A:  No, you cannot use ANY type of dimmer switch with this ceiling fan. This fan comes with a specific wall control and this wall control needs to be installed and used with this ceiling fan.

A:  I use a GE Zwave controlled wireless fan controller that works perfectly. I've been using it on two of these for about 8 months without any issues. Also Matt, DO NOT INSTALL THIS AT 8 FEET! It must be 10 feet or higher. It is very powerful and at 8 feet I would be very concerned about my fingers.
