Retractable blade ceiling fans
This is the SEY Maison signature: switched off, a plain round ceiling light with no other identity. Switched on, the blades unfold slowly and the air starts moving at 30 dB. Nobody guesses a fan lives on the ceiling — which is precisely the idea.
Retractable blades solve the dilemma of demanding interiors: real airflow in summer without imposing the silhouette of a fan the rest of the year. The dimmable three-temperature LED replaces your existing fixture; the remote drives everything from the sofa.
Your questions, answered
How do retractable blades work?+
The blades sit folded inside the body of the light. On start-up, centrifugal force deploys them progressively; when stopped, they fold back on their own. No handling, no mechanism to maintain.
Is airflow as effective as with fixed blades?+
Deployed, the blades span 91 to 107 cm, comparable to a classic fan of the same size: up to 20 m² covered, with a felt cooling of 3-4 °C.
Does it really replace my ceiling light?+
Yes: integrated dimmable LED (2700K to 6000K depending on the model), installed on the existing light point in 30 minutes, like a fixture. It is a ceiling light that also knows how to ventilate.
