I don't think so. I have two of these fans and I dimmed one of them with lower watt bulbs.

You can install a dimmer but this motion light is not designed to run that way the light will hum really bad and motion sensor does not work well when dimmed.

No. The dimmer switch would need to be on a seperate circuit with the lights, different than the fan motor.

Why would you want to do that? We have bought several of he fans and the output is great for removing heat from electronic units. If you connect a dimmer to what ever you are using you are creating a nightmare for yourself. If you need a slower speed, why not buy the slower speed and eliminate the need for the dimmer? If this does not help you; I would suggest asking the SELLER your question. A dimmer should not hurt the motor but may hurt whatever you are attempting to cool. Good Luck and GOD Bless you and yours,Chuck

Yes, but I don't have a dimming ceiling fan so I'm not sure on the answer if u have one of those.

Both of my fans have lights that don't dim. That feature is available on the remote but I don't use it. It has one button at the top for dimming. I would assume the longer you hold it the more it would dim or brighten. Sorry I can't help more.

Your should be able to as long as the fan's wattage doesn't exceed that of the dimming controller...

Don't believe you can. The inner wiring is for two independent fixtures or a fan/light combo. The fan side has set stops in the slider for variable speeds. The other side is traditional slider to dim the light. The respective switch for each turns it off and on.

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

No. There is a box that gets hardwired between the fan and power source in the bracket that is the receiver for the remote control. A dimmer switch would only ruin that receiver.

Yes, the light has varied settings from high to low, which mimic a dimmer switch. The fan is great and I have had lots of compliments on it.

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.

You do not want to use the dimmer type. The switch that does not have the dimmer should work fine.

Yes it can be connected to a dimmer. However make sure you get bulbs that are compatible for dimming. Some of the low energy bulbs will not work. Check the bulb packaging.

You won't need a dimmer switch because it can't be dimmer than it already is. I bought two of these and put them inside my shop, at night you can't tell they are on

I am sure, its not possible to install a dimmer, it uses a fluorescent circular bulb, it won't dim.

Hi SH, I just installed the fan this weekend. I ended up replacing my original dimmer switch with a Lutron Fan/Light dimmer combined switch. It is a little pricey but works wonderful and gives much more control over the fan and lighting then the remote. I highly recommend it. Although the switch does not mention compatibility with LEDs, it does in fact work flawlessly with the LED in the fan. Lutron MA-LFQHW-WH Maestro Fan Control and Dimmer Kit, White
