Whatever method you use double-check that there is no power reaching the ceiling fan by trying to turn the fan on. I’m a little paranoid when it comes to electricity so I turn off the power at my homes power box just to make sure.

WIRING A CEILING FAN WITH LIGHT TWO WIRES MANUAL
However, I am assuming you don’t have access to one, or the manual you do have has not explained the procedure. The simple answer to installing a Hampton Bay light kit is to consult the manual if you have one. I must admit I am no expert, but after a lot of research I have put together what I feel is a complete guide along with some of the more common questions you may need answers to, and it is well worth the effort adding a light kit as it will provide plenty of overhead lighting. If you are anyone like me, a complete newbie at this, then it’s going to be a fun way to learn.

I recently installed some new type Hunter fans without wall switches but with remotes. Buttons on the remote transmitter switch the fan and light separately.ĭecades ago I installed some old Hunter fans without wall switches and we use the pull chains. A single hot (which could be switched or not) goes to the receiver. I installed some of the new Hunter fans with remote receiver not built in, and those had black and blue (IIRC) wires for the fan and the light, respectively. And, of course, if the fan had a built in remote receiver (which I have yet to see) the fan and light could be controlled separately with only one hot, and no wall switch.

It is conceivable that in some newer fans the wiring allows separate control of a fan and a light using only one switched hot wire. There should also be either a ground wire or a ground contact screw which is to be connected to the gnd of the house wiring. The wiring of most fans is a black for the fan, a different color, blue, for the light, and white is a neutral common to both the fan and the light. If your fan wiring has only a black, a white, and a ground, then cap off (electrical tape or a wire nut) one of the two switched hots (usu you'd cap the red) and connect the black house wire to the black wire of the fan, and the white house wire to the white of the fan. The W is a neutral for both and is not switched. One wall switch controls the black (switched hot) and a separate wall switch controls the red (switched hot). The ceiling wiring of red, black, white, and gnd allows separate control of a ceiling fan and a light with ordinary wall switches.
