I currently have a room that has a ceiling fan with a light and a regular off/on light switch. If possilbe I would like to simply change the switch to a dimmer switch w/o having to change the ceiling fan.|||The dimmer won%26#039;t work with the fan.|||If it is controlled by one switch then the answer is no.
You do not want to use a light dimmer to vary speed of the fan and also dim the light bulb.|||Not a problem unless the switch also turns on the fan, if its just the light it controls go for it.|||no
do not do it
i put a fan where a light was sappose to go within a week the fan burned out because of an accident
it easier to get a remote with a light dimmer in it
wire the reciever at the top the hard part is gettin the cap around the box but other then that its easy my 12 year old son did all my fans with remotes|||Yes, it just means you need to buy a dimmer switch. It hooks up like any other switch.|||It%26#039;s easy to change the light switch, but with a fan on the circuit you may burn out the motor if it does not get full power. Usually on fans with lights they have 2 or three light settings built in. If this is not the case, I would put in smaller wattage bulbs to change the amount of light. Not a dimmer switch|||Does the switch also run the fan, or just the light? If the switch is just for the light and assuming the fixture uses dimmable bulbs like incandescent or halogen, you can just swap out the switch with a dimmer. Buy a dimmer rated at the total watts of the lamps.
