing describes an ABS wood texture and light brown blades.
How do you control it?
The listing says app, remote and voice, and the controller type names Alexa.
What do the reviews say about the remote?
There are 6 reviews at 4.0. The review in the file says the timer on the remote is 1 hour and 4 hours, not the range in the description.
Shelf date: 20 October 2026. Source: the seven amazon.co.uk listings in this display file and the listing review notes for the same ASINs. Not a lab test. A seller decibel bullet, a CFM figure, or an IP rating printed on a different ASIN is not scored as a measurement of this fan. Weights sum to 100.
Amazon evidence
30%Star rating on amazon.co.uk, then a deduction when the count is under 100, and a harder deduction when it is under 30 or the saved listing holds only a handful of reviews. A 4.9 from 11 reviews is not scored as stronger evidence than 4.4 from 812.
Listing fit
40%A blade-material line that matches the colour name, a span that agrees with the dimensions, a stated mount, and a connector or voltage a UK lighting circuit can use. Deductions for a Type L connector with no BS 1363 plug, a 5 inch rod that the bullets also call 10 inch, “indoor and outdoor” with no IP code, a 48 inch line against 91 cm, a carton-style dimension against a 42 inch title, or two ASINs of one model number that print different watts and lumens.
Review outcome
20%UK review notes that describe quiet lower speeds, a usable remote, or a wood look score higher than a file that is one review, a shared pool presented as two samples, or a report of wobble, a cracked cover, or a remote that does not match the listing.
Value
10%Shelf price in GBP against a material line you can read and a review file with some depth. £59.99 does not score as the premium fan. £159.37 for plastic blades and six reviews does not score as better value than £179.50 with 812 reviews and a wood line.
Blade material as printed (wood, ABS, plastic), not the colour name Walnut, Dark wood, or Light wood. Blade span against the room. Supplier rules of thumb: about 90–122 cm for many rooms up to 20 m², and about 132 cm towards 25–30 m².
Wood blades, as stated: Ovlaim 809 (B0B5115JFY, 132 cm, £179.50, 4.4 from 812) and Pilanp (B0DQWHD6PD, £105.90, 4.9 from 11). Pilanp’s size field says 48 inch and the dimensions say 91 cm. Wood-effect or wood-named plastic: reiga (B0FMDJH8RK, plastic blades, ABS wood texture, £159.37, 4.0 from 6), LXTEDJ dark wood (B0D2D8GR6S) and light wood (B0D2D8LRM5) at £59.99, ABS and iron, 4.0 from 34, and Depuley walnut finish (B0DQ45L365, iron and plastic, £119.99, 4.3 from 120).

Mistakes: treating a colour as timber; using a long downrod on a low ceiling; copying IP44 from a different ASIN; believing a single decibel bullet when reviews mention wobble or clicking; ignoring a Type L connector on the Ovlaim specification.
Call a professional if the cables are old, the box is not on a joist, the room is a bathroom, or you are not confident isolating the lighting circuit at the consumer unit.
Blade material as printed (wood, ABS, plastic), not the colour name Walnut, Dark wood, or Light wood.
Blade span against the room. Supplier rules of thumb: about 90–122 cm for many rooms up to 20 m², and about 132 cm towards 25–30 m². Measure your room. These charts are not law.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You in a 2.4 m flat or terrace need a flush or short-drop fan and a span that does not fill the room.
You in a larger living room can use a 132 cm wood fan if the joist will take the weight (Ovlaim is 7.45 kg, reiga 8 kg).
You who want the look for under £70 are in the wood-effect ABS listings, with the caveat that the two LXTEDJ pages disagree on lumens and watts.
The top pick is the Ovlaim 132 cm wood at about £179.50. It scores 84, the highest in this set, rated 4.4 from 812 reviews. Best value is the LXTEDJ dark wood at about £59.99, a different ASIN, with score 74. Skip the top pick if the limit in its listing is the job you actually have.
