Can you turn the lights on without using the heat?
2086242
Yes, we have three switches. One for the regular light. One for the fan. One switch is the timer switch for the heat. Hope this answer helps.

No, not they way my hubby set it up The lights are the heat bulbs. So they automatically heat up the bathroom. Then the fan can be turned on by itself but if the light bulbs get too warm the fan will kick on automatically, too. The lights are nice and bright. Here in Michigan I get a lot of use out of the heated lights! My husband says he thinks you could hook up one light bulb and one heat light bulb and use them separately. We have a large, cold bathroom so don't have it configured that way. We bought two of these, one for our daughter;s house also. We put a timer switch on both so the heat goes off automatically.

Yes. Using a double switch you can control heat lamps and fan separately. This is a very effective product. Very happy with it.

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.
2086246
No, the bulb is a heat lamp unless you replace it with a normal bulb. They do make a clear heat lamp that is really bright instead of the red one.
2086247
Yes. Initially the old device was a light on one switch and a fan on anothe. rWe wired the bathroom light and fan together on one switch and the heat lamp on the other. Mike 2/7/2013

Only if you buy a different, non-heat-producing bulb. There is another model that lets you adjust the intensity of the light (and heat), but mine is only "on" or "off". I do not know the other model number. Sorry

Perhaps you misunderstand the product? There is no heater; the heater IS the heat-lamps or heat-bulbs, so in that sense no, since the heat and the light are the same thing. As others stated, one could conceivably put one heat-lamp bulb and one white light bulb into the unit and rewire it, but I don't think that's the best option. If I really wanted a separate heater and light unit, perhaps I'd considering buying a different unit other than this Broan (one with a specific heating unit)

Yes. I wired it with three switches; Fan, light and Heat. I have a standard bulb in one socket, a infrared bulb in the other socket and the fan is behind/on top of it all. Works fine.

I don't think so. You might be able to do it by covering the light sensor but the appeal of this product is the on/off capability.

It appears that you can but the reason I bought it was for the vibrations so I don't really use the heat. I tried it to answer you but didn't seem like I got any heat although the light came on without the vibration. I almost seem to get more heat from the vibration. Hope this helps some.

Yes, the flame works without the heat on but the neon lights only work with the flame on which is kind of a defect

Yes. You can turn the motion feature off and use the remote to turn the lights on and off. They will automatically turn off after either 1 or 4 hours.
642882
You sure can! A small button, about 1/8" diameter in the handle reached with your thumb extended forward activates the light on/off. Mine is always off, I never use it.

If you cover the light sensor with duct or electrical tape then yes you could turn it on or off with a switch.

No you cant. It just changes colors. But it's really not that bright if that's what you are worried about. I hardly notice the lights
918564
no you need to turn the switch on if you want see the lights working, but we love it!!!!

It is possible but you would have to make sure your fuses will handle the extra power draw (not quite sure what these draw). But if your just looking for extra bright, it would make more sense to wire them normally to a toggle switch and switch them on in addition to your brights, but you can still turn them on without your brights on.

The lights will turn on and off automatically by themselves. The only way you could turn them off manualy would be to cut the power to them. So you would need them on a switch of some kind. If they were on a switch, to turn them on manually you would need, first of all darkness and to have them turned off -- no power to them. At that point -- darkness and no power -- if you turned the power to them on, the lights should light up. If you did not interrupt the power supply before daylight, they should turn off automatically. I hope I answered your question. There is no off/on switch on the lights themselves -- it is automatic operation.

You are correct. The lights are controlled separately by the bottom buttons so would not need to be used.

Not needed during the day as I have some lighting from outside. If I want it on during the night time I can turn it on.

Yes, you do not have to have the heat on. This is a Wonderful machine and worth every penny!

Without light on or with light completely removed? It works without light on

Yes, you can turn them on an off from an indoor switch if the switch operates that sources. The power switch should be in the on position all the time or else the dusk sensor will not be able to turn the light on. If you want the switch to be in the off position the light will not turn on. The fixture does not need sun to work as it is not solar, but it does need some low level light or the light sensor will continuously turn it on. Really is a great light.

I suppose you could yes, but I would use a continuous light source that gives off little or no heat such as LED lights.
