Our customers are at the forefront of what we do and we have a wide range to suit all of your requirements. Our commitment is to produce quality lighting and smart products that you can be confident in.
Brilliant is proud to introduce the first in our bathroom range, brushless Direct Current (DC) motor exhaust fan to meet the growing demand for home energy star rating. Not only does it offer a powerful ventilation performance, but also an aesthetic design that appeals to all decor.
Blizzard has been tested to perform under long ducting, and the resulting chart shows that the airflow (with 10m ducting) still remain reasonably well at around 50% of peak extraction.
*Testing is done based on 150mm duct diameter.
**Recommended to avoid sharp bends/turns, as it will reduce the airflow significantly.
& 22773/05
& 22774/05 IDEAL
The most energy efficient DC Exhaust Fan in its class!
• Our DC motor consumes up to 50% less power than most traditional AC motors and still achieves the same airflow extraction.
• Due to the lower operating temperature, it will outlast most AC counterparts in its lifespan. This means this may be the last exhaust fan you ever buy.
• Our duct adaptor can be easily removed to enable easy ducting installation. Each adaptor includes a backdraft stopper to prevent drafts from entering your home.

INSTALLATION
INFORMATION AND INSTALLATION TIPS
HEAT LAMPS
Heat Lamps have no warm up period because the infra-red lamps provide instantaneous heat, and are designed to heat you and not your bathroom. Also, to get the full benefit of infra-red warmth, stand directly under the heat lamps.
The half heat function is available on the 4 lamp models, and is another energy saving feature, allowing you to adjust the heat level to suit prevailing conditions or personal preference.
POSITIVE TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT (PTC) FAN HEAT
Unlike IR heat lamps, models like the Solace and Solace XL are designed to warm the room, essentially acting like a room heater.
VENTILATION
To ensure optimum performance of the exhaust fan, it is essential that there is adequate air flow into your bathroom to help the exhaust fan to quickly remove steam while you shower. It works by drawing steam-laden air from the room, and as with all exhaust fans it is essential that sufficient air inlet is provided. Ensure adequate inlets exist through windows, vents or under the door. Air flow path from inlet to fan should ideally pass over the steam source.
NOISE
All exhaust fans produced some noise due to the rapid movement of air through vents. This is normal and is not a defect of the product.
INSTALLATION GUIDE & TIPS
• For safety reasons it is not recommended to install bathroom heaters above shower recess. For optimum results, it should be installed directly above where you normally dry yourself.
• For larger bathrooms, it is recommended to installed additional ventilation, such as stand-alone exhaust fans. Make sure to check our recommended room size information.
• Always check the size and depth of your roof cavity before selecting the heaters/exhaust fans to install.
• If you are replacing an existing heaters/exhaust fans, make sure your new models can cover and fit the cut-out hole on your ceiling.
• Some of our exhaust fans have IPX4 Rated, which means they are safe to be installed directly above shower.
• Majority of our bathroom heaters and exhaust fans can be ducted. If you are using ducting, make sure to keep it as short as possible, and avoid any bends/corners.
• And finally, all our bathroom heaters and exhaust fans are design for ceiling installation only and are not suitable for wall.
IP RATINGS
HOW DO IP RATINGS RELATE TO A BATHROOM?
IP rating stands for ‘Ingress Protection rating’ and this helps determine where electrical products can go in particular bathroom zones. For bathroom related products it often refers to lighting, exhaust fans and bathroom heater units.
An IP (Ingress Protection) number or code is used in Australia to specify the protection of enclosures around electronic products with regard to moisture or water ingress. These ratings are determined by specific tests.
IP RATINGS EXPLAINED
The IP (Ingress Protection) number is composed of two numbers:
• The first number ranges from 0 - 6. This refers to the level of protection against solid foreign bodies such as dust.
• The second number ranges from 0 - 8. This refers to the level of protection against water.
The higher the number, the better the protection. For example, IP44 is protected against penetration of solid objects up over 1mm and from splashes of water. An IP67 light fixture, meanwhile, is completely dust tight and can withstand temporary water immersion. Only a rating of IP68 bathroom lighting and electricals are water resistant against long periods of immersion.
The type of product that requires an IP rating in the bathroom does vary, but generally it’s anything that uses electricity. This could be any sort of lighting or exhaust fan fitted on the ceiling or wall. You need to know the minimum rating required in your chosen zone to make sure you are fitting products safely and legally in your bathroom.
WHAT ARE BATHROOM IP ZONES?
TAKE A LOOK AT OUR DIAGRAM ABOVE TO EASILY IDENTIFY YOUR BATHROOM ZONES.
Bathroom zones are areas where electrical products must offer a certain degree of protection against water. The bathroom zone number refers to the amount of water likely to be present. The lower the zone number, the higher the IP rating needs to be. For example, Zone 0 covers areas inside baths or showers. These areas must have a particular minimum IP rating that protects against water immersion - in this case, IP67.
Zone 0
Zone 0 is inside the bath or shower itself. Any fitting used in this bathroom zone must be low voltage, (max 12V) and be rated at least IP67 which is total immersion proof. (We do not currently have any fittings that are suitable for Zone 0)
Zone 1
Zone 1 is the area above the bath to a height of 2.25m from the floor. An IP65 rating is recommended.
Zone 2
Zone 2 is an area stretching 0.6m outside the perimeter of the bath and to a height of 2.25m from the floor. In these bathroom zones an IP rating of at least IP44 is required. In addition, it is good practice to consider the area around a wash basin, within a 60cm radius of any tap, to be considered as Zone 2.
OUTSIDE ZONES
‘Outside Zone’ is anywhere outside zones 0, 1, and 2 (subject to specific limits) and where no water jet is likely to be used. No IP rating is required. However, if there is a likelihood of water jets being used for cleaning purposes in Zones 1, 2 and 3, a fitting rated to a minimum IP65 must be used.
GUIDE ONLY: Refer to AZ/NZS 3000:2018. Consult a qualified electrician for interpretation of the Standards for your particular situation.
