does the fan turn on at the same time as the light , can you use only the light and do you need a double light switch box already installed in your w

The fan and light come on at the same time. The instructions for the wiring were a little difficult to follow, but we did figure it out.

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. My brother just installed this fan for me. I am able to turn the fan on and off, as well as choose the speed and whether I want the fan to go in reverse all via the remote. And you can use the remote to turn on/off the light. Hope this info helps.

I did not have to install the provided wall switch. You can just install and use the existing on/off switch for the fan/light you have now, but you won't be able to dim/change speed etc. It will just be stuck on what ever it is at when you install. I purchased the remote separately and it works right out of the box with the fans, so you can just use your existing switch, buy the remote and then you can change all the functions.

This fan does not come with a switch. If you have a 3 conductor romex cable run to the fan, then you can have separate switches for fan and light.

On mine I have both a chain switch for the fan and a chain switch for the light.

No. You have to have 2 switches. Use the dimmer control for the ceiling fan and this for the light. You cannot put both the ceiling fan and light on the same switch. Too much amperage / wattage. I use this or the ge dimmer for the light and then the Leviton VRF01-1LZ Vizia RF for the ceiling fan.

This is intended to be wired directly to the fan motor wire, with the light on a separate switch. Unfortunately it is not an all-in-one solution for both light and fan.

Yes, you can operate the fan and the light with wall switches. The Owners Manual provides installation instructions for both single and dual switches.

Yes, I have the fan and light connected to a switch in my kitchen and you can still control the light from the switch on the fan. It works really good.

You need a separate switch. Fan has a small junction box with knockouts for wiring connection.

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.

Yes a single pole switch will work.The wall switch will send the power to the the light and fan, the pull chains will turn the light and fan on as well as control the fan speed.If you choose to set the pull chains to the on positions, then you can turn the light and fan on and off using the wall switch.With you use this switch you will need 14/3 wire to control the fan and light separately .

If you're asking can I wire in lighting on the same circuit, the answer is yes. If you're asking if you can put lights on the fan, I'd say no.I wired in two can lights on the same source, but have it on a separate switch from the fan, both dim-able. If you are using dim-able switches you should not wire in lights on the same dimmer switch - that would be a safety risk.

You can connect both fan and light to the fan wire but you are better off using a single function delay off switch. A single function switch will probably have a higher power rating.

The light and fan are on separate switches. You'll need a 3rd switch if you want to use the separate night light (optional). It's a great fan, by the way.

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!

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.
