I want to have this hooked up with the switch that has a separate rocker for the fan, light, and night light. Which one should I get?

I had mind installed with some other work so I can not answer your question. But FYI ... the light is very bright and the bulbs are not std. I ended up pulling the bulbs and just using the fan.

You should be able to wire these the way you want. Download the schematics from Panasonic to be sure. I wired fan with main lamp, night light separate.

All these fans can be connected like that. Choose your fan for air flow, then light and night light. I use a 3 rocker switch.

I've used Lutron switches. I used a rocker for the fan and night light and a separate switch for the light. Panasonic are the best. Good luck.

The switch is shunted internally meaning that you only have to run one feed to the switch. From the switch you have power for the fan, power for the light, and a third power wire for the night light.

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.

We only have a single switch so we use the on/off switch for the light and pull the chain if we want the fan on. But I wouldn't recommend buying this fan--the fan has issues of not working correctly.

Micah, The light can also be hooked up with a wall switch. In fact, that is how we have our Minka Aire (4) fans set up so the light can work with the remote and wall switch. Great fans!

I just use the remote even though the room is wired for separate light and fan. The fan itself should be able to handle wall switches, but you may need an electrician if you're not confident wiring yourself. We really like the fan. It runs perfect and is quite, the light is ample. We do have other lights in the room however.

Three switches. One for fan one for big bulb - regular light. One for 4w night light. They all are separate. Works great. Which switch works what depends on how the electrician hooks it up.

I rewired mine and have a separate switch for the fan and the lights. I often use the fan alone. But I always use the fan when using the lamps to prevent excessive heat buildup.

One of the switches is three way. This is for the night light and the main light. The switch in the middle is for the fan and the last one is for the heater. Your power to the switch is black ( hot) and white. Hope this helps.

I used an illuminated rocker switch, i believe there is a rocker switch on amazon made specifically for these light bars

This switch (I have one installed) has 3 functions. One for the night light, one for the "big light" and one for the fan. Works great. I've had it for about 6 months when I bought my awesome panasonic bathroom fans. :).

I did not use the switch that came with it. I got this one from Amazon: Laser Green Rocker Switch SASQUATCH LIGHTS 20A 12V On/off LED Light

I use this on a standard toggle. I also have one set up on a dual toggle plate where one toggle is set for the fan and the other for the light. In both cases the unit works fine. I am unsure what a flat rocker toggle is, but if that is the standard toggle it will work great. If the toggle movement and size is the same as a regular standard toggle it will also work fine as the toggle slides through an opening and the motion of the device is to move the opening up or down to switch the toggle on or off.

Yes you can connect it to a switch, however you will need to order the correct wall switch that is compatitable with that fan! Contact us for that part number! :)

You could use a TV cable outlet cover. It has a hole that is the same size as the rocker switch and come in various shades of plastic or metal. Amazon has these on their web site under "cable outlet" covers. I hope this helps you.

The bottom plate in the center of the fan unscrews with 2 screws. You can add any lite kit available that attaches to those 2 screws. I have not found one that will not work. When you remove the plate you will find the labeled wiring in side the cup for the light kit. It is designed to have a separate switch for the light if you have the proper hot leg at the ceiling where the fan mounts. If not then it will come on with the fan or you can add a separate pull switch

No, I have light on separate switch. I have fan and heater on same switch. Works great.
