Can this fan be attached to a light hookup that has a dimmer?

I'm not sure if it can be directly connected to a dimmer on an existing light switch. How can you manage the fan control? I purchased a Hunter remote control that manages the fan control as well as the light and it acts as a dimmer too.

No. It also requires a special bulb with terrible color, hard to find and not dimmable. This will keep me from purchasing another fan in the future.

It is designed with a full range dimmer on one swith for lights and a 3 way dimmer on the other for a fan so I don't believe it would function the way you would want it to for 2 lights.

I have a dimmer switch attached to one fan and had no problems, just attached the fan to the wiring in the ceiling.

I don't think so. I have two of these fans and I dimmed one of them with lower watt bulbs.

No. It connects directly to the fan motor wire. You do need a wire that's separate from the lighting, and a fan that does not have a built in controller (or one you can bypass). In other words, if you now have two separate wall switches for the fan and light, this is a direct replacement for the fan switch.

Well, our fan is hooked up using the wall switch but you kind of need the remote to speed up and slow down also the dimmer is on the remote.

Yes it can. We wired ours on a separate switch so it operates independently of the lights. It's a great little fan.

Although you can wire the fan and the light separately, it is not necessary. Both can be connected to the same power source.

Yes, it is not a dimmer, so pull cords on the fan/light would have to be used to control speed and number of bulbs in use at time switch is turned on. Not sure why one would need remote control of fan/light unless this is the only one in the area that needs to look like it is being lived in

I'm not an electrician but it works fine with my porch light. I would think that if your exaughst fan runs with a switch that it could. I did have to email the company that I bought mine from as the first one they sent was faulty but they sent a new one right away and didn't even request for the faulty one to be sent back. Hope this helps.

If you're asking can I wire in lighting on the same circuit, the answer is yes. If you're asking if you can put lights on the fan, I'd say no.I wired in two can lights on the same source, but have it on a separate switch from the fan, both dim-able. If you are using dim-able switches you should not wire in lights on the same dimmer switch - that would be a safety risk.

Yes. It can be, if you wire it that way. There are 3 individual feed wires, for, (1)the fan, (2)the main light and (3)the night light, so that you could connect the fan and the main light to one switch, and the night light to a second switch. The combined current(amps) of the fan and the main light is very low, and is well within the capability of a standard light switch.

I do not have mine hooked up to a dimmer, but I don' see why you couldn't. With a dimmer, the bulbs are more important than the lighting hardware.

Yes. I was able to install one of these dimmer switches next to a single pole switch in a double gang box. The dimmer controls 12 LED lights in my livingroom and is next to a switch for a ceiling fan. I am very happy with how well this dimmer performs.

Sorry, I don't know. I love the fixture but have it in the kitchen where I don't have a dimmer switch. I've had other fixtures hooked up to dimmers by an electrician and don't see any reason why this one couldn't be. Best to check with an electrician, though.

I think so if you ceiling mount it (I don't remember if this is an option). I really like this fan/light combo, very attractive for a $100 fan.
