![]() I'd really like to go ahead and use the new 1.5 Amp switch so it matches the rest of the fan switches. I suspect the switches are worn out as they don't respond well sometimes.Īny help you guys can provide would be greatly appreciated. Note: The ceiling fans and wall switches are approximately 20 years old. And you can use it both to control the fan speed and dim the lights. For example, you could automate the two separately. ![]() It’s a more elegant solution, and it likely has more functionality too. However, I've heard these cause a humming noise, and I'd like my fan switches to be consistent throughout the house (appearance). A double smart switch lets you control both the light and ceiling fan simultaneously. My question is: What results can I expect if I replace the old switch with the new Lutron, 1.5 Amp? Safety concerns? I have spoken with Lutron - they suggest using a 5 Amp variable speed switch. They seem to run as expected on the highest setting. ![]() With the old switch in place, the fans run very slowly on the first 3 speed settings. The old switch I'm taking out is 1.6 Amp and controls both fans. As stated above, the new switch is 1.5 Amp. Each fan is 0.9 Amp for a total of 1.8 Amp. My issue is: in one room, there are 2 ceiling fans (without lights) controlled by a single wall switch. I have ordered several Lutron 1.5 Amp toggle switches with 3 speed slider to replace throughout the house. Hi - I am replacing my Casablanca rotary wall switches (4 speeds) for my Casablanca ceiling fans (with pull chain).
