I have an outdoor ceiling lover with a pale kit. Yes, the devotee part have multiple speeds. My issue is with the pale kit. When I'm cooking at the grill, I resembling the bright light, but when we are intake out there, it's nice to hold a little mood lighting.

I thought I would install a dimmer switch so I could change the light (and I can other up the speed on the fan if I needed if faster), but the switches I've see at Home Depot all read aloud "not for use with motor driven appliances". I tried one anyway, and as you would expect it didn't work.

Is there a style to do what I want?

Thanks!

YES, THEY DO MAKE A "DIMMER TYPE SWITCH" FOR A FAN. THE ONLY ONES I SAW THOUGH HAVE 3 SET POSITIONS ON THEM, LOW, MED, HIGH. THEY COST A BIT MORE ( A FEW BUCKS ANYWAY) THAN A REGULAR DIMMER SWITCH, WHICH ARE ONLY FOR INCANDESCENT BULBS, NOT FLUORESCENT. DIMMER SWITCHES CANNOT TAKE THE LOAD OF A MOTOR, OR THEY BURN OUT, SO YOU ANSWER IS , YES THEY ARE MADE, LOWE'S OR HOME DEPOT SHOULD HAVE THEM, THEY MIGHT BE IN THE AREA WHERE THE FANS ARE SOLD.
