I want to install this in my bedroom from the ceiling and use a wall switch to turn it on. Too loud? Can this be done?

It is way too loud for a bedroom. We installed in a huge garage -we have a t.v. in there and had to move it to a different spot in the garage because we couldn't hear the t.v. - It is great for our use but I don't think I would put in a bedroom unless you have a huge bedroom and don't mind the noise when you are trying to sleep.

We leave the light ON on the remote, so we can operate that with the wall switch, and then just use the remote for the fan, which we use much less often. So, it can be done. :-)

Hellow!! I believe not,this alarm is wall place installed, it sounds if the wall move, but if you have a powerful sound equipment that make the wall move, may be it's will sound.

Personally I cannot be 100% sure. However I would suppose it could. I say this because when you push the button it make a "CLICK" sound in the wall portion. I believe it is making this sound because some sort of actuator or something is actually moving a physical switch inside the wall unit. Therefore it disconnects the circuit like any "normal" wall switch.

Actually, I can use a wall-switch (for previous fan) to turn this fan on and off from a pre-set speed. Works great.

I use mine in my basement while I am working in the same room. It is not noisy in my opinion. I doubt anyone could hear it through a wall. Set it on a piece of short napped indoor/outdoor carpet or something.

There isn't a switch on mine. Possibly you could take it apart and pop out the bulb. If you are like me and prefer a very dark bedroom, the amount of light from this would be annoying.

I hard wired it into my main electrical box; thought it was a better & safer option. May be possible but I never considered it. I really like the unit but it is a bit noisier than I originally thought. Not a problem at all. I am very very happy with the unit!

The "Loudness" depends on where you place it in your attic and what room is below it. The noise from it does not reverberate through the house nor do we have to raise our voices in the room directly below the fan either. It is more "white noise" but is it super quiet? No but I would install it again just not above a bedroom. It's a great fan and quite reliable when installed correctly.

I would say no, for two reasons. The power requirement is probably too high, as you suspect. The other reason - it's really pretty loud!

Hi- I need to be able to do that! Ours is turning off after 30 min and we want it on all night. Not sure which switch does this.

cannot be turned off manually from the switch. Unless you have a on/off switch before it.If the area where you install it does not get enough light it will stay on all the time.

I hardwired the wall switch to be "ON" all of the time. The only problem is that the humidity sensor sometimes starts the fan in response to changes in the room air even when the shower is not in use. Darn kids!

you would probably have to get a plug that lets you do so...try going to a hardware store or a electrician, try calling one. I don't know if they have the plug in switch. soryy..but this is a cool gadget.

I am not sure but I think you can wire the unit as you may want. I have a separate switch for the night light. and a switch for the main light and the fan. The fan seems to be influenced by motion. I'm not sure if this is how the manufacturer designed it, but it seems to work for me. I bet you can customize it.

I wouldn't say its loud, but you can definitely hear it when it's on. Mine is hanging on a plaster wall not drywall.

I don't think it's possible to do what you want there...but keep in mind I'm no electrician. What I'm thinking you're describing is basically a light that has it's own control to half the power. The light switch simply sends the power to the unit or does not (when it's off). To the best of my knowledge, the only switch that could even come close to what you want is a dimmer type switch but as you may or may not know many "lighting appliances" warn that a dimmer switch cannot/should not be used with them. Even if it was ok, it would not instantly cut the power in half, you would have to approximate half if half was important to you, if it's simply dimming that would be nice to you...I would suggest checking the chandelier's installation instructions and see if they emphatically state that you cannot use a dimmer switch with it.
