I have two fan/lights on one circuit with one switch. can I put in a double box and two of these switches and opperate this fan/lights separately?

Short answer is yes, but if the power slide switch is turned off on the unit that supplies power to the fan then neither fan will operate. With the pwr slide switch on both should operate independently if the dip switches are set different for each fan and control.

I don't think so. The light that is controlled by the switch is the light associated with a fan and wired into that and not separate light

The fan and the light can be controlled separately. They can be either both on, both off, or one or the other on. I have the light wired into the room light switch, whereas the fan is controlled by a pull-chain switch. These fans are very versatile for different wiring arrangements, either by a competent do-it-yourselfer or an electrician.

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 a single pole switch will work.The wall switch will send the power to the the light and fan, the pull chains will turn the light and fan on as well as control the fan speed.If you choose to set the pull chains to the on positions, then you can turn the light and fan on and off using the wall switch.With you use this switch you will need 14/3 wire to control the fan and light separately .

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.

No, it can be wired to one switch, but that means the fan will be on whenever the light is. I wired mine with a single switch that EFI makes that has a timer that keeps the fan running after the switch is turned off. The timer is adjustable.

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.

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

Yes. This will give you ONE switch that will turn on the fan and the light at the same time. When you turn off the light, the fan will continue to run for a set period of time. You can adjust the length of time the fan runs after the light is turned off.

I have one connected to a standard switch and another one is hooked up to a switch with 3 switches; one for each part the fan, the light and the night light. But the second switch needed upgraded wiring.

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.

If you're asking can I wire in lighting on the same circuit, the answer is yes. If you're asking if you can put lights on the fan, I'd say no.I wired in two can lights on the same source, but have it on a separate switch from the fan, both dim-able. If you are using dim-able switches you should not wire in lights on the same dimmer switch - that would be a safety risk.

No. These are single pole devices. They will only work at 1 switch location each per fan / light.

It is designed with a full range dimmer on one swith for lights and a 3 way dimmer on the other for a fan so I don't believe it would function the way you would want it to for 2 lights.

Yes, we have three switches. One for the regular light. One for the fan. One switch is the timer switch for the heat. Hope this answer helps.

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.
