Perfect combination for covered outdoor area.
Urban 2 AC with E27 Light 52"The fans remote being addressable is perfect for multiple fans because you can control the fans and lights either individually or collectively from a remote. If you lose a remote you can re-address your fans to all operate off a spare.
They are relatively easy to install and wire (make sure you use an electrician to connect the power).
The fan and light outputs are more than ample and they are super quiet.
Just a great fan and light combination!

Works ok
Urban 2 AC with E27 Light 52"The fan works well….But!
We bought two…and both the lights went on them after 3 months.
To fix this the whole fan needs to be replaced!
Not ideal!
And to start the fan the lights needs to be on,which when someone else is sleeping is not good,then you turn light off.

Works brilliantly
Fanco Urban 2Bought 3 of them, professionally installed, work perfectly, . Bright light, adjustable for colour temperature & brightness. Strong fan, 5 step adjustable. Plenty of air flow, steady & quiet. They just work & look good! If anything low is still too strong & moves a lot of air.
Purchased in for $289.
A great buy!
Fanco Urban 2Ordered online and it arrived promptly. A great fan - looks stylish, is quiet and works well. I especially like the bright setting for the light as it enables me to sew at night without problems. Very happy!

Noisy fan and terrible post-sales service
Fanco Urban 2Fanco Urban 2 was purchased due to Choice recommendation, as I needed a quiet bedroom fan. It was installed in Autumn 2020. When I needed to use it in early December I noticed it made a loud clicking sound when on anything except the lowest setting. I reported this to Fanco on 11th December, along with a recording of the problem. It took them until 16th February to replace the fan, so I was without a properly working fan all through summer. The replacement has the same problem. Its now 10th March and I’m still waiting for the 2nd replacement. I would never recommend this fan or the company.

Perfect bedroom fan

Better than air conditioning!
Fanco Urban 2Even in this weekend’s Sydney heatwave these fans are fantastic. So quiet and effective. I’ve had my fans for a year now and they are still Worth every cent. Thank you Franco!
Great fan, really happy
Fanco Urban 2Really happy with the urban 2 DC with light we had installed in our daughters bedroom, great power and so silent. Only annoying thing is the beep noise every time you push a button on the remote... would be great if there’s a way to turn that noise off!!

Sleek Design

The controls are infuriating
Urban 2 DCI am editing my review, the original is below for transparency.
After having these fans for a year now I can say we have become more and more frustrated with the design. The remote and bracket are very cheap and flimsy. If you try to press the buttons while the remote is in the bracket it rocks about. The worst thing is operating the “dimmable” light. You have to press the light button and it comes on full blinding power. Not great when your eyes are adjusted for night time. And there is a loud BEEP. To dim the light you have to turn the ligh
... Read moret off then on again (yes really!) BEEP BEEP each time. So imagine you need to get up in the middle of the night. First you are blinded then you have to listen to a series of beeps and cop flashing light as you step through the dimming process. Madness!! Original review: When we bought our house 12 years ago we swore we would install ceiling fans...and it took Covid isolation for us to decide to finally do it! We looked at many models and read a heap of reviews and decided to pay a bit extra for the Urban 2 DC model with CCT LED light. We installed 5 in total, 4 in bedrooms and one in a living area. Running 10 hours a day at full speed one fan costs about 8 cents per day to run which is way cheaper than our aircon. Our electrician explained that the DC model would be quieter, more efficient and have more speed options. He did say the AC model was a good fan too if you decide to go that way. There is so much to love about this fan. It looks great and is incredibly stable and quiet, you only hear the breeze it generates. No wobble or vibration. It has 6 speeds and you can even reverse the direction in winter. I love the timer and often set it to go off after eg 4 hours. The light at full brightness is a very powerful cool white and there are two other options which are less bright and more warm. Dimming is a little strange, you have to turn off and on to cycle through the 3 brightness levels and it beeps each time. The light will always be full power when you turn it on, you have to adjust each time if you want it softer. The remote feels a little light / cheap but it does the job and can be wall mounted. Be aware that with the DC fan your wall switch needs to be on for the remote to work. You can turn the light on and off with the wall switch or remote but you need the remote to turn the fan on or off, change speed, dim the light etc.Purchased in at Fansonline for $379.
Wow JosieJo2000! Thanks so much for your kind words, we're really glad to hear you like the fan =)
Hi Josie, we’re sorry to hear that your disenchanted with the Urban 2. When we first brought the Urban 2 to market, we used the best technology available at the time. Back then, most remote controlle
... Read mored fans beeped when you pressed the buttons and very few models with a dimmable light had a memory function – particularly at this price point. After gathering lots of feedback from our customers we have brought in the Eco Silent Deluxe as an alternative to the Urban 2 DC. Its LED light maintains the same settings when you switch it off, and the remote does not beep. We’ve included these features in our latest release of products and we’re always investigating ways to improve older models too.

Very stable with no noise especially with the remote control.

Fans On-line and Franco Urban 2
Fanco Urban 2We recently purchased a Franco Urban 2 ceiling fan for our new home. We had standed included fans in all bedrooms, however we we waiting to install other lighting options in our main bedroom. The ease of ordering, prompt delivery, packaging were all first class. We had our electrician install the fan and it seemed a pretty quick job tapping into the existing power source and then utilising the remote to adjust fan speed, direction and the brightness of the L.E.D. light. The noise (or lack there-of) of the fan is the immediate highlight. When compared to the fans in the other rooms and as supplied by the house builder, the Franco Urban 2 is literally silent.

Renovation upgrade.
Fanco Urban 2I purchased 4 x Fanco Urban 2 Indoor/Outdoor ABS Blade Ceiling Fans and couldn't be happier! Fans are only 3 speed but perfect for our needs. Was wrapped to find they are Australian made and recommended by Choice. They circulate the air beautifully and are just so very quiet. I love the fact that the blades are a composite material as I was so fed up with metal blades and the rust and paint flakes that chip off the edges. Am so happy with the product that when I move on to the next stage of our renovation I will definitely be purchasing more units. Great product!!

Questions & Answers
Why my fanco fans once we put in the battery at the remote there's a beeping sound and I can't on my light too??
Hi Adeq,

can you please help... I am looking at purchasing 3 Fanco urban 2 with led light (globes included) and extender rods. What is the best price you can give me please - also when could you deliver?
Hi June, we don't sell direct to the public. For pricing and an estimate of delivery time, we would suggest that you contact your nearest reseller. https://www.fanco.com.au/stockists/
thanks
Is there a way to silence the beep every time you turn on the light? It’s one thing having it beep with every remote button selection, but having it beep when you just switch on the light every time is going to drive our family crazy.
Hi Lucy, there’s no way to switch the beep off on this fan. The beep function is a feature of most ceiling fan remotes, however after customer feedback we have taken steps to remove it from our range. So if you’re looking for a fan without a beep, we have a lot of great options for you including the new Eco Silent Deluxe, which is a similar style to the Urban 2. If you have any more questions about the fans in our range, please email sales@fanco.com.au

Hi there,
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with us.
... Read more To give you a better assistance, we need to confirm which Urban 2 model you have. For instance, one has an E27 integrated light kit, which can be purchased and replaced by the user, whereas another has a CCT LED light, which has to be replaced by an electrician. If the fan is faulty, we are not certain as to what happened with your warranty claim and would be happy to assess and discuss directly if you like.
