In 2004, an Australian inventor had a vision to create a ceiling fan that had blades concealed within a light pendant and only transformed into a ceiling fan when it was switched on.
The product now known as Fanaway consisted of a unique synchronized retractable mechanism and a uniquely shaped aerodynamic blade design capable of stacking over each other in retracted mode and generating significant airflow when the blades were deployed.
In October 2005, Fanaway appeared on the "New Inventors" show on the ABC TV. Soon after, Beacon Lighting was brought on board to partner with the inventor to develop the product to the manufacturing and production stages, and further promote and distribute Fanaway to the global market.
