Low-Profile Housing for Smaller Ceiling Cavities
Do you have 2" x 6" joists in your ceiling? Are you having trouble finding a ventilating fan that will fit in this small cavity? Well, this model was made just for you. Designed to fit 2" x 6" joists or larger, this low-profile fan doesn't sacrifice performance for size. An optional 3" duct adaptor1 is also included for those areas where a smaller duct is necessary.

Add Some Overhead Light to Your Room
This unit not only ventilates the air in your room, but provides overhead lighting as well. Two 13-watt compact fluorescent lamps will provide plenty of overhead lighting while the convenient, 4-watt nightlight will help you find your way through the room in the dark.

So Quiet You Might Not Know it's On
This WhisperFit-LiteT fan features a totally enclosed condenser motor and a large, double suction blower wheel to quietly move air. A small wheel turning very fast will create more noise than a large wheel turning more slowly for a given airflow. Our fan uses a wide blower wheel that moves a large amount of air at reduced RPMs. The blower wheel is also designed to draw air in from both sides, which helps keep the noise down, as there is more area for the air to enter the wheel. In fact, it is quiet enough that you might not even know it's on.

Continuous, Trouble-free Operation for Many Years
This fan is designed to give you continuous, trouble-free operation for many years thanks in part to its high-quality components and permanently lubricated motors which wear at a slower pace. Also, since heat is always detrimental to motor life (the cooler the environment, the longer the motor will last), we designed the electrical configuration of this model's condenser motor to allow it to operate at lower temperatures, increasing the life of the motor and bearings. And, the fan housing is made of heavy-gauge zinc galvanized steel and painted to protect it from rust.

User-Friendly Installation
Detachable adaptors, firmly secured duct ends, adjustable mounting brackets (up to 26"), fan/motor units that detach easily from the housing and uncomplicated wiring all lend themselves to user-friendly installation. This model also features a double-hanger bar system for ideal positioning.

Energy StarŽ Qualified for Energy Savings
Energy Star qualified products feature super-quiet operation and high CFM-to-Watt efficiency. The Energy Star program was created to help consumers identify products that can save them money and protect the environment by saving energy. As an Energy Star partner, all our fans are Energy Star qualified and labeled accordingly.

Tired of Cold Air Coming Through Your Ventilation Fan?
This Panasonic fan has a built-in damper to prevent backdraft, which helps to prevent outside air from coming through the fan. Also, thanks to our efficient, cool running motors and fluorescent bulbs, it does not create excessive heat-a common problem with recessed lighting fixtures and some competitors' fan/light combinations. Loose fill or batt insulation can be placed directly over the fan housing to prevent heat from escaping.

Noise vs. Light

Pros:

Comments about Panasonic WhisperFit-Lite Low Profile Bathroom Fan with Lights FV-05VFL2:

My electrician suggested this fan to me when I told him the one I acquired w/my home purchase was so loud and repetitious in its cycle it was comparable to water torture. It is very quiet which is a refreshing change; however, as much as I detested the abrasive sound of my old fan, it at least used one mere incandescent light bulb compared to the two glaringly bright fluorescent bulbs that come with this fan. Fortunately, I insisted to my electrician I'd rather pay for an extra switch to include the night light bulb option that comes with this fan. I'm so glad I did. It's a beautiful thing. I can't imagine not having the night light option as at 3am the fluourescent bulbs would be unbearable and the night light is perfect.

Comments about Panasonic WhisperFit-Lite Low Profile Bathroom Fan with Lights FV-05VFL2:

Best suited for new construction. Took about 3 hours to install as a replacement unit. Installer needs to be a bit handy. Fluorescent bulbs take about a minute to come to full brightness. Instant "on", but only about 70 percent capacity.

ULTRA quiet but not that powerful
By BryanVerified Buyer from Madison, WI on 5/6/2009

Not Very Powerful

Comments about Panasonic WhisperFit-Lite Low Profile Bathroom Fan with Lights FV-05VFL2:

This fan is so quiet you can hardly tell it is on! The night light is a nice touch...my wife likes that a lot. The install was easy, although, if you don't already have a switch box wired for three switches you will have to either run new wire from the fan to the box or splice the fan and light together so they run on the same switch. My old fan tested at about 45 CFM and this new one seems to be a little bit less powerful (based on fog on the window from a shower) so I wouldn't be surprised if it tested closer to 40 than 50 CFM. Other than that, no complaints and I love the quiet!!!

Comments about Panasonic WhisperFit-Lite Low Profile Bathroom Fan with Lights FV-05VFL2:

This must be the quietest fan out there. It comes with a 3" adapter, which is a nice touch even though I didn't need it. I installed it as a replacement for an existing fan, and with access to the fan from above it wasn't hard at all.
