    Fan that doesnt take up an outlet spot.

    Is there any fans that can be plugged into any of the power ports that are not a standard outlet. I like to have a fan running in the sump area to circulate the air, but I would also like it to be able to turn on and off periodically or turn off when im working down there.

    As this question is not specific to the Apex 2016, and the "power ports" you are referring to are called DC24 ports, I have moved your post from the Apex 2016 forum to the where it is now located: The DC24 Ports & Peripherals area.

    Please see the FAQ sticky at the top of this sub-forum for more info about the DC24 ports. In a nutshell though - if you can find a suitable fan which uses 24 volt DC power and that fan consumes less than 30 watts of power, you can use a cable specifically meant for DIY use (described in the FAQ sticky) and wire it up yourself.
    Please do not send me PMs with technical questions or requesting assistance - use the forums for Apex help. PM me ONLY if the matter is of a private or personal nature. Thanks.

    I just put together something similar to what you are asking. I used a 24VDC-12VDC step down transformer to power a 12VDC fan with one of the DC24 ports on my energy bar 832. I made a short video, hopefully one of the experts can take a look and verify if everything looks OK. https://youtu.be/_CgY7e46uTI
