Most bathroom fans deliver 85m³/hr. The Luxair delivers 350m³/hr — four times the power, ceiling-mounted between your joists, IP45 rated for direct installation above the shower. Tunable dimmable LED lights, 10-speed remote control, 20-minute auto-timer. Matt Black, Gloss White, Cashmere or Stainless Steel.
Luxair Bathroom Extractor Fan — 350m³/hr. Four Times the Power of a Standard Bathroom Fan. IP45 Rated.
The average bathroom extractor fan fitted in UK homes delivers around 85m³/hr of airflow. It sits on the wall, hums when you switch it on, and does a reasonable job of clearing steam from a small bathroom if you leave it running long enough. The Luxair ceiling bathroom fan delivers 350m³/hr — more than four times that output — from a slimline motor that fits directly between standard UK ceiling joists. The comparison is not incremental. It's a different category of bathroom ventilation entirely.
That power matters because bathroom moisture is a persistent problem. Steam that isn't cleared quickly condenses on walls, ceilings, and grout, leading to damp and mould growth that a low-power fan running after the fact can't adequately prevent. At 350m³/hr, the Luxair fan clears steam from a bathroom during a shower rather than after it — and the 20-minute auto-timer ensures it continues running after you've left the room without needing to be manually switched off.
IP45 rated — safe directly above the shower
The IP45 rating means this fan is certified for use in wet environments including directly above shower areas and in wet rooms. Standard bathroom extractor fans rated IP44 or below should not be installed in Zone 1 (directly above the shower head). The Luxair fan's IP45 rating gives it the clearance to be positioned where the extraction is most effective — at the point of steam generation, not across the room from it. This certification also makes it suitable for use in caravans, catering trailers, annexes, and other moisture-prone spaces where ventilation is needed but conventional installation isn't always possible.
Tunable LED lighting — 2950K to 6500K, 10 speeds, remote controlled
The two 4000K LED lights are fully dimmable and adjustable in colour temperature from warm 2950K through to cool daylight 6500K — so the bathroom lighting can be tuned to match the atmosphere you want rather than locked to a fixed tone. The remote control handles all ten fan speeds, the lighting, and the 20-minute auto-off timer. For a ceiling-mounted unit installed between joists, remote operation is the sensible arrangement — and the 10-speed range gives genuinely granular control from near-silent background ventilation through to maximum clearance speed.
Fits between ceiling joists. Dual-use by design.
The ultra-slim motor fits into ceiling joist spaces as shallow as 200mm high with 150mm width — the dimensions that correspond to standard UK joist sizing. Installation requires a 100mm (4") duct minimum. The fan is compatible with both 240v and 12v systems, making it equally at home in a domestic bathroom, a caravan, an annexe conversion, or a catering trailer. Available in Matt Black, Gloss White, and Brushed Stainless Steel across multiple width options. Register within 31 days for warranty coverage.
