You can. It takes a little bit of tinkering, but if you have the space and the chandelier or light is not too heavy it is really simple to do. Depending on the design of the light and distance from the blades it may move around in the wind. It also requires the right type of light. A flushmount or a light with a big flat base will not work well. Most any chain hung light would work well.

You won't find a fan that takes the standard base bulbs unless it is old stock. The change was made at least a year ago. Seems people were putting high wattage bulbs in the fans and causing a safety problem. There are now CFL bulbs for ceiling fans that should last a long time.

That is a good idea but I am not sure I would try it. At the very least I would try a tech support # if there is one and run it by them first. If you are not able to reach any one then I would just hook up the remote box with one of the switched power wires and use the remote. If memory serves correctly I believe it comes with a little bracket to hang the remote on the wall next to the switch. I have also in the past bypassed one of the switches so that the remote always has power to it. I would think if you try this w/o an answer from tech support, the worst that would happen is you would burn up the remote box but I still wouldn't take that chance. BTW, my experience w/ those remotes specifically has been a high rate of failure. Especially if the power to the box is on and you go through a power outage or brownout, it seemed to kill it every time. The ones that were installed but not powered when one of those situations occurred were not harmed at all. Good luck.

I'm assuming both switches are on the same circuit and in the same box? Then at the ceiling box, combine the 2 white wires together with the white from the ceiling fan/light and connect one black to the fan and one black to the light. Connect all ground wires.
