Clipsal by Schneider Electric | Ceiling Mounted Exhaust Fan 200mm Airflow | White
The Clipsal Airflow CE200N is a 240V ceiling-mounted exhaust fan rated 30W, designed to remove moisture and odours from bathrooms, kitchens, and laundries. The CE200N operates at 260 cubic metres per hour airflow and features a quiet ball-bearing motor that runs at just 45 decibels, making it ideal for residential applications where noise matters. This model complies with AS/NZS standards and carries a three-year Clipsal in-home warranty.
Bathroom and kitchen ventilation remains under-specified on many renovation jobs, leaving moisture to settle on ceilings and walls long after showers and cooking. Standard ceiling-mounted fans often struggle with steam volume or run too loud for morning and evening use. The CE200N addresses both constraints with its ball-bearing motor delivering strong, consistent airflow without the vibration or noise that brushed motors introduce. The 260 m³/h rating handles steam and odour removal quickly from spaces up to medium size, while the IPx4 splash-zone rating protects the motor from the moisture-rich air it's designed to clear.
Licensed sparkies value the CE200N for its straightforward mounting system and its place in the established Clipsal Airflow range, which allows stock consistency across multiple customer jobs. The motor's durability and quiet operation reduce call-backs, and the fanatics-friendly 850mm power lead simplifies wiring runs in tight ceiling cavities. Builders and renovators specify this fan when the customer budget supports quality over commodity, and when their reputation depends on getting the moisture management right on the first install.
Features
- Ball-bearing motor — eliminates the noise and vibration of brushed-motor designs, running at 45 decibels which is quiet enough for bedrooms and early-morning use.
- 260 m³/h airflow — rated for medium-sized bathrooms and kitchens, removing steam and odours within minutes of activation rather than hours of gradual clearing.
- IPx4 splash protection — motor and electrical components are rated for moisture-laden air and occasional splash, protecting longevity in high-humidity rooms.
- Recessed ceiling mounting — designed to sit flush in a standard 240mm diameter ceiling cut-out with a 305mm cover collar, fitting into most residential roof voids without modification.
- Dishwasher-safe grille — removable cover and grille can be cleaned in a household dishwasher, a practical convenience for long-term hygiene maintenance.
- 30W power consumption — modest wattage typical of ceiling fans, contributing minimally to household running costs compared to larger ducted ventilation systems.
- 850mm power lead with 3-pin plug — factory-supplied flexible cord reaches most ceiling junction boxes without requiring additional extension, reducing on-site electrical work.
- Three blades — balanced blade design reduces vibration and ensures stable operation on standard 16mm or 20mm flexible ducting.
- Double insulated — complies with safety standards for use in wet zones without requiring an earth conductor to the motor body.
- Clipsal brand heritage — the CE200N sits in the Airflow range, a mature product line used across Australian residential and light commercial projects for over a decade.
- Stackable packaging — supplied in compact carton designed for bulk storage and distribution, easing logistics on large-scale builds or rental property upgrades.
- Three-year domestic warranty — Clipsal in-home warranty covers manufacturing defects, with no need to uninstall or return the fan for repair within the warranty period.
Where to use
- Master bathroom ensuites — the CE200N removes steam from showers and ventilates odours in spaces where aesthetic finish and quiet operation are both important.
- Kitchens and meal prep areas — rated airflow clears cooking vapours and smells quickly, reducing grease transfer to wall surfaces and neighbouring rooms.
- Laundry rooms and drying areas — removes moisture from clothes dryers and wet-washing, preventing mould growth and condensation on walls and window frames.
- Rental properties and holiday homes — straightforward installation and quiet operation reduce maintenance call-backs and improve guest comfort in temporary accommodation.
- Renovation and new-build specifications — the CE200N is a standard spec in modern renovations where building standards require dedicated moisture ventilation separate from general-purpose ducting.
- Compact spaces and narrow roof voids — at 110mm depth and 200mm blade diameter, the CE200N fits into tight ceiling cavities where larger ducted fans cannot sit without modification.
- Lightweight roofing and steel-frame ceilings — the simple screw-mount clamp system doesn't require pilot holes in concrete or heavy-duty backing plates, making installation faster on varied substrates.
- Properties on noise-sensitive streets or near bedrooms — the 45dB noise rating places the CE200N in the "quiet background" category alongside a refrigerator, making early-morning or late-night ventilation practical without waking occupants.
The Clipsal Airflow CE200N is not suitable for outdoor or weatherproof installations, damp external walls, or unheated roof spaces where condensation forms on the motor body. Do not install the CE200N in continuous-run applications exceeding eight hours per day, or in high-temperature environments above 40 degrees Celsius, as the motor was designed for intermittent domestic use only. The fan should be ducted to external roof or wall termination; recirculation back into the ceiling space defeats the moisture-removal purpose and voids the warranty.
