Bree thats exactly what i am going to do. first thing im gonna have to do is check the amperage draw for a light as in reference to what a fan pulls in amps. if the amps are below what the dimmer can handle it should be good.i think i would probably go with a dimmer for a ceiling fan though seeing that they are built for dimming a motor instead of lights. dont know if it makes a difference but it sounds logical to me...LOL. any electricians out there help us out.
