Light kit is fine and works well on Hunter fan.Surprised to find it uses Candelabra bulbs since the description on Amazon stated that it uses stardard bulbs.
I can not review this product,because it turns out it is not compatible with our Monte Carlo fan.I had to return it to Amazon.I am writing this so nobody else will have to do as I did!
I purchased this remote for a Minka Aire Fan and was the best addition to the Minka Aire experience.I do think it is a bit pricy (for just a remote) however it enhances the functionality of the Fan as my switch is quite far from my bed. I would have given it a 4.5 Star but there was no option to.I wish the remote was a little smaller and auto lite for night time use.You can't see or feel the buttons on the remote in the dark.Great product over all.
Had an electrician install the Bingham fan. Very little air movement, tried reverse, was even worse. Contacted Hunter who said, oh this doesn't have a good CFM(?) rating. Nice to know now. They told me to return it to the vendor and get a different one. But....trying to find out how this works because I now have to pay the electrician to remove it, and then install a new one. Does Amazon send a shipping label to return fan? Not sure. May never buy Hunter again.
This controller did exactly as it was described and performed very well. I am an electrical contractor and this is the only control of it's type I could find and I was extremely satisfied with it.
Wireless fan speed control MUST be wired to an existing wall switch location. Don't be fooled by the incomplete description.
We purchased this unit so that my kids would not be able to play with the pull cords on the ceiling fan.We weren't certain how well it would work, but the installation was fairly simple.We got it right on the first try.
If you have a ceiling fan with a light that you'd like to control without fiddling with the little chains and without the expense of wiring a wall switch, this is a great product. Installing the remote receiver in the fan base can be a bit tight, but it's fairly straightforward as long as you are comfortable with basic wiring. Once you have it set up, you can still switch the light on and off at the wall switch, even with the remote holder in place - a very good feature in case you lose the remote in the dark. The remote itself can either live in its holder over the regular wall switch or be anywhere else in the room. The fan buttons are very easy to operate (three speeds and off). There are two light buttons (smaller and fiddlier than they needed to be): one turns the light on at full and dims if you keep it pressed, the other starts the light on dim and brightens, both will toggle the light on / off if pressed briefly. This is a significant advantage over the otherwise similar Hunter 27185 / 27187Hunter Fan 27185 Light Remote Control remote which will only turn on at full brightness.
My husband and I bought this remote control along with a Hunter Fan, installed it, and ever since, the fan AND light have a mind of their own.At random times during the day and night the fan and/or light or both will turn on for no reason at all.We did a little test where we changed the frequency on the transmitter first to see if that was what was causing the problem.Theoretically the transmitter shouldn't have been communicating with the receiver since they were on separate frequencies.As usual, the fan and light turned on for no reason at all.So, the problem isn't the transmitter alone.Its either a bad receiver or just RF interference.This weekend we're going to change the frequencies on both the transmitter and receiver to see if this works but after reading other reviews on a different model #, this doesn't sound like it'll do the trick.We shall see....Muhhahahhahha.
So here's the deal.I installed this switch for the fan I just installed, lots of work and was excited when it was done and worked.Not being an electrician and all of that.Several days later I would come into the room and lo and behold it would be on.Then I installed a light kit, imagine waking up at midnight and seeing the light come on all by its' lonesome.
We have two of these (Hampton Bay) remote controls.They are connected to Hunter fans and have provided years of problem free service.We are about to buy a third control for a fan in the living room that will finally get a light kit.
We installed a ceiling fan/light in our master bedroom as part of a remodel and were able to run the required 3-wire romex to work the fan and light separately from the switchbox. After weeks of work, we installed the Hunter switch as the cherry on top. We were ecstatic. It took a while to get used to the slider switches and the master on/off switch for the preset felt a little chintzy, but we were quickly spoiled by the smooth dimmer and 4-speed fan control. Our joy lasted less than a year. The knob on the fan control broke off. I could now see how the knobs were attached to the sliders and it looks like they are designed to fail: a blade in the back of the knob is pressure-fit into a slot in the thin plastic slider. When you screw down the cover plate on a switch, you expect the job to last for years or decades. This switch lasted only a few months. Very disappointing.
It is very easy to use.It has 4 speed control.Super Low which just barely moves the air, low moves the air little more, medium and high.I am glad I bought it.
I purchased the Harbor Breeze branded remote from Lowes (same exact product).It seems that Litex makes Habor Breeze products for this Lowes only brand.
This worked perfectly for an existing Hunter fan that I had.The remote had failed on it, so this was the only way I knew to replace it.This replacement remote came with an attachment to retrofit existing non-remote Hunter fans.When I opened the box, I cringed, hoping I wouldn't need it.In side the replacement remote there was a simple switch used to code the remote to the fan's control unit. It is similar to some cheap garage door openers.I played with the coding switch and quickly stumbled across the code to my present fan.I put all the rest of the equipment that came with the remote back in the box and into storage.I don't care for how this replacement remote sits on the room's light switch as it is easy to knock off, but I guess I shouldn't complain as it does work.
I've owned 2 of these and both went bad, one even came defective from the factory. I WOULD NOT BUY PRODUCTS FROM THIS COMPANY.
I purchased this remote control when I purchased my Hunter ceiling fan/light a few years ago.It worked fine for about 2 years.Then the light bulb blew and the remote was dead.I called Hunter and they told me what had happened was the sensing unit attached to the fan blew and that in turn blew the light bulb, and they would send me a new unit.I installed the new unit and the dimmer for the light did not work properly.It would just make the light flash on and off.I called again and they said it was a bad unit and they would send me another.This time the remote would work the fan and light OK but now they would also come on spontaneously at random times.For example, I might go to bed on cold winter night and wake up with the fan blowing on me or the light on.Or, I might go away on vacation and come home to find the light and/or the fan on. Another call to Hunter resulted in their telling me just to change the unit's frequency code and the problem would go away.Well, six code changes later the problem still persisted. In addition, if the electricity went out, even for a few seconds, when it came back on, the remote sensor would automatically turn on the light. I gave up on Hunter, purchased a different brand universal type wireless remote and so far (2 weeks) it has worked flawlessly.This is not new technology.My garage door opener which uses the same technology does not open and close spontaneously or default to an open garage door if the electricity goes out.This is a very poor and defective technical execution of a rather simple product.
