I have two ceiling fans in my house and would like to change the switches. The old switches for the lights are at least 20 years old so not made for LEDs. Both fans are controlled at seperate locations and that is fine. The switches are in a two-gang junction box, so one seperate switch for fan and another seperate switch for the lights.Can a standard dimmer switch be used as long as the watts rating is high enough? This switch only controls the lights not the fan motor. The lights being used are four dimmable LEDs per fan unit.Will a fan speed control switch work with an older 3 speed fan motor? If not will a standard wall switch work or is there a special switch for ceiling fans? These fans are in a room addition with high ceilings so it would be nice to be able to control the fan speed from the wall. via /r/DIY https://ift.tt/2Ie3qcK
