will the lite operate on the same switch as the fan?

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.

There are 3 switches. One for the fan, one the night light and one the light

Yes. In my installation, when I turn on the fan the light goes on but it is very dim. I have another switch that turns on the light by itself with the full brightness of the bulb itself. When you turn on the fan with the dimmed light, you can flip the other switch to the ON position and you'll have the bright light with the fan on. I guess this is by design so you can save energy when you turn ON the fan during daylight. I hope this helps.

Yes. There is a glass cover for use with a light, and a metal cover if the light is not desired. Keep in mind that the switch that comes with the fan can't be swapped for a switch that is only a fan control because it is actually a remote powered by the electrical connection. That switch has controls for both the light and fan so you'll have light buttons that don't do anything if you don't use the lights. This was an unpleasant surprise for me.

Yes, if they both have the same code set in the fan & remote. Now you may run into a problem where the fans are close enough that the remote will operate both fans at the same time.

yes--it's very easy to operate--the remote works both the fan and the light--two separate buttons.

No you don't The wiring for your light will work just fine. The only thing is both fan and light come on at the same time but that is what we wanted.

There is no separate ON/OFF switch on this fan. The moment the motor receives current the fan operates, so as I understand your question the answer is "yes"--it could certainly be installed this way. However, you may also want to put this question to an electrician, as it has more to do with the wiring than the unit itself.

I don't know. My fan and light like this is controlled by a wall switch and pull cord. I switch it on at the wall, and then control the light and fan speed by the 2 pull cords.

No. These are single pole devices. They will only work at 1 switch location each per fan / light.

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!

Your light switch still has to be on the "on" position for the remote to be able to control the fan. So if you were to leave the switch on permanently, then it does become obsolete to some degree.

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

Not necessarily...but you should. You'll need power to the fan obviously and power to the switch, but you don't need to wire the switch to the fan directly. The switch communicates (light, speed) to the fan wirelessly. The initial setup requires you to sync the switch to the fan which is done at initial power. So if separate circuits they need to come up at the same time.

It depends. It's a 3way switch. If the fan has light heat nightlight and fan then no. After I picked the fan I wanted I called customer service and asked them for the model number of a compatible switch. If you're adventurous you can figure it out with info on the website. The cuts svc peeps were very helpful.

Yes, you can use the two switch system, in fact this is the way I hooked it up, a 5/10/20/30 minute timer (http://tinyurl.com/kjsfa97) on the fan and a regular switch on the light.

I suppose but there are other alternatives for that. This is designed for a fan light combo and has 5 wires to operate both fan and light. If you only need a timer switch any home center or hardware store should have that.

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

Yes. This will give you ONE switch that will turn on the fan and the light at the same time. When you turn off the light, the fan will continue to run for a set period of time. You can adjust the length of time the fan runs after the light is turned off.
