Can two dimmer switches be used with this fan... one each for the fan and light?

Yes. I use mine just like that. Just keep the fan on the highest setting or you can ruin the motor.

Yes, I installed my fan that way. It mainly depends on how your house us wired. Many new construction houses have the wiring setup for ceiling fans where one switch operates the light, the other operates the fans. Older houses may require more work.

Two things to know:If you have a wall switch fan and dimmer, I believe you can still use it. The remote operates from a completely separate box that must be installed into the fan/light fixture itself and the remote only reads that box. So, it stands to reason both will work for you.

We have two of these fans and both were wired to turn the light on separately. Both are on dimmer switches to adjust light intensity and speed of the fans separately. We are very happy with them.

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&utm_term=&kwid=productads-plaid^83005992873-sku^R032740-adType^PLA-device^c-adid^42350083071

I purchased for the same reason, but I was under the assumption that both switches were dimmer switches -- they're not! One is a dimmer switch and one is a 3-stage switch meant for a ceiling fan. I ended up not installing it, as I needed side-by-side dimmer switches that would work with low-voltage LED bulbs.

It does not, however I have a dual switch, one for light (dimmer) and one for fan speed. Great fan, highly recommend.

If you use an incandescent bulb, I don't see why you couldn't use a dimmer switch. I don't know how a CFL or LED bulb would work with a dimmer. We really have enjoyed our light. Very pleased with it.

It should, however, I wonder if what you are trying to say is that if the same switch turn the fan and the light at the same time, or if you have two switches one for the light and the other for the fan? Mine, I have it installed with one switch and turns both the light and the fan, however since I also have recessed lights in this room, I have decided to leave the lights of the fan off and only use the fan. Hope this helps you.

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.

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.

Yes, just don't add a wall switch when wiring it to the fan and use Z-Wave to switch on and off. Be sure not to use the triac dimmer model on an inductive load or a newer model with an current limiter on the light fixture portion.

Yes, it is possible to have a switch for the light and another switch for the fan.

You need a separate switch. Fan has a small junction box with knockouts for wiring connection.

No - You should not use this to control two lights. Using a Fan Control to dim lights will quickly "burn" up the controls inside the device and it won't dim correctly anymore.

Any regular single pole switch will work or a single pole duplex/double switch will work as well. ( sometime they call it 2 way switch ) One switch for the light and the other for the fan. Good luck.

I believe that you will need two wall switches --- one for turning the fan on/off and one for turning the light on/off.
