One more question: I want to install this fan in an existing "can" for a recessed light. Has anyone done that? Did it work well?

Hi Ida F. Yes it is possible to install in existing "can" for recessed light. Your electrician will need to install the proper box and hardware to support the fan and you shouldn't have any problems. Should you have any further questions, please feel free to ask.

I would say no. The light is controlled by the switch, a timer contained with the switch keeps the fan running for the number of minutes you set. For what you want to do I would suggest an electrician. I have never encountered a switch that does what you want. Best to consult a professional if only for safety.

I'm sorry, but I have the fan with the light. Works great and the fan is whisper quiet. My electrician said I purchased a great one.

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.

I looked on line and it looks like a standard 6" recessed can, so it should be easy. Screw the pigtail into the light socket, connect the pigtail to the light, then clip the wires on the light into the hooks inside the recessed can & push flush with ceiling.

I replaced a flush mount ceiling fan with light with this ductless fan. I already had the hole in the ceiling, but I had to make it larger to accomedate the fan. Unfortunately I have an old home with lath and plaster. It was a pain and messy, but eventually I got a good fit. The fan looks good and works great. If you just have a sheetrock ceiling it should be a breeze. I hope this helped.

Not a problem, like all of these fans this one is heavy so the only install issue is getting it on the hook so you can do the wires. Any medium strength guy should be able to do it.

I believe you will need to purchase a light kit separately. Which should be available and mountable after removing the disk on the bottom center of the fan.

Our 12W 4" Recessed Lighting fixture is not compatible with any housing, it is made to be installed directly to the dry wall. However, if you are looking for a recessed light that needs to be used with the cans, please refer to ASIN: B00JUO51QU

Fan can be used without light kit. It would not look finished though. If you dont want the light, only the fan, I would second what Bruce B. said... Look for a different model and save some money.

I rewired mine and have a separate switch for the fan and the lights. I often use the fan alone. But I always use the fan when using the lamps to prevent excessive heat buildup.

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.

I did combine the fan, light (with nightlight) and heater using one switch and it works great. The electrician had a bit of trouble figuring out the schematics but was able to get it hooked up and working fine. None-the-less, I'd recommend it.

You can install in a recessed area as long as there is enough clearance top bottom and each side as per the install specs, otherwise you need to install the indoor model and put a vent on it... hope this helps

Well, Mary, it is outside in our patio, its' not real bright, I guess you can try a higher wattage. I didn't buy this for the lighting per say, but I thought that I would install the fixture regardless. Also, this fan is pretty high up, but its' adequate. Hope this helps.

i see no problem mounting this horizionaly. however i have not done so myself. i might add that this is a good, quite running fan. look st the pin conectors as mine were loose. just taks a little effort in pushing the male pins into the female connector.

Hello. While I can't promise favorable results, I did order this based on the model number although my existing fan/light was a number of years old, and in my case was able to have it installed in the existing space without incident. Best of luck.
