Briloner 3963016 review
A compact 38 cm ceiling light with a fan built in, rated by Briloner at 15 W for the DC fan motor and 24 W / 2,600 lumens for the LED, with three colour temperatures, five speeds and a reversible motor for winter recirculation, all controlled by the included remote.
The bottom line The most consistently available fan in this family — same ASIN, same price, strong sales rank on all four core markets — and the only genuinely compact option. Its 15 W motor is built for a small room's ambient breeze, not the airflow of the larger fans reviewed alongside it.
A light fixture with a fan built in, not the other way round
At 38 cm across and 14 cm tall, the Briloner 3963016 reads first as a flush LED ceiling light and second as a fan — the 24 W LED array, rated at 2,600 lumens across three colour temperatures, is the brightest published light output of the four fixtures in this family. The fan motor, by contrast, is rated at just 15 W across five speeds, which Briloner’s own copy frames as a supplementary breeze for the room rather than a primary cooling appliance. Anyone comparing it against the 106 cm EXTRASTAR or 132 cm ROTTOGOON fan should read the 38 cm span as a genuinely different product category: a compact bedroom or office fixture, not a room-circulation fan.
Reversible motor, same claim as the larger fans
Despite its size, Briloner states the DC motor runs in both directions — a downdraught for summer cooling and a reversed rotation in winter to redistribute warm air that collects near the ceiling. That puts the 3963016 on equal footing with the EXTRASTAR and ROTTOGOON fans on this specific feature, and ahead of the cheaper MiKoMiKa fan, which makes no such claim on any market we checked. As with the other two, this is Briloner’s own description of the mechanism, not an independently measured reduction in heating cost.
The most consistent availability of the four
We checked ASIN B0GJT9KKH6 — EAN 4002707494010 — on Amazon.de, Amazon.fr, Amazon.it and Amazon.es. All four showed an identical €49.95 listed price at the time we checked, and all four carried a strong local sales rank: 660 on Amazon.de, 168 on Amazon.fr, 125 on Amazon.it and 242 on Amazon.es. That’s a meaningfully different pattern from the other three fans in this family, none of which is confirmed for sale — at a consistent price — on all four core markets simultaneously.
What’s missing against the bigger fans
Briloner doesn’t publish a decibel figure for the fan, so there’s no noise comparison against the sub-35 dB claim made by ROTTOGOON for its larger fan. Control is remote-only, with separate timers for the light and the fan but no app or voice-assistant integration, unlike the ROTTOGOON fan reviewed alongside it.
Bottom line
For a small room, the Briloner 3963016 is the easiest of the four fans to actually buy — identical ASIN, identical price and solid demand across DE, FR, IT and ES. It isn’t a substitute for a full-size fan in a larger room; the 15 W motor and 38 cm span are built for a bedroom or office, with the bright, dimmable LED doing at least as much of the work as the fan.

What we like, and what we don't
Strengths
The only fan in this family confirmed for sale at an identical €49.95 price on all four core markets, each with a strong sales rank (660 DE / 168 FR / 125 IT / 242 ES)
Reversible DC motor for winter air redistribution, same claim as the pricier EXTRASTAR and ROTTOGOON fans
2,600 lm LED with 3 colour temperatures is the brightest published light output of the four fans reviewed here
Compact 38 cm diameter and 1.2 kg weight suit a small bedroom or box room a full-size fan wouldn't fit
Established European lighting brand (Briloner) with a published EAN, unlike two of the other three fans in this family
Compromises
15 W fan motor is the smallest of the four — this is a light fixture with a supplementary breeze, not a room-cooling fan
5 speed steps versus 6 on the other three fans reviewed alongside it
Remote only, no app or voice control
At 38 cm, blade span is far short of the 106–132 cm fans in this comparison, so air movement is local rather than whole-room

Questions people actually ask
Is the Briloner fan strong enough to cool a living room?
Briloner rates the fan motor at 15 W, the lowest of the four fans in this family — a figure that points to a supplementary breeze from a compact fixture rather than the kind of air movement a 106–132 cm fan produces. It suits a small room, not an open-plan living space.
Does it work as a winter fan too?
Briloner's own copy states the motor runs in both directions: downward for a cooling breeze in summer, and reversed to redistribute warm air that collects near the ceiling in winter. That's the manufacturer's description of the mechanism, not an independently measured heating saving.
Is the price the same across Amazon.de, .fr, .it and .es?
Yes — we checked ASIN B0GJT9KKH6 on all four marketplaces and found an identical €49.95 listed price on each, with sales ranks between 125 and 660 in each local fan category, which is the most consistent availability of any fan in this comparison.
Our score
7.3/ 10
The most consistently available fan in this family — same ASIN, same price, strong sales rank on all four core markets — and the only genuinely compact option. Its 15 W motor is built for a small room's ambient breeze, not the airflow of the larger fans reviewed alongside it.
Who this one is for
A small bedroom, nursery or home office in any of the four core markets, where a compact fixture, a bright dimmable light and a reversible motor matter more than raw airflow.

B0GJT9KKH6 (EAN 4002707494010, identical price and ASIN on DE, FR, IT, ES)
106 cm · reversible DC motor · folding blades · remote
A 106 cm ceiling fan with a light built in, whose blades fold flat against the fixture for a pendant-lamp look when idle. EXTRASTAR states a reversible DC motor for summer downdraught and winter recirculation, three LED colour temperatures, six speeds and a 2h/4h timer, all via the included remote.
Best for: A bedroom or living room in a DE, FR or IT household that wants a genuine year-round reversible motor and a fold-away light look, without needing app control.
50 cm housing · 96 W combined · folding blades · remote
A budget ceiling fan and light combined into one 50 cm housing, with blades that fold flat against the fixture when the fan isn't running. MiKoMiKa states 96 W combined draw across a 36 W DC fan motor and a 60 W LED array with three colour temperatures, controlled by the included remote with six speeds, a memory function and a timer.
132 cm · app + remote · reversible DC motor · <35 dB
The largest fan in this family at 132 cm, with dual control via the included remote and a companion smartphone app. ROTTOGOON states a reversible DC motor rated below 35 dB, a 24 W LED with three colour temperatures and stepless 10–100% dimming, six speeds, and a 2h/4h timer.
Best for: A larger room on the German market where the biggest blade span in this comparison and app control are worth the higher price, and a buyer is comfortable with a short app-pairing setup step.
