Can the exhaust fan and light be wired to operate separately so I don't need turn on the light in daytime? thanks.

This has no built in light. When I installed it, I did link it to my bathroom light, but that's a switching issue-- not a product issue.

I am not an electrician, so take that into account. To be separate, I believe you need to have an existing light/fan switch and wires installed in your bathroom. Otherwise, you'll need to handy electrical wiring to install a new dual switch with one for your light and one for the fan. I simply replaced an existing fan which had it's own switch. All the best.

Yes. And the fan wiring is independent of the light wiring so they are controlled separately from wall switches.

No, it does not. You have to install a switch (where your light switch is) and you can control the fan and light separately.

There is a separate lead for the light and fan. If you have two switches, you can have the fan and light separate.

I'm not sure but, it possibly could be put on a dimmer switch. I have mine on the timer with my lights so installing a dimmer is a bit of a hassle. I installed the fan at the window (turned it around for exhaust) and ran duct work to it and that quieted it down considerably if that's your problem.

We are building a house and bought this fan to install in the kitchen and we wired for the fan to be turned off and on via a switch on the wall, so I'm thinking you can do this, but you will have to have it wired to do so. Hope this helps!!

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.

For myself, I wired it to have its own switch. But I suppose if you are a savvy enough of an electrician, you can pig tail the connections. The item has instructions for different types of wiring needs, including a situation where you can have separate switches for fan, heat and/or light.

The heater, light and exhaust fan are wired seperately in the unit. The usual approach is to buy a 3-paddle switch at Home Depot and run supply wires separately. You can also put a timer and a thermostat in series. Or, you can do what I did, which is to mount a toggle switch on the side of the housing to allow u to shut off the heater in the summer!

I would say no. The light is controlled by the switch, a timer contained with the switch keeps the fan running for the number of minutes you set. For what you want to do I would suggest an electrician. I have never encountered a switch that does what you want. Best to consult a professional if only for safety.

No, not on the light itself. This only has the sensor that turns it on at dusk and off at first light. You could install a switch in the circut, but it would not turn on during daylite hours, only at night.

No that us the heater exhaust. The night light is just a smaller bulb in the light itself. And no not on all the time you have by a double switch, one for each of the lights. We wired a timer switch to the fan and a rocker for the heater.

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 I was able to do this - it's exactly the way I have it installed. I can't remember how the wiring worked, but I figured it out from the installation manual. BTW, the light is quite bright, and the fan is amazingly quiet.

No. You can purchase a separate sensor that will turn it on and off. I did this with a 10 watt light and it lights one end of my house quite well.

Don't believe you can. The inner wiring is for two independent fixtures or a fan/light combo. The fan side has set stops in the slider for variable speeds. The other side is traditional slider to dim the light. The respective switch for each turns it off and on.

Yes.It has 3 completely separate circuits: One for the light, one for the exhaust fan, and one for the heater and heater fan
