Will I need any kind of special wiring if we are replacing the light that is there with a fan with light???

Not sure I understand. You want to replace the light that comes with the ceiling fan? But it's integrated with the fan. You can cap it and have no light if you wish. It does come with that part.

We have a two way switch, one for fan and one for light which is on a dimmer. You don't need anything special.

No. The fan will only run with the light switch is on. You need to rewire if you want it them to run independently.

Yes, I believe there are two separate hot wires, one for the fan, and one for the light. The wires are stranded.

The bottom plate in the center of the fan unscrews with 2 screws. You can add any lite kit available that attaches to those 2 screws. I have not found one that will not work. When you remove the plate you will find the labeled wiring in side the cup for the light kit. It is designed to have a separate switch for the light if you have the proper hot leg at the ceiling where the fan mounts. If not then it will come on with the fan or you can add a separate pull switch

Yes instead of the light that the fan comes with. I bought two and live the look.

There is a separate branch circuit in the unit so that you can wire it to its own switch. If you install it as it comes, then the fan will go on with the light. There is a wiring diagram in the package that tells you how to wire it. Good luck!

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.

We had ours installed by a friend that knew wiring and they mentioned that it was a commercial fan and required a larger hole and exhaust fan vent than what we had in the bathroom. He did not mention the wiring in terms of it being difficult.

Although you can wire the fan and the light separately, it is not necessary. Both can be connected to the same power source.

Yes, you can add a light fixture. But remember, this fan is weatherproof. If you want to keep the weatherproof properties of the fan, you would want to look for a weatherproof light fixture.

I don't see why not. Just make sure you use a 4 wire connection to run the fan and light separately from the same single switch(es). Or, if you are using separate individual switches then I guess you'd be alright as well wiring each.

You will need to hard wire it like a ceiling fan, not a standard power cord that plugs into the wall. You wil also need to mount it like a ceiling fan so replacing an existing light helps. No switch, controlled by a wall on/off switch. Chain and wires are included.

If the light you are trying to replace works at both 6V and 12V power then yes you would need the special wiring kit, otherwise LEDs will not work at 6V. LEDs need 12V to light up properly.

You need a standard light switch to control the light. But you also need this to be hooked directly to continuous power as the fan needs to be able to turn itself on due to motion and/or humidity. There is a dual connection on the fan to accommodate this.

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.

not an electrician, but that didn't stopme from replacing a standard light switch with motion sensor. HP of fan is not revilement, all the switch does is allow power to go to the the device. If the fans are operated from two separate switches, best use 2 motion sensors.
