A Safer Space with Haiku

New Product Release: 7/14/2020

Big Ass Fans just announced the release of this new virus killing Haiku ceiling fan, which will be "Assembled in the USA" to order in their Lexington KY facility. They estimate a 40 day turnaround from the time you place your order, but we predict the demand will quickly push the lead time closer to 6-8 weeks. If you are interested in this fan, please order now to avoid further delays.

Unseen airborne pathogens in your space can spread disease and cause stress for your friends and family. While following proper health precautions can limit your risk, these personal measures don’t directly address the source of the problem.

To make your gatherings safe and free from worry, Big Ass Fans now offers UV-C air disinfection technology on premium indoor Haiku fans. UV-C employs short-wave ultraviolet light that’s safe for humans but alters pathogens’ genetic structure, destroying their ability to replicate and infect occupants.

How Haiku with UV-C Works

Seamlessly integrated atop the fan, Haiku’s UV-C fixture directs invisible light upward, killing up to 99.9%* of viruses, bacteria, mold, and other harmful airborne agents that pass through the disinfection zone. Haiku’s powerful air mixing improves circulation within the space, bringing more pathogens into the disinfection zone and halting the spread of disease.

Available on new indoor Haiku ceiling fans, the UV-C technology is conveniently controlled through the Haiku by Big Ass Fans mobile app. Simply toggle Clean Mode to activate, or use the app’s automated preference settings to schedule routine disinfection for your space.

*Third-party tested in sealed 1,000 ft3 chamber with 60-inch Haiku on high speed setting. Haiku with UV-C technology achieved 99.9% reduction rate of a microbial suspension within 10 minutes. “Killing” is standard industry terminology for reduction rate.

Note: Haiku UV-C is not interchangeable or combinable with Uplight or the standard LED kit and cannot be installed by user post-purchase.
