Review on πŸ”‹ Lutron SFSQ-FH-WH Electronics Slide-To-Off Fan Speed Control Review by Jermaine Munajj

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works well when using a dedicated circuit for the fan

Works well when controlling the fan with a dedicated circuit. I removed the remote control circuitry from the ceiling fan and connected the fan's power cord to this controller which is now responsible for controlling the electrical power fed to the fan. It works well, with three speeds and one off. For reasons I'm not sure, it also has the ability to reverse the fan and turn the fan on and off quickly. If I do this a few times, I can get the fan to change direction. I think it's a property of the fan, not the switch. I started with two switches in a junction box with separate wires; One for the fan and one for the light. But the power supply was wired so that each switch operated an electronic control box that could control both the fan and lights, as well as adjust fan speed and light intensity. It was inconvenient and confusing as you had to turn on one switch and then use the remote and the other switch did nothing. Instead, I pulled the electronic control box from the ceiling fan and wired the fan and light separately to each switch. For the fan I used this controller; for light LED dimmer. Now the controls are intuitive and easy.

Pros
  • White
Cons
  • Very Expensive
