can this fan be used with a lamp cord with a split switch and plugged into an outlet?

Hi Sharon...this fan does not plug in. It has to be wired into an electrical box on the ceiling. It does have a cord but that is only used to turn it off and on and the same cord regulates the speed. Hope this helps.

No. It is designed to be wired direct and securely attached by a ceiling junction box.

It is neither. It requires one or the other. In my case, being an electrician, I installed a switch controlled outlet near the fan and attached an old power tool lead cord to the fan. The unit is in my garage workshop and this is probably the best installation for this location.

It could, but you would have to leave the 3-way switches in the 'ON' position.Once any of the three switches are changed to the 'OFF' position there would be no power to the outlet/Heath device.Best to plug into a constant power source.The same applies to a floor or table lamp that has an in-line switch. That switch would have to be in the 'ON' position. We have three instances of this in our house.

I don't think so unless you bought & used a converter. It has a little motor for the fan.

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.

Yes. I have a lamp and a recliner with heat/massage plugged into a switch. No problems so far. I 'm not sure about how many amps a switch can handle before it is overloaded. Items drawing high amps (I.e. Heaters, toasters, coffee pots, electric kettles, etc.) may damage the switch if too any are connected.

It depends. It's a 3way switch. If the fan has light heat nightlight and fan then no. After I picked the fan I wanted I called customer service and asked them for the model number of a compatible switch. If you're adventurous you can figure it out with info on the website. The cuts svc peeps were very helpful.

I don't know - I use it in the garage for an 8-foot overhead, florescent light (over the bench so we don't have to pull the light's switch in and out of the outlet), and a floor fan. The purchased switch is working great.

Yes. It can be, if you wire it that way. There are 3 individual feed wires, for, (1)the fan, (2)the main light and (3)the night light, so that you could connect the fan and the main light to one switch, and the night light to a second switch. The combined current(amps) of the fan and the main light is very low, and is well within the capability of a standard light switch.

It has a standard 110V plug - so, as long as there is an outlet nearby, it is just like plugging in a lamp.We ensured the fan brackets (on ceiling) were mounted into the floor joists, so it was secure. But, for the electrical, it is just a normal plug.We bought 2 and love them.

Not necessarily...but you should. You'll need power to the fan obviously and power to the switch, but you don't need to wire the switch to the fan directly. The switch communicates (light, speed) to the fan wirelessly. The initial setup requires you to sync the switch to the fan which is done at initial power. So if separate circuits they need to come up at the same time.

Yes. I don't use it that way but it's really just like one of those things you plug in to give you more outlets to a single plug-in with the option to switch it off. I love mine. I use it as an on/off switch for an antique lamp. Makes on/off as east as pie without having to install a switch on my Victorian lamp.

Yes. you can use this fan with any USB source. A 12vdc wall plug would need to have a USB connector.

Depends on where the outlet is and where you are placing the lamp. I don't think there is enough room to coil up the cord behind the lamp itself.

The fan only operates with a plug in cord; however , I purchased, on line, an individual light switch module that plugs into any wall outlet that allows me to turn the fan on and off without actually operating it at the fan base. This switch module was necessary because I mounted the fan 12 feet above the floor (Cathedral ceiling) in order to better circulate heat from a woodstove. I have these portable switches through out the house. Saves a lot of re-wiring.

I believe this switch is rated at 1800 watts. As long as you fan is not drawing more than that, you should be fine to use it.

You need an electrical outlet for the fan to plug into, otherwise you can hard-wire it to a electrical source.
