Mercator Ikuu | Smart Minota DC Ceiling Fan with LED Light 1320mm | Black Body with Dark Timber Blades
The Mercator Ikuu FC628133GBK is a 1320mm DC ceiling fan with a dimmable LED light, rated 220-240V AC 50Hz and controlled over Wi-Fi with no hub required. The FC628133GBK draws 55W in total: 35W for the six speed DC motor and 20W for the LED panel. The fan carries a black powder coated metal housing with dark timber finish ABS blades. It complies with AS/NZS 60335.2.80 and AS/NZS 60598.1, and must be installed by a licensed electrician.
Most bedrooms and living areas are wired with a single ceiling point, which forces a choice between ventilation and illumination. The Minota integrates both functions, providing independent app and remote control over motor speed and light output. The LED panel adjusts continuously from 3000K warm white to 5700K cool white, so a single installation covers a bedroom, a study or an enclosed patio. Reversible airflow keeps air moving in summer and redistributes trapped warm air in winter.
Sparkies fitting smart installations get a fan that connects to an existing 2.4GHz network with no hub or gateway to mount and configure. The remote arrives with batteries, a wall bracket and mounting screws, which keeps the handover to a single visit. Grouping several Ikuu fans in the app lets one instruction operate a whole house, and the six speed DC motor holds a 65rpm minimum overnight. The 3 year in-home warranty is handled by Mercator on site, so a claim does not require uninstalling the fan.
Features
- 1320mm blade span — three ABS blades in a dark timber finish sweep 1320mm and move up to 10904m3/h of air at full speed.
- 35W DC motor — six speed settings run from 65rpm to 195rpm, set from the supplied remote or the Mercator Ikuu app.
- 20W LED light — produces 900lm at 3000K and 1000lm at 5700K, with a colour rendering index above 80.
- Adjustable colour temperature — the FC628133GBK shifts the light between 3000K and 5700K without any change to the fitting or the wiring.
- Dimming restriction — the light dims through the app or the supplied remote only and must not run through a separate dimmer.
- Wi-Fi direct connection — joins an existing 2.4GHz network on IEEE 802.11 b/g/n, so no hub or gateway sits between the fan and the app.
- Voice control — works with both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant once the fan is added in the app.
- Reversible direction — airflow reverses from the remote or the app for summer and winter operation.
- Off timers and schedules — 1, 4 or 8 hour off timers run separately for the fan and the light, with schedules set in the app.
- Powder coated metal housing — supplied with a 152mm downrod, and longer downrods in 600mm and 900mm lengths are available for high ceilings.
- Standby draw under 2W — the FC628133GBK holds its network connection on less than 2W while switched off.
- Hardwired 2.5mm2 terminals — connects to a 220-240V AC 50Hz supply and must be installed by a licensed electrician.
Where to use
- Bedrooms — the FC628133GBK runs at 65rpm on its lowest speed for overnight air movement, with the light dimmed from the remote beside the bed.
- Living and family rooms — 1320mm of blade span covers open living areas, and the 20W LED panel takes the place of a separate ceiling light.
- Home offices and studies — 5700K cool white at 1000lm suits desk work, then drops back to 3000K for the evening.
- Enclosed patios and alfresco areas — rated for enclosed outdoor locations that stay dry and sheltered from wind driven rain.
- Rental and investment properties — the supplied remote keeps the fan fully usable for tenants who never open the app.
- Smart home fit-outs — the FC628133GBK groups with other Ikuu devices in the app for scene and automation control.
- Raked ceilings — the supplied 152mm downrod suits a pitched ceiling up to a maximum 10 degree rake.
- Standard height ceilings — the lowest blade edge sits 303mm below the ceiling on the supplied downrod, and clearance to the floor must be at least 2.1m.
The FC628133GBK is not rated for exposed outdoor locations, so it should not go on an open deck, an unroofed pergola or anywhere it takes weather directly. The light must not be wired through a separate wall dimmer, because dimming runs through the app and the supplied remote only. Clearance rules also rule out any position where blade tips sit within 1.0m of a wall, or within 1.5m of a door, window, air conditioning outlet or neighbouring fan.
