We have a bunch of fans on the schedule but unfortunately, the Clarkston is not one of them. There is an instructional video for the Clarkston on homedepot.com The Clarkston is a hugger style fan and the installation would be similar to the Stoneridge or Holly Springs Low Profile fan (those videos are on our channel).

@ceilingfans101 3 жыл бұрын

The fan speed is controlled by the remote. Is the fan connected to any wall control switches?

@roxanaleon4709 2 жыл бұрын

Would you know if the fan can be used without a control??

@ceilingfans101 2 жыл бұрын

the fan could be installed without the remote, but would take some minor altering of the wires to cut off the wire harness plug. Then you would have the separate wires to connect to a wall control. Black (fan speed power), blue (light power) and white (neutral).

So I also have a red house wire , since I have two switches on the wall (one for the fan and one for the light),, so my question is.... is it possible to operate the the fan and light independently with the two wall switches when you also have the remote connections set up? if yes , what do I connect the red house wire to?

@ceilingfans101 Жыл бұрын

Since the fan has a remote receiver, the recceiver can only be wired to one standard on/off switch. That would allow you to turn the fan and light on/off using the switch while retaining full control with the remote. There is no way to wire the remote receiver to 2 separate switches.

@petrocksgarage Жыл бұрын

@@ceilingfans101, is there a way to wire up the fan without the receiver so the light & fan can be controlled independently via light switches? Remotes get lost pretty quickly in my house, so I'd like to hook it up to my light switches. Thanks.

@ceilingfans101 Жыл бұрын

@@petrocksgarage Yes, technically, the fan could be connected to switches. This would require you to cut the wire harness plug from the fan wires. Once the wire harness plug is cut off, you will have 3 separate wires: black (fan speed power), White (neutral), and blue (light power) to connect to the switches. Please note that any switch used for fan speed control must be a variable speed switch, not a dimmer style switch.

@petrocksgarage Жыл бұрын

@@ceilingfans101, awesome! Thanks. I should be able to just de-pin/cut the blue wire and connect it to the red house wire and leave the black & white wires alone. That should get the behavior I want with the bonus of being able to change the fan speed from the remote (until we lose the remote). This assumes the receiver does not toggle the white (neutral) wire when changing the fan speed. I don't see why it would but stranger circuits have happened. If it does then I'd have to remove the receiver all together like you suggested. Thanks again!

I’ve wired the fan so it’s operating with the remote. However light switch does not work anymore. I only have a single switch to control the light source, no switch for the fan blade. Please help!

@ceilingfans101 10 ай бұрын

In general, the only acceptable switch option for a remote control fan is one standard on/off toggle style switch. Remote receivers typically do not have a way to be connected to 2 switches. If you want to use separate switches to control the fan, you will need to wire the fan directly to the switches and not install the remote receiver.

@BIG_DRU 8 ай бұрын

Interested in this fan can anyone tell me if the light is bright enough..........

@ceilingfans101 8 ай бұрын

The light kit uses two 60-watt equivalent bulbs. The bulbs can be repalced with brighter bulbs if needed. Each socket is rated for 60-watts each, so brighter, higher watt equivalent bulbs can be used as long as the bulbs are not bigger than the A19 shape. In general, ceiling fan lights should be used as a supplemental light source used in conjunction with other room lighting like lamps or recessed cans. We do not recommend using any ceiling fan light as the sole source of light in any room.

i have double wiring how does this work

@ceilingfans101 3 жыл бұрын

We are not licensed electricians, and recommend contacting a licensed electrician to make sure wiring is done correctly if you are not sure about it. That being said, if you have double wiring in the ceiling, chances are that one of the wires is for a switch. If that is the case, you can cap the black wire off and connect the receiver to the switch wire instead. That would allow you to turn the fan and light on/off using the switch. Again, if you are not sure about the wiring and it differs from the manual, please contact an electrician to make sure no damage is done by incorrect wiring.

What is you have two switches?? Can this work

@ceilingfans101 2 жыл бұрын

In general, if you have 2 switches, the remote receiver can only be connected to one of the switches. If connecting to a switch, it would have to be a standard on/off type switch, not a speed control switch or a dimmer style switch. If you want to use the switches instead of the remote, you can cut the wire harness plug from the fan wires and then connect the fan wires to the switches. Once you have cut the wire harness off, you will have 3 separate wires: black (fan speed power), blue (light power), and white (neutral).

you can just connect the green from the mounting bracket to the green from the downrod. Or, just not connect the green wires to anything.

Hello I followed directions when done ceiling fan didn't come on is it something wrong

@ceilingfans101 2 жыл бұрын

We'd suggest going back and making sure that a wire did not disconnect during the installation. Also, check that the dip switches in the remote and receiver are set to the same settings and make sure that the reverse switch is properly positioned (not stuck between settings). If those tips do not work, call Hampton Bay customer service. Their team is pretty good at troubleshooting.
