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
Very quiet, moves the air well. Good looking in black, with easy to use remote. Spins nicely with no vibration. Show details · 1

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
The fans look fantastic in our house {we are not in yet} we would like to thank staff & MJ for the wonderful time she spent with us choosing the fans with us. REGARDS Shaun & Mary Smith 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
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
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
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 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. Show details · 1
We've finally had the CloudFan installed and it is excellent. Whispir quiet. Very stable. Easy to use remote. The living room did not get any cross ventilation and the fan has added the air flow that was so needed. Show details · 1
The CloudFan looks stylish and modern, but also is powerful. I love the ability to control it from the remote and from a smartphone app. Very convenient. Does make a little noise if there’s a cross breeze. Show details · 1

Purchased from Lighting Illusions in Sumner, their service and knowledge was amazing. Really happy with purchase. Fan is so quiet and the different operating speeds make it easy to choose accordingly. The sleek design makes it easy on the eye as well. Show details · 1
The Cloudfan DC 52” with LED light has been a great change in our household. We purchased 3 to replace failing units in different parts of the house and the difference is immense. Having better light control, more speeds available, and the ability to control it all from the app and other assistant services, it makes life so much easier! Definitely… Read more · 1
recommend to anyone looking to buy! Would also recommend the optional wall switch for anyone replacing current fans but be aware you aren’t able to use 2 way switching with the wall unit.
Cheaper for the electrician to instal as they did not have to instal a seperate light and fan switch. Lots of choices in fan speed, light colour and colour dimness. We went for the wood finish on the blades and we think it looks very stylish. Show details · 1
I am really happy with the fan - the air that it puts out is amazing compared to what I previously had. The fan is quiet and there is a range of speeds to choose from. I love the modern design of the blades. Very happy with my purchase. Show details · 1
This was a great fan to buy, after looking at 3 other retailers before coming back to Lighting Illusions, we were pleased to see a large range of fans you could actually turn on and test. The light on this fan does not look like an afterthought as so many do. Install was easy to arrange and this fan work flawlessly. Show details · 1
Quiet, plenty of airflow. Sparky had no issues with the install (replaced older AC fans). The app feature is pretty darn handy being able to automatically reduce the speed at a certain time of night so it's not too cold in the morning. Very happy with the purchase so far. Let's just hope they last. Show details · 1
Excellent design and operation – Slick slim 3-blade design with unobtrusive and dimmable tri-colour light. The fan is quiet and moves a lot of air at speeds #1-3. Blade/air noise can be heard at speeds #4-6, but you'll blow the candles out at those speeds. Show details · 1
Excellent experience from sales through to the operation of the fan – We purchased two Calibo Cloudfans (60inch) through Lighting Illusions at DFO Brisbane Airport. We initially looked at an alternative product but we were impressed with the look and operation of the Calibo Cloudfan. Once installed we have noticed a huge improvement in the cooling effect and quiet operation. Show details · 1
