I’m looking to upgrade my paincave, and top of the list is a new fan. I know the Lasko ones are recommended in the US, but they don’t appear to be sold in the UK. Ideally I’m after something with a remote to control the speed. Alternatively I’m looking at this with a remote switch for the socket:…

[image] I have the above which is in reach while on the trainer. Furthest left plugs (top & bottom) are the TV and Kickr. Then I have a 20" HV floor fan with a Honeywell HT900E on either side, so I just flick them on/off as needed. Very rarely will I change the setting (1,2,3) on any of the fans. …

Glad I’m not the only one who trains in a bib rolled down, winter overshoes and thermal gloves!

These remote control plugs are pretty cheap on Amazon. I warm up without the fan on when the room is cold then can switch the fan on full for the first interval without pausing and getting off the bike [image] Status SREMSOC Remote Control Socket : Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools Product…

You can also get ones which use your phone as the remote. Saves having an extra thing.

It’s quite remarkable how well the body can heat an uninsulated garage in the depth of winter with a hard 90 minute session. Stepping outside is incredibly refreshing, stepping back in more like walking in to a sauna. I have found a mesh summer base layer to stop the chill caught on the chest & st…

https://ebay.us/wedmQz I have this one to control all the things!

This is a fantastic idea! I boil (even in winter) so need the fan year round, but always end up extremely cold straight after. Summer mesh layer may stop this/help with this chill!

DhB Mesh Base Layer also available in sleeveless & long sleeve. It’s just enough to wick it away from the skin and stop that chill from a standing layer of moisture. You could drown in my belly button if you were unfortunate enough to fall in to it face first :rofl: The DhB UV Arm & Knee screens a…

I just use a wifi enabled socket and use my phone to turn on the fan. Downside is I don’t get speed control but it’s always on high anyway

You can get the below Lasko fan off amazon in the uk but it is a bit pricey. As mentioned above I would probably go with a remote that plugs into the socket and do it that way. The downside with that solution is that u won’t be able to adjust the fan speed on the fly. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lasko…

It’s possible to add variable speed fan control using a triac. Works great with any PSC AC motor (majority of fan motors).
