Can you use the remote or the wall switch to turn on and off the light or is it just the remote. The current control I have you have to leave the wal

Yes. You have to leave the wall switch on for the remote to work. The wall switch is independent of the remote. You can turn everything on and off with the wall switch. The remote only works when the wall switch is on.

You can leave the wall switch in and use this switch; but the wall switch must be left in the "on" position all the time.

It can be controlled without a "wall switch", but you need an insteon compatible controller. I have many of these in my home and none have wall switches. I use insteon motion detectors and an ISY944i that tells them what to do. ie: dimming the bathroom at night

This fan can only be operated from a wall switch if the cord for either or both the light and fan are pulled at the base first. You can purchase a sold seperately remote control that will control the switches. This is the remote...Westinghouse 7787000 Ceiling Fan and Light Remote Control. Im unsure if you can use a 60 watt candelabra bulb but i dont see why not since it already uses 40 watts, just be prepared for a light that might hotter over head.

you have to have the wall switch on for the lights and fan to work. Use remote to turn off and on or the wall switch to turn off. Love my fan.

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.

It does not work with a wall switch. After being turned off by switch, you will have to restart with the remote.

Your light switch still has to be on the "on" position for the remote to be able to control the fan. So if you were to leave the switch on permanently, then it does become obsolete to some degree.

No the wall switch will only allow the fan to turn on or off. For all speed adjustments and for the light, it only works off the included remote control. We were told that the remote wall switch sold my Minka would control all functions but Mink doesn't make a wall controller for this fan. Great fan though. Super quiet.

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!

Fan and light controls mounted in wall only, no remote was offered. You can probably add a remote by installing a receiver in the fan housing. Existing light circuit handled both new fan and light because the amperage is low enough.

This fan comes with a remote that has a wall mountable bracket. You can use it as a wall switch or remove it and use it remotely in the room. The remote controls light brightness levels as well as fan speed and on/off control. I just leave the builder installed wall switch in the "on" position and control it wth the remote.

You can do both. The remote only have a 2ft Max range. The actual light on the front panel of the unit is the switch u press. Hope this helps.

This item is hard-wired into the wall. There is a separate remote that came with my fan, that can fully operate the fan without the wall switch, however in my situation, having both options is very nice. In my case, the wiring did need to go from the Fan to the Switch for both to work.

The light and fan have pull-chain switches. The light switch is off/on. The fan switch is off-high-med-low-off You could also install a wireless remote control. It will allow you to control the fan speed and the light (with or without a wall switch). The wireless remote kits are $18 at Walmart.

No, when you get it you plug it into the thing and turn it on. Then you control it only from the remote. I love it. I don't have to get up to turn off the light on my dresser. Enjoy

Ours has a remote, but we also have an on/off switch on the wall. The wall switch does not control any of the fan functions other than on and off.
