The fan doesn't come with a wall switch but it can be wired to almost any type of wall switch. HOWEVER, the Minka is a three-wire European system so an extra ground line would have to be installed to use a wall switch. The remote and receiver come separately. It operates three speeds of the fan and turns the light on/off. I mounted the bracket for the remote onto the wall and use the remote as a "wall" switch. If you want the light off permanently you can remove the bulb easily. Or just don't turn it on. The frosted light fixture makes the bulbs pretty much useless anyway other than for a night light. Fantastic fan, though. The fan doesn't come with a wall switch but it can be wired to almost any type of wall switch.

Fan and light controls mounted in wall only, no remote was offered. You can probably add a remote by installing a receiver in the fan housing. Existing light circuit handled both new fan and light because the amperage is low enough.

It does come with a wall control. I purchased their wireless remote & also used the wiring from a light. The wireless allows you to fully control the light on/off/dimmer.

I believe that you will need two wall switches --- one for turning the fan on/off and one for turning the light on/off.

The switch either provides electricity to the fan or denies electricity to the fan. To use the fan's remote control the switch must be on to provide electricity to the fan and light. Once the electricity is flowing to the fan and light then you can use the existing receiver and control unit. The wall switch is extraneous to the remote control unit.

This does not come with a wall switch. I ordered a Lutron Maestro dual dimmer that works pretty good. There's two "tap" buttons, one for the light and one for the fan that control the brightness/speed. The fan speed is set on the fastest speed at the fan and the wall switch then controls the fan speed. The drawback is a pretty loud hum at slow fan speeds. Mid-speed and up is pretty normal sounding.

The fan did not come with a remote control. It came with a multi-control switch that goes inside the switch plate.It lets you control the speed, direction and Light.

Hello. I actually think that the wall control is the best way to control the fan. Rather than a remote (that could get misplaced), the wall control is a stationary control that allows you the same function. Please let me know if there is anything more I can do to help. -Beth

I set mine up with wall controls (1 gang "switch" but with separate fan and light dimmer settings, with its own remote and control system that replaces the one that came with this unit - from Lutron). I did not want to have just the remote, or a single control/switch on the wall. If you're wiring this up new, consider using 12-3 wire (versus 12-2) - the extra "line" (2 hots, 1 neutral, 1 ground) allows you more flexibility with fan/light fixtures for separate controls "at the switch." Incidentally I've had these units a little while now and both are working just fine.

No, if you're asking about the hand held remote. Nothing is visible on the fan, we use only the remote and do not have a wall switch. We have 3speeds for the fan & dimming feature for the light. Hope this helps.

No u need to use the remote to control the light and fan speed. It is the most easy way to install it. If u have two switches on the wall u don't need the remote. But most homes don't have that..

You have two strings for independently control of light and fan. The light is just on/off. The fan is on/off and you have three speeds; low, medium and high. To provide power to unit, I have it set up with one wall switch. Once you turn on wall switch power, then manually can turn on/off light and fan. The unit does not come with a remote.

I have the Hunter Cortland fan and it is wired so that one wall switch turns on the lights and the other wall switch turns on the fan. We didnot get a remote for the fan because the installer said the remotes are more of a problem then anything. We have had the fan up for a year and a half now and it works perfectly. No noise on low speed, which is all we use. Hope this is helpful to you.

If you currently have only one switch both the fan and light will operate when the switch is turned on. If you have two wall switches currently, one that operates a fan and one that operates the light in the fan assembly then you will have the option to have only the light operating without the fan being on. If the second switch currently operates the lights over the sink then you will not have the option of light only in the fan assembly.

The light and fan have pull-chain switches. The light switch is off/on. The fan switch is off-high-med-low-off You could also install a wireless remote control. It will allow you to control the fan speed and the light (with or without a wall switch). The wireless remote kits are $18 at Walmart.

This fan does not come with a switch. If you have a 3 conductor romex cable run to the fan, then you can have separate switches for fan and light.

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.

The fan comes with a hand held remote that dims the halogen light, you can also purchase an optional wall control that dims the light as well

Hello! You can purchase a wall switch to operate the fan separately, SW90W, SW46W, SW46LA or SW90LA. If there is anything else we can help with, please let us know! Better Living Store
