Ceiling fan with dimmer switch ??

electricalkid · 15 Dec 2009

Thought about replacing ceiling light which currently is operated from a dimmer switch with a combined ceiling light incorporating a ceiling fan. Question are these compatable, in other words as in the title, can you operate a ceiling light/fan through a dimmer switch ?

We have exactly that setup. On the one we have, there are seperate connections for the light and the fan.

The fan is wired to the permanent live in the ceiling rose, and controlled by two integral pull cords, one for forward /off / reverse, and the other for three speeds.

The lights are connected to the switched live in the rose, controlled by a dimmer switch.
