These fans are located in health center. They are controlled by a dimmer switch. An old dimmer knob holder broke off, so the whole switch was replaced. But it was replaced with another dimmer switch. The knob holder on that new dimmer eventually did break off too, but this video was filmed before new knob holder broke off. These fans don't spin nearly as fast as they're supposed to spin, but they do spin about 30% faster than they did with the old dimmer switch. This dimmer too had the knob holder broke and has been replaced with a Lutron Skylark 3-speed wall control and they spin about the same speed on high as it did with this dimmer. They don't wobble, or make too much noise, and blow some air, but not too much. All 3 fans are shown on 4 different speeds including maximum speed.
