Ceiling Light Lighting
changing out light fixtures for combination ceiling fan/light fixtures?
im just replacing two light fixtures in my dining room with ceiling fan/light combos. The problem is arising with the switch on the wall which is the original from the 70's and is a combo on/off and dimmer. The first ceiling fan is somehow connected to the dimmer switch so the light is "sharing" power with the plain light at the other end of the ceiling. Will it all work itself out once I replace the ceiling light with the next ceiling fan?
No it won't work itself out. Your only option at this point without rewiring the room is to replace the switch with a new "switch" only no dimmer. This will turn on both units together and you will need to make your adjustments with their individual pull chains. For optimum performance (needs rewire) you would need a switch bank of 4 switches. That is one for eack light fixture and one for each fan motor. These will need rheir own switch legs (wire between unit and switch) thus the rewire, at present you have one and need 3 more. Fancier design could include a variable speed motor control switch for each fan and dimmers for each of the lights. Dimmers for lights are affordable but a VS motor control (dimmer for motor) switch can run near $100 each. For the fancier version you are looking at $800 total to have it done, or $350 in materials to DIY.
