wiring a ceiling fan with light 2 switches

These drawings are based on the wiring methods that an electrician would use in new construction. The wall switch can be an ON/OFF switch, a variable speed control or dimmer. The following diagram highlight the most common.įor the purpose of the diagrams we assume that if there is only one wall switch it powers the light and the fan is controlled by a switch on the fixture (the reverse is possible by changing the wire in the fixture identified as fan to light and the wire identified as light to fan. The wires that exit the ceiling fan/light fixture must then be connected to the wires found in the electrical box. If wall switches are used to control the fan and/or light the switches on the fixture should be turned to the ON position. NOTE 1: Pull chain, slider or other styles of switches, for the fan and/or light, that are mounted within the fixture can be ignored. The second part of this section deals with the wiring of ceiling fans with lights, as shown in Figure 1. Wiring A Ceiling Fan With & Without A Light - Part 2 Part 1
