Ok, Im going to need some help on this one, because Im not sure how to get what I want.
I have a room that I would like to put a ceiling fan in. This ceiling fan will also have lights. Id like to be able to control the fan and lights with two separate switches. If this were the end of it then I would be OK. I could make this happen. However .
Id also like the light to be on a dimmer switch (NOT THE FAN, just the light). Is this possible? I cant seem to find a switch that contained a regular switch and a dimmer switch.
In other words, Id like to be able to flick the fan on or off and Id like to be able to dim or brighten the fan lights.
Does a combo switch exist that contains these two functions? Or do I need to buy a dedicated dimmer and a dedicated switch? What if I only have a single slot in my blue junction box?
Can you tell Im a total amateur yet?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
