Like the Alpha, the Omega comes with brand new 'pulse' technology enabling you to create a cooling breeze on those hot Summer days. When set to pulse, the fan varies its speed to generate a natural breeze effect, technology that is exclusive to the Alpha and Omega fans. In addition the Omega DC motor uses 60% less power consumption than a standard ceiling fan. It has 6 speeds in forward and reverse and comes complete with an integral remote control that also operates the reverse function.
