can it be used with an existing ceiling fan/light fixture by removing existing bulb? Does it or not come with cord? conflicting reviews!

It doesn't come with a cord. You need to purchase that separately. It can not be used with a fixture because all the puzzle pieces go together to keep it together. The cord is fairly cheap and can be found on Amazon. You just provide the light bulb.

It does not come with a cord, but there are different kinds you can buy inexpensively for them. As for using it with an existing fixture or fan, I am not sure it would work or not - It must have something with a lip of some sort for the shade to hang from without touching the bulb. I hope that makes sense. Take a look at the cord w/sockets and see how they work

If you can affix this product under a ceiling fan by purchasing additional items for that purpose then yes; however this is only a plastic puzzle which you can use a low voltage light. I found no conflicting information concerning this product; it does not come with any electrical cords. Going to the product website is also very helpful. I had a great time assembling this puzzle.

i used mine with a lamp by removing one of the pattern pieces and affixing to the lamp with tape to balance it. I would imagine you could do this with a ceiling fan and still use the bulb. It does not come with a cord. It is just the puzzle pieces and fairly useless instructions. If you are good at puzzles it is fairly instinctive how to put it together from looking at the pictures though.

... it doesn't come with any plug or hangar - I used it to replace an existing hanging lamp so was able to use the cord/chain/hangar from that one - I guess they expect this lamp to be installed by a "qualified electrician" - hard-wired - I'm not one, but it was fairly simple to do myself.

There is no off switch, so you will have to unplug it when you're not using it to keep from wearing out the fan. That seems to be the way most lighting fixtures are, so since I have several different lights that I use I just plug them all into a power strip to make it easy to cut the power off to all of them with one button. I found a power strip/surge protector at lowe's for about $7 with a remote so you can cut the power from the other side of the room without having to mess with cords or anything.

The fan does not include a cord. It has a standard connection box. Mine is wired with 14 AWG in flex from the fan to a wall mounted box.

No bulb is included. Just the fixture, socket and the cord with an on/off switch.

I'm not sure I understand your question. This is a light fixture designed to be wired permanently into a regular circuit, as mine is. There is no power cord with the fixture.

im not an electrician but yes the light works without using the fan. but i have two different wall switches . one for each. its a stunnning fixture

Yes, as I said in my review, I have both the fan and the light wired to separate wall switches. Actually the fan is wired to a 3-speed selector knob, but you could use a slider switch as well.The light fixture says 40 watt max, so 60 watt bulbs probably wouldn't be a good idea. However, you can purchase CFL bulbs which are 60 watt equivalent but only use <20 watts.

I'm not sure if it can be directly connected to a dimmer on an existing light switch. How can you manage the fan control? I purchased a Hunter remote control that manages the fan control as well as the light and it acts as a dimmer too.

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

No. There is a cord that connects to the base of the lamp. No cords are visible running up into the light fixtures however. I filled mine up with 4 Philips Hue bulbs that I can control with an app on my cell phone and this is absolutely the perfect lamp for such bulbs.

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?

Hi! No a light fixture can't be added. We almost didn't buy the fan because of that but we had other light sources in the room. We love it and are very happy with how it works. Hope that helps! Good luck!

I'm unsure, the light comes attached to the fan. So, I'm guessing there would be a way to remove the light fixture, but unsure if there would be a cover to replace were the fixture was! I really do like the fan!

It comes with a power cord so it can be plugged in to an outlet. Or you can cut the wires and install it on an existing fixture or (as I did) you can create a new fixture. If your going to create a new fixture be careful how large you make the two holes in the ceiling because this light's covers are smaller than usual. Lastly, I'll say I am very pleased with it.

No I wouldn't recommend that at all unless you can figure out a mounting method. The stand is really my only complaint - it's really cheap. I also bought a set of bulbs that do the same thing and put them in my ceiling fan. That worked awesome! Might be a solution to your needs. Light is good, stand sucks! :)

It does have a pull cord for the light and a pull cord for the fan. If you can't reach your fan you would need to buy the pull-chain extension. I have cathedral ceilings and I will need to buy the extension chains.
