Unit price perEstimated delivery between October 03 and October 05.
The Garden King Fan Speed Controller is a simple plug-in variable speed controller for compatible AC extraction and intake fans, giving growers manual control over ventilation without complicated wiring or installation.
Designed for indoor growing and ventilation applications, the controller sits directly between a suitable mains socket and fan. Simply plug the controller into the socket, connect the fan and use the rotary dial to adjust airflow to the required level.
With a maximum specified fan load of 1.3A / 300W, the Garden King controller is suitable for a range of compatible AC inline fans. Reducing fan speed can be particularly useful when full extraction is unnecessary, allowing airflow and ventilation noise to be adjusted to suit the environment.
This is a straightforward manual fan controller. It does not use a temperature or humidity sensor and does not automatically change fan speed, making it ideal where simple, inexpensive manual airflow adjustment is required.
Why choose the Garden King Fan Speed Controller?
- Variable fan speed control - manually adjust compatible AC fan output using the rotary dial.
- Plug-and-play operation - no hard wiring or complicated installation required.
- Suitable for intake or extraction - use with compatible AC ventilation fans within the controller's load rating.
- Up to 300W fan load - suitable for compatible fans up to the specified maximum load.
- 1.3A maximum load - check the connected fan rating before use.
- Adjustable airflow - reduce excessive extraction or intake when full fan output is unnecessary.
- Reduce ventilation noise - lowering fan speed can reduce overall airflow noise.
- Compact design - plugs directly into a standard UK mains socket.
- Simple rotary adjustment - quick manual control without menus, programming or sensors.
- Ideal for grow rooms and grow tents - an economical way to add manual speed control to a compatible ventilation system.
Simple plug-in fan speed control
The Garden King controller is designed to make manual ventilation adjustment as straightforward as possible.
Connect the controller to a suitable mains socket, plug a compatible fan into the controller and use the rotary dial to increase or decrease fan output.
There is no separate thermostat, temperature probe or control cable to install. This makes it particularly useful for straightforward ventilation systems where automatic environmental control is unnecessary.
Fine-tune grow room airflow
An extraction fan running permanently at full output can sometimes move considerably more air than a growing environment requires. This may increase noise, remove heat too quickly or make it more difficult to maintain the desired environmental conditions.
Adding manual speed control allows the grower to reduce fan output until the required balance between extraction, temperature and air exchange is achieved.
The controller can also be used with a compatible intake fan where manual control of incoming airflow is required.
Fan compatibility & maximum load
The Garden King Fan Speed Controller is specified for compatible fans with a maximum load of 1.3A / 300W. Always check the electrical specifications of the fan before connecting it.
It is commonly used with compatible AC inline ventilation fans, including suitable RVK-type fans. However, not every fan motor is designed to operate correctly with this type of manual speed controller.
The controller is also not recommended for some very small or low-powered AC fans where only a small part of the controller's adjustment range may be usable. If fan compatibility is uncertain, check the fan manufacturer's speed-control requirements before use.
Will this fan controller make an AC fan hum?
Some AC fan motors can produce an audible hum or buzz when their speed is reduced using a basic electronic fan controller. This is a characteristic of the interaction between certain motor designs and this type of speed control rather than necessarily a fault with the controller.
Lowering fan speed can still reduce the sound generated by moving air, but this controller should not be described as a silent fan controller.
Where eliminating motor hum is particularly important, a compatible transformer, variac or frequency-based controller may be a more appropriate option.
Manual control without unnecessary complexity
Not every ventilation system requires an automatic climate controller. For smaller grow tents and straightforward extraction systems, a manual controller can provide all the adjustment required at a considerably lower cost.
Once the required fan speed has been established, the dial can simply be left at that setting. Adjustments can then be made manually as environmental conditions or ventilation requirements change.
How to use the Garden King Fan Speed Controller
- Check that the fan is compatible with this type of variable speed controller.
- Confirm that the fan's electrical load does not exceed 1.3A / 300W.
- Plug the Garden King controller into a suitable UK mains socket.
- Connect the fan to the socket on the controller.
- Switch the equipment on and use the rotary dial to adjust fan speed.
- Check that the fan operates smoothly and reliably at the selected setting.
- Do not operate a fan below a speed at which its motor becomes unstable or fails to run correctly.
Manual fan controller or automatic climate controller?

Garden King Fan Speed Controller FAQs
What is the maximum load of the Garden King Fan Speed Controller?
The controller is specified for a maximum fan load of 1.3A or 300W. Always check the connected fan's electrical specifications before use.
Does the Garden King Fan Controller need wiring?
No. It is a plug-in controller designed to connect directly between a suitable UK mains socket and compatible fan.
Can I use it with an extraction fan?
Yes, provided the extraction fan is compatible with this type of speed control and remains within the controller's 1.3A / 300W maximum load.
Can it control an intake fan?
Yes. It can be used with a compatible intake or extraction fan within its electrical rating.
Can I use this controller with an RVK fan?
It is suitable for a range of compatible RVK-type fans, but fan size alone does not confirm compatibility. Check the fan's electrical load and speed-control requirements before connection.
Is it suitable for a 4-inch RVK fan?
This controller is not recommended for some small or low-powered RVK-type fans because only a limited portion of the adjustment range may be usable. Check the exact fan model before purchasing.
Will this fan speed controller make my fan hum?
Some AC motors can produce an audible hum when their speed is reduced using this type of electronic controller. If silent motor operation is essential, consider a compatible transformer, variac or frequency-based controller.
Does it automatically control temperature?
No. This is a manual speed controller and does not include a thermostat or temperature probe.
Can reducing fan speed reduce noise?
Reducing airflow can lower the noise produced by moving air and ducting, although some compatible AC motors may produce electrical hum when electronically speed controlled.
Can reducing fan speed save electricity?
A compatible fan operating at reduced output may consume less power than when running continuously at full output, although the exact reduction depends on the fan and control method.
Can I use this with an EC fan?
EC fans normally use a dedicated low-voltage or digital speed-control interface. Use the controller specified by the EC fan manufacturer rather than assuming a mains-side AC controller is suitable.
Is this suitable for grow tents?
Yes. It provides a simple way to manually adjust compatible ventilation fans in grow tents, grow rooms and other indoor growing environments.
How many Garden King Fan Speed Controllers are in an outer case?
An outer case contains 48 units.
