Well, you often need the fan at night down here in Slower Lower

them especially helpful in "after the fact" fan installations in a
couple of houses over the years when all you have is a single switch
for an overhead light, and want to put both a fan and light in place,
without having to redo the wiring, etc.


I agree with the desirability of running the fan with the light off,
and those RCs are nice too, but what's wrong with the old fashioned
pull chain switches included with most fans?



They're likely to be in inconvenient locations. Not by the door, and
not reachable from the bed without getting up.

The fan and light (and a computer monitor) in my bedroom use X10
modules with controllers in both places.
