    Abstract: A fan device comprises a processor, a fan motor and a light emitting element. The processor comprises an input terminal, a first and a second output terminals. An initial mode of the processor is in one of a rotation speed control mode and a light emission control mode. The input terminal is configured to receive an input instruction, and the input instruction comprises a first characteristic. The fan motor is electrically connected to the first output terminal, and the light emitting element is electrically connected to the second output terminal. When a value of the first characteristic is within a characteristic value range, the processor is switched from the initial mode to the other of the rotation speed control mode and the light emission control mode. When the value of the first characteristic is not within the characteristic value range, the initial mode of the processor is maintained.
