Review on πŸ”’ Enhance Comfort and Convenience with Westinghouse Lighting 7787000 Ceiling Fan and Light Remote Control in White by Jessie Duhon

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works great but too big

For those who haven't played with it, this is a universal fan remote control. It has two inputs (hot and neutral power) and three outputs (neutral, fan control, lighting control). There are four fixed buttons for fan speed (low/medium/high/off) and one for the backlight, which dims when held or simply toggles on and off when pressed. Very easy to install with basic wiring knowledge and can be used with almost any ceiling fan. But this is not a Westinghouse product. Sure, it has a name, but even modern-day Westinghouse fans don't have permission for a remote receiver. You just have to slide it where it fits. And he is much more than necessary. The receiver should be designed to fit in a standard back box, there's plenty of room and it's likely to be found in most ceiling fan installations. But there's no room in my Westinghouse Comet flush mount bracket to easily install it (someone claims there wasn't a problem, so maybe I just didn't find the right angle. It's designed for Westinghouse fans. I'd probably recommend it Compare it to other brands, but if you have room in a lightbox or a large cover for your fan, this model works well - even with a wall-mounted remote.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
