I too would like to know how to wire this if my fan has a nightlight in addition to the fan and light? Please help!

You can't use this one for both the main light and the night light. The description was misleading. I had to buy another dual pole switch (one for the vanity and one for the night light).

We have a panasonic fan/light combo. We hired an electrician for the install, the bottom switch on the unit controls the condensation fan, the middle switch controls the light. It also goes on/off by itself if there is too much condensation buildup. This was a permitted job and signed off by the city inspector. Our unit does not have a nightlight. Hope this helps.

I believe you will need an additonal switch. On this unit, there is a switch that I used to control the light. Then there is the automatic/manual switch used to control the vent fan. I don't have a nightlight, but I use a seperate timer switch to control the heater built into my vent/light/heat unit.B. Wood

You need a 12VDC power supply - could be a wall-wart you might already have, or some other power supply. I found an inexpensive 12V power supply on Amazon that I used in my project that powered the fan, as well as some other circuitry (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002FH54L6/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1). Then you need to wire the fan to the supply - either solder the wires, use terminals or wire nuts, etc.

If you want to control the fan and light separately then you will need a switch for each. If the night light is to be constantly on, then you will need a separate non-switched power source for that light. If you want to control the night light also you will need a third switch. In my installation I had one switch and no non-switched power since I was replacing a simple fan and I did not want to rewire the bathroom. The light and fan come on together when the switch is turned on. I didn't use the night light since I had no always-on source of power. For each thing (fan, light, night light) that you wish to turn on and off separately you will need a switch.

No, I have a similar situation. But the connection on this fan doesn't allow it to be that simple. Light is always on. It might have something to do with the components involved so maybe its possible but as far as i can tell for the fan to run the light has to be on also.

Sorry I can't help you. I didn't put a light on my fan since I was using it on a back patio and had other lighting.

I rewired mine and have a separate switch for the fan and the lights. I often use the fan alone. But I always use the fan when using the lamps to prevent excessive heat buildup.

I installed the fan myself and after following the wiring instructions it did not work properly. I ended up just switching the wires around until it worked. I put this fan in several months ago and don't remember the exact wiring. I left the canopy off and moved wires until it worked. Sorry I can't be more exact with the wiring..

No. It connects directly to the fan motor wire. You do need a wire that's separate from the lighting, and a fan that does not have a built in controller (or one you can bypass). In other words, if you now have two separate wall switches for the fan and light, this is a direct replacement for the fan switch.

I guess you could wire the fan and the light to the fan side of the switch. When you switched the switch off, it would seem like nothing is happening, but it would just activate the timer.

You can connect both fan and light to the fan wire but you are better off using a single function delay off switch. A single function switch will probably have a higher power rating.

All these fans can be connected like that. Choose your fan for air flow, then light and night light. I use a 3 rocker switch.

There are three separate wires that could each go to an individual switch. One wire for the night light. One wire for the fan and one wire for the light. All three could be separated or they could be ganged together if desired.

The heater, light and exhaust fan are wired seperately in the unit. The usual approach is to buy a 3-paddle switch at Home Depot and run supply wires separately. You can also put a timer and a thermostat in series. Or, you can do what I did, which is to mount a toggle switch on the side of the housing to allow u to shut off the heater in the summer!

The fan offers a few ways to wire the light and fan. You can wire so that the wall switch turns on the fan AND light, then you use the two chains to select the light, the fan, or both. Another way to wire is use the wall switch to turn light on and off, then use the chain to turn on the fan when you need it. I only had one switch so I chose to wire the first way. Wiring instructions for the options I mentioned are included in the documentation.

Unfortunately I had my electrician do the install. I can tell you that the Heater should go on the top switch, fan in the middle, and the bottom switch actually is for the Heater/Fan over head light and night lights. You push the switch left for the overhead light, middle is off, right is night light. Hope this Helps...Happy Holidays!

You should be able to wire these the way you want. Download the schematics from Panasonic to be sure. I wired fan with main lamp, night light separate.

there are different power feed wires required for each element in the fan (fan, main light, night light) so you can control each independently
