The Universal Wall-Mount Remote is a versatile control that may be operated wirelessly or installed through direct wiring in place of an existing wall switch. It is compatible with both dimmable incandescent lights and on/off CFLs, and it uses 16 different selectable frequencies to control your fan and light fixture. A battery is included.

i wanted to add a light switch to a wall that had none before. this product worked well for that. a few things you'll need to know that are NOT in the instructions are -- #1 -- if you fixture does not have a dimmer light, your code (dip switch) dimmer selection MUST be to OFF for the remote to work. #2 -- the two black wires on the box itself are the ones that will replace the existing light switch. one wire is POWER IN, the other is SWITCHED POWER OUT. the little "on / off" switch on the bottom of the remote face plate now switches this power. so, if the OLD switch powered the OLD fixture, you need to connect these wires (as per the instructctions) and turn the NEW switch to "on" (when you're ready to start using the fixture). if you're not replacing a prior switch (like my case), then this is just like your TV remote. you can cut a hole in the wall and mount it with no wires connected at all.
Yes, I recommend this product.

with an existing mount box, the product itself included everything needed to complete the assembly and hang the fixture. with the moderate background i have in similar around-the-house projects, the project was 90 minutes start-to-finish. two down-sides were #1, trying to fit all the wires into the mounting bell with the remote control (reciever) box required some extra manipulations. were i to do this again, i'd wire the reciever to the source first, then tuck the wires into the mount box before connecting the fan to the reciever. also #2, though untouched by human hands, the quartz bulb failed that very night. not a big deal, but did set me back $9 to replace it. my wife loves the fan itself. it looks great, moves a lot of air and is very quiet.
Yes, I recommend this product.
