What if you currently only have 1 switch that turns on the vanity light and the current fan, can you use this one connected the same way? with only one switch?

If your power source is connected to only one switch the fixture must be wired so the fan and light are wired togther. Fan and light will power on/off togther.

Yes, you can just join the light and the fan wires together in the junction box on the unit to control both from one switch.

Any regular single pole switch will work or a single pole duplex/double switch will work as well. ( sometime they call it 2 way switch ) One switch for the light and the other for the fan. Good luck.

There is a separate branch circuit in the unit so that you can wire it to its own switch. If you install it as it comes, then the fan will go on with the light. There is a wiring diagram in the package that tells you how to wire it. Good luck!

I don't think so. The light that is controlled by the switch is the light associated with a fan and wired into that and not separate light

Richard, as far as the wiring goes there is no problem. What you need to be concerned about is running too much power though the switch which could cause an electrical fire. your fans are rated at 31 watts for the fan and two 40-watt light bulbs, therefore with two fans you will have a demand of 62 watts on the fan control and 160 watts on the light control. the switch is rated for 143 watts on the fan and 300 watts on the light, so you should be OK. You should still check with a local electrician that is familiar with electrical codes in your area to make sure you're safe. Good Luck!

Not necessarily...but you should. You'll need power to the fan obviously and power to the switch, but you don't need to wire the switch to the fan directly. The switch communicates (light, speed) to the fan wirelessly. The initial setup requires you to sync the switch to the fan which is done at initial power. So if separate circuits they need to come up at the same time.

Yes, there is no reason you cannot do this. You could wire it so both lights and the fan come on simultaneously if you wanted... but obviously not recommended since you only need the fan when the shower is running.

Yes. There is a switch for the light, and a separate switch for the fan so that they work independently. So you could have the light on without the fan, or the fan on without the light, or have them both on at the same time.

I'm not an electrian but we have multiple lights running in one line and we use one switch. I don't know if this is what you meaned. For safety purposes it's best that you get the advice of an electrician.

First of all, I'm not an electrician. Secondly, it was not designed to control two fans. With that said, I don't see any reason why it would not be able to control two fans. Be advised that one side of the switch has four settings for the fan - low, medium, high and very high. The other side is a true "slide" from zero to 100. I hope this helps. Good luck.

I don't see why not. Just make sure you use a 4 wire connection to run the fan and light separately from the same single switch(es). Or, if you are using separate individual switches then I guess you'd be alright as well wiring each.

Yes, if I read your intention correctly. There are dip switches that pairs the remotes with the fans. When I installed my fan, the remote operated two fans, the new fan and another fan in a bedroom. Both operated the same way. I turned one light on, and the fan in another room would also turn on. Likewise with the fan and fan speeds. If two fans were in the same room, this could be good, and it sounds as if this is what you hope for, but wasn't what I wanted. The dip switches are too hard to get to to throw them to operate the fans independently with one remote. Btw, I changed one dip switch setting and my problem was fixed. You also may have two remotes in different areas of a room such as by two entryways, and both operate both fans.

The light and fan is wired for two independent switches, but can be wired for one switch. We already had a triple switch box in the room for the fan, ceiling light and over the sink light. I have to say it's a little louder than expected but it is in a very small powder room area which I did not take into consideration when purchasing. I was more interested in appearances.

Yes, I have the same situation. You can leave the switch on the light on and control it from inside, or you leave the inside switch on and control it at the light. It WON'T work like a 3-way.

If you want to control the fan and light separately then you will need a switch for each. If the night light is to be constantly on, then you will need a separate non-switched power source for that light. If you want to control the night light also you will need a third switch. In my installation I had one switch and no non-switched power since I was replacing a simple fan and I did not want to rewire the bathroom. The light and fan come on together when the switch is turned on. I didn't use the night light since I had no always-on source of power. For each thing (fan, light, night light) that you wish to turn on and off separately you will need a switch.

It sounds like you are saying that you have Light A in the Dining room and Light B in the Bathroom and you want to use these switches to replace them. If that is the case, NO, this is NOT the product for you. Get the regular GE Switch. The reason these will not work is because the Auxiliary Switch in this kit is not an actual electrical switch. It merely sends a signal through a wire (the traveler wire) to the Master Switch to turn on the light. This kit is only meant for situations where you have 1 light (or set of lights....my old house had 3 florescent lights in the kitchen, but they are really just counted as one light or "load") and 2 switches.......usually one at one end of the room and the other at the other end of the room. That's the only thing you can use this kit for. If you are trying to combine Light A and Light B onto the same circuit, then you will need to rewire them to become one load. In other words, they will become "one light" as far as the wiring goes. I'm really not sure which type of situation you are asking about. If you are trying to combine 2 lights in the same room to work from 2 different switch locations, then you would need to have a traveler wire put in to each box and then you could use this....but it would probably be something that you would need an electrician to come in and rewire before you could use them. Hope this helps! :-)

My fan only has one light ... the up light button and the down light button do the same thing (turns on, turns off and hold to dim)
