Well the ones i saw that were for ceiling fans were like 1.5 amps....I believe you need at least 3-5 amps, right? That is why I was asking about the light dimmer switch. If you find a fan one that is more 3, let me know.

Anyone else have experience with this?
Bree1978 Reviewed by Bree1978 on . Dimmer switch for fan speed control? Can I use a light dimmer switch on my fan? They are rated 120V, and for 600-800w (fans are only like 80w right?)... I'm going to be plugging/wiring my fan into where an old fluff fan used to be, and I was hoping to wire a dimmer switch to it, to control speed (where currently there is a light switch). For all you electrical guru's, is there any modifying I need to do to the switch? I could buy the ones that they sell at garden stores, but they are three times the price. Thanks, Rating: 5
