FANAWAY®
Retactable Blade Ceiling Fan
EVO1 Prevail from FANAWAY® is an
advanced ceiling fan with unique
aesthetics and energy efficient
design. Switched off the
traditionally intrusive fan blades
automatically retract and conceal,
and visually the unit transforms
into a slim, modern light pendant.
Turning the fan on creates a
centrifugal force which deploys the
blades to circulate air within a
room. It creates open space in the
room environment, accumulates less
dust, and is unobtrusive and
versatile to visually integrate into
most building interiors.
Apart
from providing a clutter free
overhead environment, Fanaway
provides a very different aesthetic
to standard ceiling fans or lights.
Using quality materials and
finishes, Fanaway sets its own
standard from an interior design and
styling perspective.
EVO1 Prevail from Fanaway was
born of a vision to resolve an
aesthetic issue that had not been
successfully addressed until now. By
applying meticulous design processes
to tackle specific needs, the
Australian designers were able to
provide solutions to the aesthetic
problems of a common ceiling fan and
at the same time re-define the
concept of pendant type ceiling
fans. In addition the design
achieves greater energy efficiency
ratios reducing running costs and
greenhouse emissions.
Evo 1 Prevail was developed by
Australian inventor Joe Villella, he
first featured his design on the
ABC’s TV show ‘New Inventors’ in
October 2005 and won the ‘People’s
Choice’ award for that episode.
Beacon Lighting worked with Joe to
bring his unique invention to
fruition.

How to clean the Fanaway Fan
It’s very easy to clean the blades
of the Fanaway fan, simply pull the
blades out when the fan is turned
off. You need to hold onto two
blades and slowly pull them out in
the same direction that the blades
would usually open, the mechanism is
fairly tight so you need to use a
bit of pressure to pull them out.
Make sure you pull both two blades
at the same time as pulling one
could cause damage as the pressure
is too much over the 1 blade. Once
you have them out you can wipe them
down with warm soapy water or Windex
on a cloth.
