Martec | Quantum DC Ceiling Fan 1220mm 36W | Matt White with LED Light
The Martec MQDC1243WR is a 1220mm DC ceiling fan with an integrated 24W LED light and remote control, finished in matt white. The MQDC1243WR runs on a 36W brushless DC motor rated for 220-240V operation, delivering airflow up to 11,862 cubic metres per hour across six speeds. The fan carries a two-year in-home warranty and must be installed by a licensed electrician.
Conventional AC ceiling fans consume more power and offer only a few coarse speed settings, which restricts comfort in living areas and bedrooms. The Quantum DC motor combines low running cost with six graduated speed steps, so airflow adjusts from a gentle breeze to full output. An integrated 24W LED light removes a separate ceiling fixture, freeing one wiring position in the room.
Licensed electricians fit the MQDC1243WR as a single-point upgrade that swaps an old fan and light for one DC unit wired to the existing ceiling point. The remote handles speed, dimming, colour temperature, and reverse mode, so no extra wall control or dimmer needs installing. Quick install and low callback risk make it a straightforward line on a renovation or new-build quote.
Features
- 36W brushless DC motor — the MQDC1243WR uses a direct current motor that draws less power than a comparable AC fan and runs quietly across all six speeds.
- 1220mm blade span — four ABS blades give a 1220mm (48 inch) sweep suited to standard bedrooms, living rooms, and covered outdoor areas.
- Integrated 24W LED light — the built-in LED outputs up to 2500 lumens and removes the need for a separate ceiling light in the room.
- Adjustable colour temperature — the LED steps through 2700K, 3000K, 4000K, 5000K, and 6000K, from warm white to cool daylight, set from the remote.
- Variable dimming — the light dims steplessly from the remote without a separate wall dimmer wired into the circuit.
- Six speed settings — airflow ranges from 3,455 to 11,862 cubic metres per hour, tuned to the room and the season.
- Summer and winter reverse — the remote reverses blade direction to push air down in summer and circulate warm air in winter.
- Breeze and sleep modes — the MQDC1243WR includes a breeze mode for varied airflow and a sleep mode that steps speed down overnight.
- Off-timer — a 1, 4, or 8-hour off-timer runs from the remote, so the fan shuts down without manual switching.
- Remote control supplied — the handset ships with a 12V A23 battery and runs on 433MHz radio frequency for light, fan, and mode control.
- 50,000-hour LED life — the light is rated for 50,000 hours at 25 degrees ambient, reducing globe changes over the service life of the fitting.
- Indoor and covered outdoor only — the ABS body suits internal rooms and covered patios but is not rated for full weather exposure or wet locations.
Where to use
- Bedrooms — the MQDC1243WR combines quiet DC airflow with a dimmable light, suited to bedrooms where low noise and adjustable brightness matter.
- Living and family rooms — the 1220mm span moves air across open living areas, with six speeds to match the room and the season.
- Home offices and studies — cool white light at 6000K supports desk work while the fan keeps the room comfortable.
- Covered patios and alfresco areas — the fan is rated for covered outdoor use where it stays shielded from direct rain and weather.
- Renovations and fan upgrades — the MQDC1243WR replaces an older AC fan on an existing ceiling point without new wall controls.
- New residential builds — the integrated light and remote suit new-build rooms specified for one ceiling fixture rather than separate fan and light.
- Rental and investment properties — one fitting covers cooling and lighting, reducing the fixtures a landlord maintains per room.
The MQDC1243WR is not rated for full weather exposure and should not be installed in open, uncovered outdoor areas or wet locations exposed to rain. It is designed for indoor rooms and covered outdoor spaces only, where it stays shielded from direct weather.
