This is not complicated. Just buy a ceiling fan control. They cost sightly more because it's not the same as a dimmer.

1.5 Amp White Slide-To-Off Quiet Fan Speed Control

Pick a fan controller with a higher rating if yours needs more than 1.5 amps.
Pepper Reviewed by Pepper on . dimming fans?? I know i have read its a very bad idea to use a light dimmer switch to slow down a fan but what can you use then? I have a decent size squirrle cage fan, it is pushing a ton of air but its just to much. it is very loud and i think if i could just slow it down a bit it would be perfect. thanks for any help!!:rastasmoke: Rating: 5
