My current dimmer only controls light on my fan. Will it be able to control the fan speed without additional wiring?

Short answers is no. If you don't have a seperate switch in the same location that controls the fan then you'll need an electrician to run an additional wire from rhe fan to the switch box.

You should use a 6 button Dimmer Keypadlinc with the FanLinc. The larger top and bottom buttons should control the light on and off and the other 4 should control fan speeds. You really only need 3 buttons for fan speeds though. Important: the keypad buttons for fan turn on and off each speed one at a time, so to change speeds from one to another, you actually have to turn it off. Let's say your on high speed and want to change to medium, you will press high again which turns the fan off then press medium to set the fan to medium speed. You can buy preprinted buttons specially labeled for ceiling fans. You should use a 6 button Dimmer Keypadlinc with the FanLinc.

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.

yes it can all you have to do is replace your regular switch with a dimmer switch.

I've got it controlling 2 fixtures, each with 2 LED bulbs (small ones, like oversized night light bulbs) and it works perfectly. No dimmer function for any kind of bulb... just on and off.

I don't think so. I have two of these fans and I dimmed one of them with lower watt bulbs.

Why would you want to do that? We have bought several of he fans and the output is great for removing heat from electronic units. If you connect a dimmer to what ever you are using you are creating a nightmare for yourself. If you need a slower speed, why not buy the slower speed and eliminate the need for the dimmer? If this does not help you; I would suggest asking the SELLER your question. A dimmer should not hurt the motor but may hurt whatever you are attempting to cool. Good Luck and GOD Bless you and yours,Chuck

Yes, it will work, controls 3 fan speeds and if a light is on your fan allows you to dim it, but most importantly , since it is about $44.00 and it is made for the fan you have it would make sense to stay with that brand

It will not dim the CFL bulb that comes with the fan however you can replace the bulb. I replaced it with a smaller footprint LED dimming bulb and changed the remote's dipswitch from CFL to INC (incadescent) and the dimmming function works perfectly.

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.

Yes. The slide dimmer switch controls the fan speeds. Yes, the bottom switch controls the light. Correct, there is no dimmer for the light.

No. The dimmer switch would need to be on a seperate circuit with the lights, different than the fan motor.

You can use a dimmer to replace the normal on/off switch to control it. The installation is the same as the normal switch.

I have LED bulbs in the fan now. I do not have them set up on a dimmer but that should not be a problem either.

The fan comes with a remote that has three speeds plus an off. The light only has on/off. I did not try to hard wire a dimmer switch since it came with the remote that provided the same end result.

not as out of the box, you would have to buy a motor control unit, I remember back in my electrical days we would install one for celling fans to control but they can be a little pricey, do not buy a sliding light dimmer switch as these will fail and are made to dim lighting only. hope this helps: http://www.lumens.com/wall-mount-wired-fan-control-wc105-by-minka-aire-fans-R032740.html?utm_medium=PLA&utm;_source=google&u;tm_term=&kwid;=productads-plaid^83005992873-sku^R032740-adType^PLA-device^c-adid^42350083071
