What is the normal rotation of a fan?
Not all fans do that. Some are also reversible. Also the direction of turning is opposite if you observe from the opposite side.A bit more:On ceiling fans, they are made to be reversed for a reason, so the blades can either pull the air up or push it down. For example, on mine, with the way the blades are tilted, when it goes clockwise, it pulls the air up, pulling the warmer air upwards. When I flip the switch to reverse the direction to counter clockwise, the blades push the air downwards.For home ceiling fans, the air should be moving down in the summer time. In the winter time when the home heating unit is being used, the air should be drawn up to the ceiling. This causes a flow pattern that circulates up through the fan to the ceiling, across the ceiling and down the walls to the floor where it gets drawn back up to the ceiling. This rotational pattern draws the warm air from the ceiling and redistributes it to the floor where you can sense the warmth.
What materials are used to make a ceiling fan?
Fans can be made using steel, aluminum, or any of several plastics.
Does ceiling fan consume less electricity on high speed?
Ceiling fans use less electricity on low speed than they do on medium and high speed. Capacitors are used to control the various fan speeds. The capacitor limits the amount of electricity supplied to the fan motor. When less electricity is sent to the windings in the motor, the fan spins at a lower RPM. The result is a slower speed and less airflow. However, some fans move almost no air at low speeds, so it is important to know what the CFM/watts is for the ceiling fan in question so you can compare the performance at any given speed relative to the amount of electricity used
What does the white switch on a ceiling fan do?
The white switch on a ceiling fan is typically used to control the direction of the fan blades.

How to Get the Most out of Ceiling Fans with Lights?
Ceiling fans with lights are one of the most cost effective ways to moderate the temperature in your home or office throughout the year. Ceiling fans are also an attractive addition to most rooms. The light fixtures are generally elegantly designed to add a touch of sophistication as the fan creates a comfortable temperature. Summer Usage Most people think of summer or hot weather when they think of ceiling fans. Ceiling fans with lights are ideal for circulating the cooler air in a room and helping keep the temperature down. Even the most humid days can be made more comfortable if there is a gentle breeze from a ceiling fan drawing the cooler outside air through an open room. Ceiling fans are far less expensive to use than air conditioners, and they are better for the environment because they use less electricity. Winter Usage Modern ceiling fans are equipped with switches that allow you to reverse the motion of the blades. During the colder winter months, a reversed ceiling fan will push the rising hot air back down into the room. A ceiling fan can significantly reduce your heating costs if it is used correctly during the winter months. The central heating system will need to be turned on less often because the fan will circulate warm air through the room without any help from the heater. Before you switch your fan from summer rotation to winter rotation is the perfect time to clean the blades and mechanism as well. Dimmer Switches The lighting fixtures on ceiling fans with lights are incredibly practical. Since ceiling fans tend to be installed in the center of the ceiling where there is usually a centrally located light, the ceiling fan light acts as a replacement. Most ceiling fan lights have more functionality than usual ceiling lights, however. Dimming lights are standard on many different ceiling fan models. The dimmer switch allows you to set the light at different levels for different room uses. A very dim ceiling fan light can be the ideal night light in a home that has small children. There are several different lighting designs to fit every possible room style.
