Do you need 2 switches to operate the fan and light, or will one wall switch suffice?

We used the switch for our porch light and we just keep it on the ON position then we mounted the remote next to it and turn the light/fan off and on with the remote. I hope this helps.

the wall switch sends power to the fan, but you need to use the fan's remote to turn on the light. You can leave the light on, and then both the fan and light will activate via the wall switch.

We have one wall switch and we operate the fan and light with the remote control. Remote allows you to operate them separately.

You can have one switch to let fan and light turn on at the same time, or you can separate fan and light into two switches too. We did it the first way just so whoever use the bathroom will not forget to turn on the fan while showering which create steam.

The fan offers a few ways to wire the light and fan. You can wire so that the wall switch turns on the fan AND light, then you use the two chains to select the light, the fan, or both. Another way to wire is use the wall switch to turn light on and off, then use the chain to turn on the fan when you need it. I only had one switch so I chose to wire the first way. Wiring instructions for the options I mentioned are included in the documentation.

No u need to use the remote to control the light and fan speed. It is the most easy way to install it. If u have two switches on the wall u don't need the remote. But most homes don't have that..

Yes separate switches. Fan is not worth it if it's over 80 degrees out. Buy an a.c. unit instead.

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.

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

If your power source is connected to only one switch the fixture must be wired so the fan and light are wired togther. Fan and light will power on/off togther.

This fan does not come with a switch. If you have a 3 conductor romex cable run to the fan, then you can have separate switches for fan and light.

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

I guess you could remove it, but then, you would only have the wall switch to turn on both fan and light. I assume that you might want the light at times when you didn't want the fan. And, what about the pull for turning on/off the fan - that hangs down also.

This item is hard-wired into the wall. There is a separate remote that came with my fan, that can fully operate the fan without the wall switch, however in my situation, having both options is very nice. In my case, the wiring did need to go from the Fan to the Switch for both to work.

My electrician setup 2 switches - I wish I knew how he did it. One wall switch will force the lamp on or off. The other allows it to stay in "security lamp" mode, so it only lights up when motion triggers the sensor.

I just use the remote even though the room is wired for separate light and fan. The fan itself should be able to handle wall switches, but you may need an electrician if you're not confident wiring yourself. We really like the fan. It runs perfect and is quite, the light is ample. We do have other lights in the room however.

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

If you currently have only one switch both the fan and light will operate when the switch is turned on. If you have two wall switches currently, one that operates a fan and one that operates the light in the fan assembly then you will have the option to have only the light operating without the fan being on. If the second switch currently operates the lights over the sink then you will not have the option of light only in the fan assembly.
