Interesting product. I’ve been futzing around with ceiling fans while waiting on my led lights to be delivered. Decided to refurbish the existing (original to the house fan) after being unsatisfied with anything I see online currently . As far as the wiring goes, I’m going to leave the fan...

Something like this?

There is already a third switch, as far as I can tell it’s wired but unused.

Update... removed the ceiling fan and it looks like there is no j box at all. Just a piece of 2x6/8 nailed between the joists with A hole drilled through the middle for the wire to run through. Yikes. What do I do now?

Ok, I'll have to get the fan completely off of the box tomorrow to take a look at the box, but in the meantime, I'm reading everything I can on box fill calculations. Let's just run through the scenarios - 1. Box fill is not exceeded and I can add the additional wiring connection for my...

I pulled the fan off the ceiling and did some tests by unhooking pairs of wires and isolating the fan circuit vs the light circuit. Here's the layout: Black to Black - fan power Red to Blue - light power White to White - neutral So, in order to 'steal' the power for a new series of LED lights...

My goal is to install recessed LED lighting into my master bed room by the simplest means possible. Currently, the lighting for that room is provided by the light fixture mounted on the bottom of a ceiling fan in the middle of the room. If I can utilize that circuit to install the new lights...

Could I get some recommendations on what type/gauge of wire to buy to wire up the recessed lights? I'm thinking 14 gauge romex, something like this: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Southwire-Romex-SIMpull-250-ft-14-2-Non-Metallic-Wire-By-the-Roll/1193437 Is there a better choice out there?

Embarrassingly simple solution. Maybe I've been making this more complicated than I should have been. If I can isolate the wires I can just splice off a new circuit to wire the LED lights. That would solve my problem beautifully.

I have a home that was built in the late eighties - I've lived in it since 2014. Almost all of the lighting fixtures are dated and don't do a good job of lighting our living spaces. We have been upgrading one room at a time, and in the MBR there is one super old ceiling fan that lights the...
