Is it possible to have light and fan on different switches?

I would assume so but i'm sure you'd need an electrician to come out and switch some wiring.

It has a "night light" feature that is on a different switch but for the main light, no it is tied to the use of the fan and there is no separate set of wires to break that function out from what I recall of the installation.

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.

Yes. There are separate buttons for light and fan speed on/off button. The key is the installation.

No. The switch for a 3-way is different. The wiring, fan or not, is also. I do not know if a 3-way version of the in box fan control exists. You could just use a regular 3-way switch set-up treating the fan as though it were just a light bulb. You can then use the battery powered remote that comes with the fan to control the fan and it's light. You could also acquire a second battery remote so a remote could be next to both switches. I suggest you contact an electrician if you need more information.

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.

Yes. There is a switch for the light, and a separate switch for the fan so that they work independently. So you could have the light on without the fan, or the fan on without the light, or have them both on at the same time.

No, it is for a fan and one light. There is another different switch for two lights of 300W maximum each.

Yes, I have the fan and light connected to a switch in my kitchen and you can still control the light from the switch on the fan. It works really good.

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.

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

No, I have light on separate switch. I have fan and heater on same switch. Works great.

Yes, I have mine wired for one light switch. The fan is controlled by the remote.

Yes. In fact, I've already done this. I have two large ceiling fans in a single room, each equipped with a fan/light control. This allows me to operate each fan/light independently of the other.

Yes, you can just join the light and the fan wires together in the junction box on the unit to control both from one switch.

I am not an electrician, so take that into account. To be separate, I believe you need to have an existing light/fan switch and wires installed in your bathroom. Otherwise, you'll need to handy electrical wiring to install a new dual switch with one for your light and one for the fan. I simply replaced an existing fan which had it's own switch. All the best.

It is best to have unswitched power to the fan unit, a two function switch would work well with the lights.

Yes, there is no reason you cannot do this. You could wire it so both lights and the fan come on simultaneously if you wanted... but obviously not recommended since you only need the fan when the shower is running.
