Will this work with 2 wall switches one for the light and one for the fan?

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.

Yes, the motor and light can be wired separately using two separate wall switches.

Yes my house has 2 switches prewired by builder for fun but only a ceiling light installed. Installed Hunter fan and one switch turns on light 2nd turns on fan.

Absolutely - there are 2 hot wires - one for the fan and one for the light. So, if you have the wiring/switches in place it will work perfectly.

Yes. The one I have has a switch & plate that I ordered seperately. It controls the fan, the light & a night light. So that has to be installed separately to run the fan & adjuncts.

It is best to have unswitched power to the fan unit, a two function switch would work well with the lights.

I installed this in a double electrical box that had one switch for a light and one for a fan. I installed it using the fan switch wiring only and kept the light switch the same using the original double switch plate to cover both. Long way of saying Yes.

If your ceiling fan operates off of a light switch, then it should work perfectly.

No you don't The wiring for your light will work just fine. The only thing is both fan and light come on at the same time but that is what we wanted.

Hi. My husband installed this, and we have it on two switches - one for the fan and one for the light. He could have put in three switches with one for the night light but we thought that was overkill :) So I am pretty sure you can wire all 3 things to one switch or do them individually, etc. So yes the fan light can be on its own switch or share. Hope that helps.

Yea one is for the light but I wired it so the light is through the switch and the fan is off The chain only

I purchased the W84 but found out it was my fan assembly, not the switch. My electrician said they will both work.

I am still able to use the light switch. I think it should still work for any type of fan.

It depends. It's a 3way switch. If the fan has light heat nightlight and fan then no. After I picked the fan I wanted I called customer service and asked them for the model number of a compatible switch. If you're adventurous you can figure it out with info on the website. The cuts svc peeps were very helpful.

That should work fine unless it's a three way switch. Is that the only switch that controls the fan? If not, you must pick one switch to replace and bypass the other switch.

It is designed with a full range dimmer on one swith for lights and a 3 way dimmer on the other for a fan so I don't believe it would function the way you would want it to for 2 lights.

I'm not an electrician but it works fine with my porch light. I would think that if your exaughst fan runs with a switch that it could. I did have to email the company that I bought mine from as the first one they sent was faulty but they sent a new one right away and didn't even request for the faulty one to be sent back. Hope this helps.

If you only have one switch leg going from the switch to the fan, you probably don't want to use this switch. If you have two switch legs, it will work.

I don't believe so. You would have to consult with an electrician to be sure. A better solution might be a Leviton Decora 5679 unit that has two stacked switches that fit into one regular Decora slot. That is the way I solved it for my unit. Amazon sells these.

Yes, I think it will. Our home has a double wall switch & the fan works great. We have one switch for the fan and on the other switch we put a dimmer for the light.
