Beating the British heatwave: a two-in-one lighting and fan fix for installers
Posted by: electime 2nd September 2026
With the recent long UK heatwave, homeowners have been asking how to stay cool without a full air conditioning install. Forum Lighting Solutions has responded by expanding its decorative lighting collection with a new range of LED ceiling lights with integrated fans – one fitting delivering both lighting and cooling, wired once and controlled entirely by remote.
Electricians are fielding more client requests for something more effective than a standing fan but less disruptive than air conditioning. This range offers installers a straightforward answer: a single ceiling fitting that lights the room and moves the air, with no separate fan circuit or extra switch wiring required.
The range spans three designs – Ingram, Lyona and Trinity – each available in black, satin nickel, chrome and warm brass. Every fitting combines light and fan motor in one unit, connecting to a standard ceiling rose like a conventional pendant or flush fitting, with the remote handling everything from first fix onward.
Key specification highlights:
- Reversible six-speed fan motor – forward airflow for summer cooling, reverse for winter to circulate warm air down
- Remote-controlled fan speed, light output and colour temperature. No wall controller needed
- Switchable colour temperature (3000K/4000K/6000K)
- Three-level dimming
- Built-in 2- or 4-hour timer
For electricians, a factory-wired combined unit means less first-fix planning and no separate fan isolator circuit, just a tidier ceiling rose with one point of connection. It’s a natural upgrade for bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens and conservatories during a rewire, refit or bedroom update.
Full spec sheets and fitting instructions are available on the Forum Lighting Solutions website.
