I had purchased 3 of these fans last year and I've just purchased another 3 more a couple of weeks ago. They look stylish and are so easy to clean. I love how you can change the light to 3 colours and make it duller or brighter with the remote. The medium setting of number 3 provides more than enough air flow to keep you cool with the added bonus of being quiet. Show details · 1
Very happy with our Calibo CloudFans. We have purchased three to put in our new house. They are super quiet and do a great job. Love that we can control them with google. We have purchased them before for our previous house so we knew how good they were. Show details · 3
This fan is great and fits in seamlessly in the room. I was recommended it by the store assistant and so glad I went with this option. Love that the light changes colour too between warm, cool etc. Show details · 1

I bought 2x 48” for the bedrooms and one 60” for the lounge (white colour) The fans came well packaged and on time, as described on the website. Easy and fairly quick installation. They turn around a great amount of air thus I haven’t had the need to use them on the higher speeds-5 and 6, even on the extreme heat days. I am very happy with the… Read more · 1
look, feel and functionality of the Calibo Cloudfans and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a nice, functional and quiet coastal fans. Many thanks to Lighting Illusions customer service for their support, answering all my questions and for their customer centric approach.
We had 6 calibo cloudfans installed in our home. Unfortunately they have several annoying features for indoor / bedroom fans. Very disappointed, especially after reading other glowing reviews. Pros: they look nice (mostly) - pushes around a good amount of air for nice cooling. - for our outdoor area, fan works great (as long as you don’t mind… Read more
noise)
Cons: 1. Noisy / for us it’s been a noisy fan when it’s on level 4+. Also had 2 of our fans make a random ticking noise. It’s been an issue for disturbing sleep.
2. Worst feature of all: Fans with the light - light switches on automatically if you turn the fan/light off at the wall switch (powers off / on). Then turn it back on, the fan beeps very loudly and the LIGHT AUTOMATICALLY TURNS ON! This is a terrible design!
We had to have a new fan installed in our baby’s bedroom because of this annoying feature blasting light into the babys room while baby is sleeping when we only want to turn the fan on.
Which brings us to another highly annoying feature:
3. The remote has a loud beep anytime you operate it. Again, not ideal for turning a fan up or down in a sleeping child’s room without a loud beeping sound at every button press.
4. Remote is super basic and doesn’t show what level it’s on, leaving you to have to press lots of buttons to figure it out.
5. Light is a terrible bright white. I avoid using it at all costs. And is so incredibly annoying when the bright garish light automatically goes on.
6. Lastly, while it looks nice they haven’t bothered to include a cover for the screws at the top - so screw are visible when you’re looking up at the fan. Might not bother some people but when you’re paying a pretty high price compared to their competitors, you’d think they’d polish a few of these features up.
We bought a Fanco fan to replace baby’s room fan and are much happier with the silent buttons, display remote controls, and thank goodness the light doesn’t automatically switch on when power is back on. If I could afford it, I would have all the others replaced too.
I can’t believe none of the other reviews mentioned these disappointing features, so I hope this helps!
Cloudfan 52 inch – Love this fan so much we bought 5! The airflow is just amazing and it is saving me money not having to use the aircon all the time. Also love the winter feature where there is no need to change the blades Show details · 1
Perfect air circulation on lower speeds – So quiet, 6 speeds, even on low can feel the breeze, doesn't vibrate like another brand we have. Show details · 1
The fan is beautiful- it’s very aesthetic. It’s become a feature of my patio without taking over the space- such a good balance. The functionality is clever and remote control is excellent and easy. The speed options are practical but the ability to change modes is really excellent and definitely a bonus. I love it - it’s been a great investment and value for money. Show details · 1

Latest follow-ups
My goal was to buy fans with strong wind production and these fans deliver. We have purchased 4 so far, and plan to buy more. Even on the lowest setting they move the air noticeably. I doubt we would even need the settings above 4 (they go 1-6). I… Read more · 2
like customisable blades. Definitely recommend if you're looking for fans that produce a strong breeze that spreads across the room and are extremely quiet.
Follow-up · Fans continue to be great. They are so good we inky needed the aircon on for 5 nights last summer. They keep the airflow high and I really couldn’t recommended them enough.

Nice fans, however, problems with lights – We have purchased 5 of these fans, they are quite and provide good air flow however 2 have fans have issues with the lights flickering which I understand is a common problem. Moreover, I now spend time organising the warranty claims rather than enjoying the fans. Show details

Poor on/off design – The fan doesn't start operating when you turn it on at the wall switch. I thought there was a problem with it but Calibo Support advised me that "since the fan is controlled via the remote, you need to press the ON/OFF button to start the fan; it won't start automatically". It seems an odd design choice that the wall switch provides power to the… Read more
fan, but doesn't actually start it operating. If you lose or break the remote you then lose total operation of the fan. None of the other ceiling fans I have ever bought workj this way.

Five stars, no question. This is my third Calibo CloudFan 48" and the quality remains consistent. What truly impressed me this time was the after-sales experience at Lighting Illusions Skygate. Dawn personally reached out to remind me to register my fan for a free extended warranty — a small gesture that shows real care for customers. I also… Read more · 1
needed to return a bathroom 3-in-1 heater that was not suitable, and Dawn handled the exchange perfectly, recommending the right product first go. The whole experience was smooth from start to finish. Highly recommend both the product and the team at Lighting Illusions Skygate.
I love the 2 CloudFans we have installed. Apart from the fact they look sleek and modern they are whisper quiet and give an amazing breeze. There are 6 settings and even on 3 they give better air circulation than my other fans. Looks like I may be replacing all my fans! I purchased from Lighing Illusion who gave outstanding customer service too. Show details · 1
I recently purchased two Calibo Cloudfans with the large 72" blades. So so happy with them. They also look great ! They were easy for my electrician to install and their performance is better than I imagined. Show details · 1
Wonderful fans and wonderful customer service. I ordered the wrong fans and didn't find out until the end of the 30 day return policy. The team were willing to give me a refund anyway, and then I was able to order the correct fans. The fans are indeed quiet like it says on the box, and their power is quite good. The remote is easy to use. Show details · 1
We installed 5 of these fans around our home. They are super quiet, and we love the powerful air movement and the easy controls. The LED is great for bedrooms and small living areas. They also just look d#mn sexy. Show details · 1

Not only do the fans look good, they are quiet, easy to use especially with the remote control. We were looking for a fan that was able to move a large volume of air and this fan satisfies this requirement very well. Happy with the purchase. Show details · 1
These fans are amazing - stylish, whisper quiet and powerful. We installed 3 a year ago and just added another 5 replacing the remaining fans in our home. Couldn’t be happier with the result. We are ready for the Queensland summer! Show details · 1

Amazing Fans! We have bought them for every room in the house! They are stylish, modern and work very well. 100% would recommend! Show details · 1
Got installed recently and honestly, it’s great. Super quiet, even on high speed, and moves a lot of air and the lights. Love that it’s got a remote and works with the app too. Looks pretty sleek and modern fits in well with the room. Would definitely get another one for our bedroom. Show reply
Really pleased with the look of these fans. The electrician installing them even commented in how good they were, appearance, easy to install, well made. Show reply
The dynamic shape of the blade move so much more air than a regular fan! Simple to use controls with a quiet motor, so far I've only needed to use the lowest settings. I went with the dark timber finish, which looks great! A statement price, not just functional. Show details · 1
