Can you remove the light and just have the fan? I have a very low ceiling.

Yes....the light kit is added to the fan at the end, but you can use a matching cap in lieu of the kit....there is a mention of it in the instructions that come with the fan....

I don't have a light with mine. (My preference), but I love this fan. It is so quiet.

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.

When you pull down the cover to the fan and the light, there are metal springs on the sides that you need to squeeze together which will allow you to get the cover off the fan "box". That will allow you to get the fan cover down to an angle where you can use a screwdriver to remove the cover to the light. I hope that makes sense.

Hi, yes we have plenty of light we just feel it does not do the trick with regard to the fan. We have a light in the shower that we never need to use.

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!

I'm sorry but it has been so long since we installed it we can not remember if installation without the light is possible. Sorry we couldn't be of assistance.

I don't think that you can. I think that you could use this fan with or without the light kit. Maybe you could find someone that didn't use their kit and buy it from them. I don't like the tulip lights and tried for weeks to find another kit for this fan, but when I finally contacted Hunter, they said that there was no other kit for this fan available. Once I got this fan hung, I was going to try to find some other light kit that would work by going to the stores to try to match it up to something. I was looking for a "flattened dish" style light. I am at work right now and will look at the instructions/parts list (if it has one) when I get home. I can try to answer this question again if they will let me. I don't think that you can.

The light kit must be connected in order for the fan to operate. It is not a typical fan that has the endcap (cover) that would be removed to install an "optional" light kit

I'm not sure what you are after--- a track light ON the fan? or separate on the ceiling. If the latter, probably, if you want to deal with the complexity of the wires (Minka supplies plenty of spare wire you cut to size). But if on the fan itself, I'm not sure I see the purpose: it's an expensive fan and well designed, so why bother to monkey around if you are getting something of such quality that has a light designed for it?

I don't think so. The light that is controlled by the switch is the light associated with a fan and wired into that and not separate light

Hmmm...I answered this question several months ago, but I don't see it listed, so we'll try this again. Yes the fan can be installed without installing the light. Just need to cap off the wires that would normally go to the light. A great many fans can be installed this way now.

Not sure I understand. You want to replace the light that comes with the ceiling fan? But it's integrated with the fan. You can cap it and have no light if you wish. It does come with that part.

There is one light on top of the fan that you can see faintly on the ceiling of the room when lights are off. It is not very distracting at night, but it can easily be fixed with a small piece of tape if you prefer complete darkness.

Yes, that is what I did and it works fine. I have the light on a dimmer switch and the fan is on a separate switch. If I want to change the fan speed I can use the switch on the fan, but so far have not needed it. I love this fan, really moves the air in my sewing room.

I think so if you ceiling mount it (I don't remember if this is an option). I really like this fan/light combo, very attractive for a $100 fan.

Yes you can. It is double-wired with one switch for the light and one for the fan. I don't know if a cap comes with it if you didn't want the light, though. Hope this helps! The light that it come with is an LED so it doesn't use much power at all...
