High-Performance Ceiling Fans with Lights –retractable fans

These retractable high-performance fans from Fanway are a great idea because while a high-performance ceiling fan is a useful thing to have, you don’t need to keep it on display when not in use, just collecting dust. When you switch off the fan function, the blades automatically retract, leaving you with a great-looking suspended light pendant. When the fan is switched on, a centrifugal force gracefully extends the aerodynamic blades out to circulate air around the room. Is there a better way of keeping cool then de-cluttering?
