- Ben from Snowys' here today folks.
With this portable dual four-inch, 12 volt fan.
♪ Hit it ♪
This kit comes with two mounted adjustable four inch fans.
Runs off of a 12-volt power source,
and has this nice big adjustable mounting bracket
that comes with it.
So, the kit comes with three parts
and there's also an instruction manual in the box.
So, you've got the fan with, a just over two-meter cable
and the switch attached here,
that has a cigarette plug on the end here.
And then, you get these two parts here.
So, a big clamp that allows you to attach it
to wherever you like and this little ball joint here.
So, a little bit of assembly required.
So, to start with, we under the, this collar
over the top of this little bracket
or this little sort of housing here
and these are sort of got a rubbery feel to 'em.
So, this pushes into that spot there,
and clips in place, we can see that pivots around
and then we put this collar back over the top
and that allows us to tighten it down
to stop it from moving around.
Same deal on the bottom of the fan.
So, underneath the fan here, we've got this same collar,
we undo that,
push the bracket into the housing there.
Before we do that, we wanna put the collar back on.
So, put the colour over there.
Don't make the same mistake I did,
push that on there and tighten it up.
And that is the kit all set up.
So, we can see we've now got the fan.
I've got the bracket, it might look backwards,
depends on how you wanna set it up.
But overall, if we look at the dimensions now,
weighs about 600 grammes, about 27 centimetres across this way
and sort of 20 odd centimetres in height here,
depending on how you set it up.
If you loosen these you can actually make it
lower, higher, however you like.
So it's a roundabout 20 centimetres.
Now, each of these fans is about eight centimetres across,
and there's two of them in the kit, obviously there.
So, you can point these in any direction you like,
up, down, or you can't quite go backwards
but they'll both point forwards,
but in any direction you like.
Now, there is a switch here and it's an adjustable switch.
So, this wheel pivots around,
push it all the way up to off,
you can see it's off up here
and when you pivots it down,
it clicks on and will go all the way around to max.
On max, it draws around about seven watts
or thereabout by measurements.
Now, I'm gonna plug it into a power source
but what I'm gonna do is,
I'm going to clip it on the edge of the shelf here.
So, I'll grab the big clip.
Nice and easy to squish in.
I'll put that on there,
and I'm just gonna pivot this up like this
and tighten these brackets so that it's facing,
we'll face it out this way, give it a spin around.
Now, these fans don't oscillate,
they just stay in a fixed position
wherever you wanna point them.
But that's all set up to use there now.
Now, I've got the cigarette plug
and I'm gonna plug it into a 12-volt source here,
and we can see the light goes on, on the switch here.
So, the switch, flick these on,
they're either both on or both off,
you can't operate them separately.
So, I'll pull this down.
You can see now,
the actual wheel here lights up blue as well.
So, we've got two bright lights
and we see those fans are just on low.
When I measure this on another unit,
it drew about one watt,
when it's on a low setting like this,
and that's just a very little bit of air moving there.
And I can spin this around, right up to high
and they're actually, (fan buzzing)
there's a bit of a buzzing noise there,
but I was quite impressed with how quiet they are,
and how much air that's actually moving around.
So, that's on full there, now.
I'd say about seven to eight watts,
that's gonna be pulling at the moment
and we can put that in any different direction we like.
I've got a technical device here,
a bit a paper with some bits cut out of it
just to kind of show you how much it's moving.
I'll spin that back down again to low.
So, that's the low setting there.
So just a very little bit of air movement,
and then we slowly wind it up to high.
You can see,
a reasonable amount of air movement.
So, quite a good solution, if you want something,
say maybe in the back of the car,
for the people sitting in the back.
If can clip this in the middle somewhere,
and have a fan on both people in the back.
In a caravan, you can have it at the end of a table
and have air being blown in two different directions.
Even at a campsite, on the side of your table,
in a campsite, two people sitting there
and they can both have their own fan.
Quite an efficient option,
little bit bigger than saying individual fan
but you get that two sort of directional air.
So, I reckon they're a really good solution
for air movement, in a camp site or caravan
particularly, in hot and humid environments.
