Does the light and fan turn on/off at the same time using the same switch or they operate separately using two switches? or I can choose either?

Ours is wired to one switch but we consciously made the decision to do it that way. You can wire it to two.

Ours is wired to use two switches. Not an electrician, but I would imagine you could wire them both to one switch if desired.

N.E.C. requires that they turn on together. You can wire them separately if you choose to do so. Excellent fan, quite and looks good.

Mine is on one switch. However go to the manufacturer website and you can call them and their technicians will help you. I called them when i was unsure of which fan to purchase for my bathroom. They were great.

The fan/light is wired so that they can be seperately controled. I got a switch that controls the light and the duration that the fan stays on. The fan is so quiet I reccomend you get this type of switch as it would be easy to leave the fan running all the time because you can barely hear it.

There is no off switch, so you will have to unplug it when you're not using it to keep from wearing out the fan. That seems to be the way most lighting fixtures are, so since I have several different lights that I use I just plug them all into a power strip to make it easy to cut the power off to all of them with one button. I found a power strip/surge protector at lowe's for about $7 with a remote so you can cut the power from the other side of the room without having to mess with cords or anything.

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.

We have two of these fans and both were wired to turn the light on separately. Both are on dimmer switches to adjust light intensity and speed of the fans separately. We are very happy with them.

We have one wall switch and we operate the fan and light with the remote control. Remote allows you to operate them separately.

Yes. You can wire this so that the fan and the light are operated by separate switches.

As the owner of two Panasonic FV-11VQCL6 units, I love them. They were installed in two different bathrooms. In one bathroom the light and the fan are on two separate switches which I would recommend. In the second bathroom, we needed one switch to operate the light over the sink, so the contractor put the fan/light unit on one switch. This means that the fan cannot run without the light staying on. Then, too, when you turn the switch off, you no longer have the fan to run and ventilate the bathroom when you leave. I much prefer to put the light on one switch and the fan on another.

the wall switch sends power to the fan, but you need to use the fan's remote to turn on the light. You can leave the light on, and then both the fan and light will activate via the wall switch.

The fan and lights are on different circuits. The lights are not automatic, and will require switches.The fan is automatic. I used a two pole motion sensing switch that turns the night light on when some enters the room, and the regular light has to be manually activated. Both lights turn off when the room is vacant for ten minutes . You could use a similar setup, and add the fan.

Yes it has directions to do both. If you already have the wiring and switches to operate fan and light separately then it is easy, if not you may have to get a professional.

Yes, I've set mine up with a time control separately on each the fan and heater then a switch to turn on the light. Both the fan/heat are very quiet but powerful!

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.

No, you can turn the light on & off separates from the function of turning the fan in any speed.

It can be turned on independently. We have a double switch with one controlling the light and one controlling the fan

There are 3 switches. One for the fan, one the night light and one the light

Yes, it is possible to have a switch for the light and another switch for the fan.

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)
