How strong is the remote? Can it control the light with a wall separating the two?

I installed these lights in rooms that are 10 feet apart, separated by two walls and a hallway. When I click the remote to turn the lights on, the lights come on in BOTH closets. It's crazy!

Don't know for sure, but the signal can reach over 50 feet in open space. So my guess is that it can.

I live in a double wide and I can be three rooms over and the remote will still work. Not that I need it to but I tested it for this question. Remote seems to be very strong in my opinion.

The assembly is larger than a normal light switch in length and width. The electronics and remote sensor is hidden behind the plate, but does not recess into the wall. Also the mounting screw points don't match with a regular 2 gang electrical box. For all these reasons, I don't believe it will work as you've inquired.

I have three lights within one foot and one remote can operate all three lights in the same time if the remote is within 4 ft distance. The remote seems to be very directional as sometimes only one of the lights is operated and sometimes none of the lights work. It seems that after powering off from the wall switch they are reset and the remotes can control the lights again. If the lights are set on different modes/colors, if the lights are turned off/on from the remote the settings are saved and each light will turn on with the same mode/color as it was before it was turned off. If the lights are turned off from the wall switch, the lights go back to the default, flash changing through all the colors.

You can do either. Wall switch has to be on for remote to work. I suggest a dimmer wall switch also for fan and light. Awesome looking fan and very quiet.

There is a wall mount for the remote, so then the remote could be used for a wall switch.

This fan comes with a remote that has a wall mountable bracket. You can use it as a wall switch or remove it and use it remotely in the room. The remote controls light brightness levels as well as fan speed and on/off control. I just leave the builder installed wall switch in the "on" position and control it wth the remote.

No, the remote is not a very wide beam so you can get close and go from light to light with one remote to control them all.

Minka Aire WCS223, 3-Speed Light Dimming Wall ControlThis is the remote and the comparible controller. That should take care of what you are looking for. It's what I used and it has worked properly for over a year.

There are pullies as you put it for both light and fan (3 speeds and off). No remote. I put ours on wall switches so that's also an option.

There is a power wire and a reciever wire on the light. I think if u had two lights u can control off one remote.

Yes. I leave the wall switch in the on position and use the remote to control the light and fan.

The fan comes with a remote control and a holder which may be attached to the wall. I have my holders with remotes attached to the walls right next to the light switches. I believe it is possible to order a switch that can be separate from remote.

I have a remote control switch attached to my light. I purchased it at Lowe's. The lamp plugs into it and I can control the lamp from inside my house.

Yes the remote controls all, mine stopped controlling the light after one week!

The wall remote has to be hooked to power, and is constructed like any wall switch. There is also a fan controller which goes between wires connecting fan. The remote sends RF signals to fan controller to turn on light, fan, etc. i suppose you could use it for something else, but I would think there are better solutions for wirelessly controlling other electronics
