how far away do you have to be from the fan to work the remote? i want to mount it close to 14ft up.

if i'm off to the side of the fan it only has a range of about 6 ft and that's when i'm standing up and the remote is slightly lower than the bottom of the fan (where the eye is that detects the remote). if i'm standing directly in front of the fan it's range is probably 8 to 9 feet. bottom line is ... the remote is kinda cheesy, it should have a range of at least 14 feet, closer to the size of an avg. room.

Not sure on exacts, but it's good at 16 feet for sure (just tested mine). May not work from a distance if you have it elevated 14 feet.

Mine is set up at a 6 foot range . I am assuming it is like a tv remote with a 20 foot range depending on lighting conditions. I can't guarantee anything ...

I have it mounted 12 ft high on my bedroom wall. The remote works very well from my bed, which is roughly 14 ft away. The remote is infrared so you have to have line of sight. Hope this helps!

Our fan is about 14" from the ceiling. We have 8' ceilings and there seems to be plenty of head room. Get it--you will love it.

The remote works up to 5 feet away. For further assistance, please email support@satechi.com.Thank you,Satechi Technical Support

It would work well at that height for a small area and be very bright directly underneath. The higher you mount the more the light will spread. I think 14 ft is optimum. Mine are mounted at 15ft and spaced about 10ft apart. Very uniform light configured like that.

I have it mounted 14 feet high I'd would say about half way 9 inches. It's worth the price foe the look. Not very high quality but look really good for the money.

My remote us not wired into the wall. I have it so I can use like a TV remote. Hope this answer your question. The fan is beautiful.

Agree with Eric. My switch is about 12 ft. away but before I "installed" it, I tested it at various distances.

It depends on how you are using it. Ideally you want it on some sort of boom mount as it works better above than beside the piece you are soldering. Also, if you lay the unit down it has decreased distance. I have found that it is good for up to eight to ten inches beside the work you are doing in the upright mode. The fan is really powerful for such a small unit.

I put fans (2) in adjacent rooms. Both fans work with the same remote. I just point the remote at the fan I want to adjust and it works.

The directions say to only mount it 2 to 3 feet from the floor. That is what we did. Make sure you know how much room you need for your t.v.

Approx 15 - -20' I already had a pre-wired room so didn't need any more then a couple of feet. I don't know about the remote, but it has all the codes for other tv's.

I have had the remote work at 15 feet. Never tried any further since that was the longest distance we have needed on most jobs. Hope that helps

Have a 15 foot ceiling and it flies to the top and is good up to 20 feet within range of the remote. You will enjoy this machine.

Sorry, my garage is attached to my house so I'm not really qualified to answer that question. I know my regular remote (in my car) works well past 70 feet. Probably double that.

I mounted it directly to the ceiling because of height restrictions. This is a nice fan and really works well at moving the air.

The manufacturer says, "The TH-WH-PJ-CM telescopic projector mount securely supports your projector on a pole and can be extended up to 900mm (35.5")". So it basically will go down 3 feet. This will get you past most ceiling fans. IMO If you really need 5 feet, you'd had to look into dropping some wood from the ceiling and then attaching this mount to that.

OK, had to actually test it. Works fine. Tried about 15-20 feet away, but since it was line of sight, I also checked it from an adjoining room. Passed with flying colors. 15 feet away on a couch should be fine.
