can the fan and the light kit be wired separately to their respective wall switches

As long as you have separate light and fan switches on the wall with corresponding wires at the fan mounting location -- you are good. That means you have a white, black and (usually) a red wire at the fan plus the ground wire.

Ours is installed with separate wall switches. One controls light, one controls fan. I can turn each on independently of the other. Perfect. Worked out great. Don't really use remote or mess with the controls on fan itself.

no unit works together. remote will control light or fan but you can not hook up light to separate switch and the fan to a separate switch on the wall. Hope that helps.

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.

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.

I am not sure but I think you can wire the unit as you may want. I have a separate switch for the night light. and a switch for the main light and the fan. The fan seems to be influenced by motion. I'm not sure if this is how the manufacturer designed it, but it seems to work for me. I bet you can customize it.

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 .

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.

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.

I don't believe the fan came with a light kit. We did not want a light fixture on the fan and told our builder to leave all of the light fixtures off all of the fans. The remote control for the 28488 does have a switch on it for a light fixture ... so I assume you can install a separate at the base of the fan.

No, depending on how you wire it. It has 2 separate circuit for 2 switches that controls either light and fan or heat lamp. Follow the wiring diagram as you needed.

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.

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

Yes, as I said in my review, I have both the fan and the light wired to separate wall switches. Actually the fan is wired to a 3-speed selector knob, but you could use a slider switch as well. The light fixture says 40 watt max, so 60 watt bulbs probably wouldn't be a good idea. However, you can purchase CFL bulbs which are 60 watt equivalent but only use &lt;20 watts.

I'm not sure if each light can be individually wired. They are all in series with one A/C wall plug. It's a good product.

Yes it is wired to add a light kit. If you are looking to control the fan and the light separately from a wall control you may need to check the electric wires to the fan itself in order to get the discrete operation. Consult an electrician to see if you can use existing wiring to discretely control both. Otherwise you can hang the fan and light kit and operate the light with the chain at the light kit.

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

Yes, you can operate the fan and the light with wall switches. The Owners Manual provides installation instructions for both single and dual switches.

The light kit must be connected in order for the fan to operate. It is not a typical fan that has the endcap (cover) that would be removed to install an "optional" light kit
