I'm going to be installing six new LED cans in my living room. Hopefully this picture gives you a good idea of what I'm trying to do. The paper cutouts are my templates for cutouts.
However, I'm planning on removing the light from the ceiling fan, and hopefully I can use that existing power source to wire in my cans from the attic.
I hope to run these lights off the existing switch at the door (pictured below). It's currently wired for an outdoor light on the right, a ceiling fan speed controller in the middle, and the ceiling light fan on the left.
I'd like to hook up all the cans to one dimmer, which will take the position of the existing ceiling light switch on the left. Then I'd like a replacement fan speed controller in the middle, and then keep the outdoor light switch on the right.
Is this something I should be able to do myself, or would I really need to call an electrician? Also, I was hoping the cords running to the ceiling fan would be individual (one for the light, one for the fan), but it appears to be just one single white cable.
If you guys have any advice or suggestions I would really appreciate it.
