Problem for Home Decorators Collection Star-tech Fan Ceiling

I am installing a ceiling fan/light with a remote




By rvervoorn on Oct 11, 2009

" "
I am installing a ceiling fan/light with a remote control and the wiring in the ceiling has a red wire and two white wires which are connected. I am used to seeing only a black and a white wire. in order to properly connect the new ceiling fan components do I connect the black wire from the fan control to the red coming from the ceiling and white to white?

the two white wires are the neutrals, just add the fan's white wire to the other whites. The red wire is the hot wire, same as a black, so connect it to the black.

" Yes that is what I have done and the fan works fine, but the only special bulbl I can find is too dim to be of any use. Thanks for the tip !! " - rvervoorn
