A smart fan and a night lamp in one? The Nuuk Halo 3D fan mostly nails it | Mint

With the summer heat at its peak, the demand for all kinds of cooling equipment went through the roof. Although fans are definitely the first requirement of buyers, there is an increasingly growing part of people (like me) who want their equipment to offer extra features. This is where Nuuk’s Halo 3D Air Circulation Tower fan comes in, which not only produces all the basic expectations of a tower fan, but is also supposed to act as a night lamp. But is the reality as rosy as one would think, or is it just too good to be true? Well, I use the Nuuk fan about two months, and here are my two pieces on how it performed in the real world. Design: The Nuuk halo fan has a circular plastic base at the bottom that also contains the touch panel with all controls, including buttons for power on/out, speed levels, lighting level, vertical and horizontal adjustment and timer. In the middle is a smooth gray-colored metal pipe that connects to the fan’s head, with a hollow waist design with a densely packed grille micnic for a more focused airflow. In any case, the whole design gives a minimalist yet modern look that would fit in most rooms, although the lack of color options to adapt to custom aesthetics is a bit of a bummer. Another problem is that the metal pole is not height adjustable, which means there is no way to fit the fan for different environments. It feels more adapted in the direction of a bedroom or a front room such as setup. NUUK FAN DESIGN NUUK FAN TOUCH CONTROLS LIGHT at the back of the Nuuk fan functionality: The Nuuk halo fan has 13 speed modes and is capable of moving 90 degrees vertically and 120 degrees horizontally. All this can be controlled via the touch controls or with the cute pink-colored remote control provided with the fan. Nuuk -fan comes with a small remote. The fan is powered by three NIDC brushless direct stream (BLDC) cars with a rotary rate of up to 1950 rpm. The two good aspects here are that the NUUK fan only uses 24w power and provides silent operation, which means you will not even notice that it is unless you listen carefully. But what about the airflow? Honestly, I was very surprised at the amount of air this little fan can print. Let me put it this way: On the highest environment, the fan easily offers cool air to two people lying on the bed – even in this April heat. One problem I noticed with the Nuuk fan is that although the airflow at top speed is quite consistent, the fan speed tends to vary if it is at lower levels, such as 5 or 6. It is a minor annoyance, but something that the brand should be ideal to fix in the next iteration. On my favorite part about the Nuuk fan – the adjustable lights on the back. It contains a standard warm yellow light (single color only), which can be adjusted over three levels: low, medium and high. The interesting bit is that if you turn off the fan, it automatically shifts to a 90-degree position, which effectively becomes a night lamp. Believe it or not, I’ve never really found a lot of use for night lamps – that’s why I didn’t even own one before – but the Nuuk fan completely changed my perception. The lights at the back not only add an aesthetic touch to the room, but also come in handy if you get up at night, or if you have guests who prefer a little light while sleeping. Do you have to buy the Nuuk Halo 3D fan? At a price of £ 10,999, the Nuuk Halo 3D fan looks too expensive for many, but I believe there is definitely a market for this offer. It marks all the right boxes with its smooth, modern design, impressive air throw for its size, low noise levels and power efficiency – with the warm light on the back is the cherry above. Of course, there are some problems that need to solve, including inconsistent cooling at lower speed levels and a lack of aesthetic options, but in my opinion it is not a big deal.
