Questions and Answers for Hunter Dempsey 52 in. LED Indoor/Outdoor Matte Nickel Ceiling Fan with Light and Remote

A:  No. I purchased a replacement programmable wall switch that essentially does the same thing as the remote, without the chance of getting lost. To use this, just hard wire your circuit hot, then the fan always has power and is controlled by remote or wall switch.

A:  Hello Jim, No, since the Dempsey model is not manufactured with pull chains, you will need to use the included remote control to operate the fan speeds and lighting. You would need to purchase a Hunter model fan with pull chains if you want to operate the fan from your wall switches. Have a great day!

A:  Our electrician said we could use the same wall switch. However we decided not to. So it was possible we just wanted a different kind of convenience. We attached the remote in the holder that was enclosed right next to the light switch already on the wall. We want to use the light on fan for lighting for quick entry into our bedroom. It works perfectly for both the light and the fan. The remote can be removed also if you want to keep by your night stand to turn light on quickly without getting out of bed or change the air level on fan. This fan is wonderful for us and so quiet which was tops on our list too. We bought two fan and had the other one installed the same date in the living room. Even though the vans and remotes are close in location there is not any compromise on the remote working for the correct fan.

A:  Unknown. I never tried it. I mounted the holder of the remote on the wall near the old wall switch, so the remote is like a wall switch itself.

A:  Yes. Set the fan speed and light the way you want it with the light switch on. Then you can turn the light switch off and on and the fan will always come on with those settings.

A:  This can be hardwired to a wall switch.

A:  Yes you can. I installed my fan to a Lutron Maestro fan/light switch combo. You can use the wall switch or the remote, not both. When installing don't install the remote hardware at all. From the fan the black wire is the fan and the blue wire is the light.

A:  matte

A:  It is matte.

A:  Our fan has a matte finish.

A:  Hi PK, White is like a flat color, Fresh White is a more creamy White and Snow White is more bright and glossy. Have a great day!

A:  Hello Jason, No, this Dempsey model is not Energy Star rated. Thank you!

A:  I don't think it is a DC motor which is the most efficient kind. Check the specs; it should tell you the power consumption.

A:  Yes, simply press and hold the light button to dim.

A:  Hello Trun, Yes, you will hold the Light button to raise and dim the light level. Have a great day!

A:  Push and hold the light button and the light dims. A quick push turns the light on and off.

A:  No, this is not Smart enabled.

A:  Hello SmartDIY, No, the Dempsey model is not HomeKit compatible. We do offer some fans that have a Wi-Fi enabled receiver that is compatible with Apple HomeKit, like the Signal (model 59224) and the Symphony (model 59222). Thank you for contacting us!

A:  Yes this has a remote holder. I was happily surprised when I saw it with the remote because there was no mention of remote bracket in description.

A:  Hello Janet, Yes, the Dempsey model will have a wall remote cradle included with the fan. Thank you for contacting Hunter Fan Company!

A:  It dims by the remote but a wall switch is available.

A:  Hello Bill, No, since the Dempsey model is not manufactured with pull chains, you will need to use the included remote control to operate the fan speeds and lighting. The included remote control does have a dimming option. Have a great day!

A:  The Product Overview says, "Includes dimmable bulbs to give you complete control of the light output." I imagine this means, yes, indeed, you can control these bulbs with a dimmable switch.

A:  Max is 14 W LED

A:  I did not have a need to change the bulbs. They were bright enough. Just make sure they are on the highest setting (dimmer).

A:  Hi Mpayne, You can use different LED bulbs with this fan as long as the LED bulb wattage does not exceed 14 watts per socket and the socket base of the bulb is the same. Have a great day!

A:  Hi quincy, No, the Dempsey model cannot be flushed mounted. The closest mounting option will be using the included 2 inch down rod and the measurements are as follows: from the ceiling to the bottom of the blades is 8.47 inches and from the ceiling to the bottom of the light kit is 12.65 inches. Have a great day!

A:  I used the 2" rod that comes with it and it was perfect. It's not flush mount but less than 13" from ceiling to bottom of light. Perfect for my 8' ceiling in bedroom.

A:  Yes there is a flush mount option but Home Depot sell it under a different model #59242 for $189.99. According to HD website assembled height is 12.27"

A:  Hi Loey, You can use both the included remote and a wall remote (like 99373). You will need to only use 1 receiver. Have a great day!
