About Us

The Fan Shop started off in 1984 originally as All Type Lighting in Adelaide, South Australia. Since then, the focus has shifted from general lighting to a specialist in ceiling fans and ventilation products. Over the years The Fan Shop has earned the reputation of being one of the most trusted stores for ceiling fan products having one of the largest ranges with customers from across the Australia choosing The Fan Shop for the fan needs.

All of our friendly staff have extensive knowledge of our products right down to the intricate technical details. We regularly learn from our suppliers and electricians to continually improve our expertise to better help our customers. This allows us to find the best option quickly and efficiently for your needs, whether you are after bedroom fan with a specific airflow, a unique design fan for your living area, an outdoor fan that will last in harsh conditions, or even a replacement glass cover for a fan that has been discontinued for years.

We strive on providing each and every one of our customers the time and information they deserve, no matter if you are simply trying to find a light globe or are fitting fans for an entire apartment complex, regardless how small or big, we are always here to help.

The Fan Shop has now evolved into The Fan Shop + as our range has increased far beyond just ceiling fans. We now have a big range of exhaust fans, ventilation units, heaters, lighting, and smart products. Along with our increased range we also offer more flexible options to shop with us and get your products faster than ever.

If you are looking for a product or advice and not sure where to start, simply drop us a line or give us a call and we’ll be happy to get you started!

Since our humble beginnings in 1984 as All Type Lighting in Adelaide, we've evolved from general lighting to becoming one of Australia's leading specialists in ceiling fans, lighting, and ventilation products. Today, we're proudly known as The Fan & Light Shop, reflecting our expanded focus on both form and function.

In March 2024, after nearly four decades at our original Hendon location, we relocated to a spacious, stylish showroom in Mile End, Adelaide. Unlike crowded and outdated stores, our new space is thoughtfully designed, offering you a relaxed and enjoyable shopping experience. It's the perfect environment to comfortably explore our extensive range of energy efficient ceiling fans, stunning LED lighting, and high-quality outdoor ceiling fans, all specifically chosen for the unique demands of Australian living.

Our expert staff aren't just friendly—they're borderline fanatical about the products we sell. Seriously, their product knowledge is so detailed it's almost scary! Whether you're after precise airflow recommendations, durability advice for harsh outdoor conditions, or beautiful decorative lighting options for your living area, our team has the solution. And if things get really technical, our close relationships with electricians and builders ensure you'll always get reliable, industry level insights.

For those who need a little extra visual magic or in depth planning, our own lighting consultant offers personalised consultations. With over 40 years of lighting industry experience, and specialising in creating customised lighting plans tailored to your needs, whether you're renovating a single room or embarking on a major commercial project. Consultations are available in store, via home visits in Adelaide, or even through phone or video calls Australia wide.

We’re also proudly solution driven and ultra competitive with our pricing, happily matching or beating competitors to ensure you always get the best deal possible. But beyond price, what truly matters to us is quality, sustainability, and customer satisfaction. We believe great products shouldn’t just look good, they should last for years, reducing waste and saving energy in the process. Sustainability is important to us, and we're continually making improvements to become an even more eco friendly business.

Although our physical presence is now focused at our Mile End showroom after closing our Cumberland Park location in early 2025, we serve customers nationwide through our convenient online store, shipping Australia wide.

Whether you're a homeowner, designer, architect, electrician, builder, or DIY enthusiast, The Fan & Light Shop is here to make your project effortless and exciting. From helping you choose the perfect fan or light to detailed planning consultations, our goal is simple: give you exceptional products, unbeatable expertise, and service you'll rave about.
