Are the light and the fan able to be tied to separate switches? Or does the unit power on (light and fan) together only by a single switch?

There are three separate wires that could each go to an individual switch. One wire for the night light. One wire for the fan and one wire for the light. All three could be separated or they could be ganged together if desired.

The night light needs a 3-position switch. The fan and light are tied to one circuit.

The light and fan are on separate switches. You'll need a 3rd switch if you want to use the separate night light (optional). It's a great fan, by the way.

Yes, you can operate the fan and the light with wall switches. The Owners Manual provides installation instructions for both single and dual switches.

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!

No, it is all one unit and has to be installed as such. I had an electrician install for me and he was surprised you couldn't remove the light

We only have a single switch so we use the on/off switch for the light and pull the chain if we want the fan on. But I wouldn't recommend buying this fan--the fan has issues of not working correctly.

Yes. It can be, if you wire it that way. There are 3 individual feed wires, for, (1)the fan, (2)the main light and (3)the night light, so that you could connect the fan and the main light to one switch, and the night light to a second switch. The combined current(amps) of the fan and the main light is very low, and is well within the capability of a standard light switch.

If you want to control the fan and light separately then you will need a switch for each. If the night light is to be constantly on, then you will need a separate non-switched power source for that light. If you want to control the night light also you will need a third switch.In my installation I had one switch and no non-switched power since I was replacing a simple fan and I did not want to rewire the bathroom. The light and fan come on together when the switch is turned on. I didn't use the night light since I had no always-on source of power. For each thing (fan, light, night light) that you wish to turn on and off separately you will need a switch. If you want to control the fan and light separately then you will need a switch for each.

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.

Heat bulb and fan have separate wires so they can be connected to separate switches---just connect only the one you want to use--

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

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.

Three switches. One for fan one for big bulb - regular light. One for 4w night light. They all are separate. Works great. Which switch works what depends on how the electrician hooks it up.

I would not consider easy but possible. I had a three way switch without separate fan switch. When I installed the Panasonic unit I installed switch for light, fan, and nightlight. You are ahead of the game with fan switch so not too bad. Definitely took some time sketching wiring diagram. This unit is very flexible and will work for this purpose.

Yes a single pole switch will work.The wall switch will send the power to the the light and fan, the pull chains will turn the light and fan on as well as control the fan speed.If you choose to set the pull chains to the on positions, then you can turn the light and fan on and off using the wall switch.With you use this switch you will need 14/3 wire to control the fan and light separately .

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

The light and fan is wired for two independent switches, but can be wired for one switch. We already had a triple switch box in the room for the fan, ceiling light and over the sink light. I have to say it's a little louder than expected but it is in a very small powder room area which I did not take into consideration when purchasing. I was more interested in appearances.

Yes, I have mine wired for one light switch. The fan is controlled by the remote.
