How To Install Light Switch For Ceiling Fan

Ceiling Fan Switch Wiring

Ceiling Fan and Light Kit Command Options

There are several ways to control ceiling fans and light kits.

• One wire/switch - to turn power on/off to the fan (and lights) at the same time
• 2 wire/switches - 1 switch turns ability on/off to the fan, the other to the lights
• Pull bondage - to adjust fan speed and lights
• Remote command - available on new or existing fans to arrange fan speed and lights
• Wall command - to adjust fan speed and lights, wall controls are available for either one or two wire/switch configurations

One Wire vs 2 Wire Switch Wall Control

A 1 wire configuration uses 1 switch and 1 line wire to control power to a fan (and lights).

A two wire configuration uses 2 switches and two line wires each to control ability to a fan and lights.

Line voltage enters the switch outlet box and the line wire connects to each switch. Switched lines and neutral connect to a 3-wire cable that travels to the lite/fan outlet box in the ceiling.

The fan control switch commonly connects to the blackness wire and the light kit switch to the ruby-red wire of the 3-way cablevision.

In this diagram, the black wire of the ceiling fan is for the fan, and the blue wire is for the light kit.

Ground connection diagram is shown separately.
