Syntax Mart launches rechargeable ceiling fan with eight-hour backup
Syntax Mart has launched a rechargeable ceiling fan that it says uses 35 watts or less and provides up to eight hours of operation on a single charge, offering backup during power outages and load-shedding.
The company unveiled the product today (1 October), describing it as Bangladesh's first domestically manufactured rechargeable ceiling fan using brushless direct current (BLDC) technology, according to the press release.
Syntax Mart said the fan consumes 56% less power than conventional models rated at 60–80 watts. It also claimed annual electricity bill savings of Tk10,000–15,000.

Syntax Mart Managing Director Barrister FM Reaz ul Islam Sharear said, "This product solves Bangladesh's dual challenge of rising electricity costs and unreliable power supply. Our BLDC fan cuts power consumption by 50–60% while ensuring comfort during outages."
He also cited the company's ISO and LEED certifications as evidence of its commitment to quality standards.
The fan features five-speed remote control, Bluetooth smartphone app integration and compatibility with solar panels for off-grid operation.
The company said its noise level of 28 decibels made it suitable for hospitals, offices and homes.
Four variants are priced between Tk8,500 and Tk14,500, with a five-year warranty on the fan and a two-year warranty on the battery.
Syntax Mart described itself as an ISO 9001- and ISO 14001-certified manufacturer operating a LEED-certified facility. It said the factory uses solar power and follows zero-waste production practices.
The company also said all components meet Bangladesh Standards and International Electrotechnical Commission specifications.
A promotional offer, described by the company as a pre-launch offer, provides a 15% discount on the first 1,000 units, along with free installation and maintenance in Dhaka.
Syntax Mart estimates Bangladesh's rechargeable BLDC fan market at Tk3–5 crore annually, growing by 15–20% a year.
The company aims to sell 5,000 units within 12 months and plans to expand into South Asia, Southeast Asia and Africa in 2027–2028.
