Does this fan have pull chains or is the optional remote control needed to change speeds/turn on light?

Yes, it has two pull chains so you can control both fan and light. No remote control. You can power the fan and the lights separately so you can have separate wall switches.

The fan does not include a remote control. The included pull chain allows for quick and easy on/off and speed adjustments. The fan can be used with an optional remote control/receiver. Consult with Hunter Fans for the remote control options.

Yes, it is not a dimmer, so pull cords on the fan/light would have to be used to control speed and number of bulbs in use at time switch is turned on. Not sure why one would need remote control of fan/light unless this is the only one in the area that needs to look like it is being lived in

Yes, it doesn't have pull chains. I had it hooked up to an existing light switch, but you do need the remote.

Yes it comes with nice chains for both light and fan. I control it by a wall switch with light dimmer and variable fan settings. Great quiet, well made fan - very pleased.

No, the oscillation pull-switch is on the fan itself and is not a feature that can be controlled by the remote.

Not sure about control system except it has one chain for fan and one for light.

The wall switch can still turn the fan / light on and off, however, when using the remote control wall switch becomes a mean of disconnecting the power. For the remote to work properly, Wall switch has to be in on position , pull chain on light kit has to be in on position and pull chain for fan has to be set at the high speed.

My fan is controlled by a wall switch. When we were looking at this model online there did seem to be some that said there was a remote with the unit, but ours did not come with one. It can also be controlled manually by the pullchains. BTW, this fan is awesome.

The fan has one chain for the fan and a separate chain for the light. Each chain pull is marked as to what part is being operated. Also the chains were different lengths

It has three speeds - I'd love to hear others respond about the remote control - I ended up just buying extensions for my pull chains, but a remote is intriguing! Love the fan - quiet. The lights a bit bright - a dimming remote would be my preference.

Yes, ours is controlled by the variable speed switch from our old fan. Threw the remote away. Electrician did the install.

No, the included remote only has options for fan on/off + 3 speeds, and provisions for turning on/off the optional light kit.

Yes, this is a single pole switch. The fan (Marley brand) this switch controls only works off the switch--no pull chain. But, for my other fans (Hunter brand) I set them to the highest speed and use a (Leviton) single pole sliding fan speed switch. I have also found that as time goes on there is some funny bit of play in this rotary control but I have to keep it because it's the only one that works properly with this type of fan.

The fan and the light can be controlled separately. They can be either both on, both off, or one or the other on. I have the light wired into the room light switch, whereas the fan is controlled by a pull-chain switch. These fans are very versatile for different wiring arrangements, either by a competent do-it-yourselfer or an electrician.
