PurpleHen Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Just spotted this on ebay eBay auction And was wondering if anyone else has come across these or knows where I could get one - I will bid at the last minute but would be interested to know how much they are normally. Have done a google search and couldn't find anything - so next stop - Omlet fourm...... PS - if the bidding gets out of hand - I'll know who to blame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Hi Jackie, I have seen these for sale on my holidays, but never over here. Not sure how effective it would be for me - the lightbulb isn't directly over the head of the bed We have a big fan sat on the balnket box further away from the bed,which works really well. A pal of mine bought a FANTASTIC handheld fan which attatches to a water bottle & sprays you at the same time Something like this.... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/L-K-NEW-WATER-FAN-COOL-DOWN-WITH-ICE-COLD-SPRAY-GR8_W0QQitemZ160010044834QQihZ006QQcategoryZ20612QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleHen Posted July 21, 2006 Author Share Posted July 21, 2006 Hi Sarah, That looks rather enticing too! Our light bulb is right over our heads, so from that point of view it would be good - but I'm not sure it would have the puff to blow the air over us a few feet below.... Might get a water one though - they look great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I use big desk fans. We have gradually bought them over the years and now all 5 bedrooms have one. They go up into the loft in winter and down again in summer. In one of the rooms it is mounted on the wall. I have a ceiling fan in my bedroom, but it isn't as cooling as the desk fan I have blowing on me all night! The ceiling fan keeps the air circulating though and we use it for most of the year.

Eyren Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 No luck here - found a Turkish manufacturer on a US B2B website, but no retail price http://elektral.en.ec21.com/GC00974058/CA00996556/FAN_with_Light_Socket.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
