The iLIVING ILG8SF12V is a 12-inch wall shutter exhaust fan that iLIVING rates at 960 CFM on only 65 W and 0.6 A. It is the lowest-power documented exhaust fan in the catalog, a good fit for attics, sheds and small garages.
What works
- 960 CFM on high from a 12-inch blade
- iLIVING rates it at 960 CFM on 65 W and 0.6 A at 115 V
- Compact 15 x 15-inch frame, 5 3/4 inches deep, with a suggested 13-inch opening
What doesn't
- Variable speed needs a separate iLIVING controller (ILG8SFST or ILG8SFSC)
- No published noise rating or warranty term
Who it's for
Good fit
- Attics, sheds and single-car garages that need steady, low-cost exhaust
- Long or continuous run times, where 65 W keeps the power bill small
- Small wall openings, about 13 inches per iLIVING's manual
Look elsewhere if
- Two-car garages, shops or barns that need several thousand CFM
- Buyers who want speed control out of the box, since the controller is sold separately

See price on AmazonWhy it stands out
The ILG8SF12V does a small job cheaply. iLIVING's product page rates it at 960 CFM from a 65 W, 0.6 A motor on 115 V, spinning at 1,650 RPM. No other documented exhaust fan in the catalog draws less power, which matters for a fan that runs all afternoon in an attic or shed.
The hardware is sensible for the job. The listing describes automatic aluminum shutters that close when the fan stops, and a fully enclosed motor that is thermally protected and permanently lubricated. iLIVING's manual gives a compact 15 x 15-inch frame, 5 3/4 inches deep, for a suggested 13-inch wall opening.
What to know before you buy
- Airflow: the product page says 960 CFM, but iLIVING's family manual lists a lower figure for the ILG8SF12V. Size it for the lower end if the space is borderline.
- Speed control: the fan is variable-speed capable, but only with a controller sold separately, either the ILG8SFST thermostat speed control or the ILG8SFSC remote kit.
- Installation: it needs a wall opening and a power connection. Check how your unit connects before planning the wiring, and give the space an intake vent so the fan has air to move.
- Noise: iLIVING publishes no dBA figure.
How it compares
- AC Infinity AIRLIFT T14: rated at 1,513 CFM on 70 W, with a published 68 dBA and a WiFi environment controller built in. It gives more air for nearly the same power, plus automation.
- Maxx Air IF14UPS: a 14-inch galvanized fan rated at 1,400 CFM, but it draws 310 W and has one speed. Choose it for toughness, not efficiency.
- iLIVING ILG8SF24V-T: the 24-inch sibling, rated at 4,200 CFM with two speeds and a built-in thermostat, for garages and shops the 12-inch can't clear.
Bottom line
The ILG8SF12V is the efficient choice for small spaces. Buy it for an attic, shed or small garage. Step up to the AC Infinity T14 or a 24-inch iLIVING when you need more air.
Verdict
Buy the ILG8SF12V if you want the cheapest-to-run documented exhaust fan for an attic, shed or small garage. Skip it for bigger spaces; the AC Infinity T14 adds airflow and app control, and a 24-inch shutter fan moves several times the air.

Put 960 CFM in context
The iLiving New Upgraded 12" Wall Mounted Exhaust Fan has a listed airflow of 960 cubic feet per minute. The table compares this rated volume with example room volumes. It does not measure fresh-air exchange, air speed at your body, or room coverage.
| Room | Size | Nominal room volumes / hour | Nominal pass interval |
|---|---|---|---|
| One-car garage | 22 × 12 × 9 ft · 2,376 ft³ | 24× | 2.5 min |
| Two-car garage | 22 × 20 × 9 ft · 3,960 ft³ | 15× | 4.1 min |
| Workshop | 40 × 30 × 12 ft · 14,400 ft³ | 4× | 15 min |
| Warehouse bay | 100 × 50 × 16 ft · 80,000 ft³ | 0.7× | 83 min |
A circulation fan does not by itself replace indoor air. Exhaust airflow depends on a makeup-air path and system resistance. Use installed outdoor airflow for ventilation calculations.
Formula: airflow × 60 ÷ room volume. CDC explains the ventilation form of this equation; here the input is a catalog rating, so the result is a volume comparison.
