    Ceiling fan light
    I have a fan with remote. It has a bottom and top light. Both lights started to going very dim, but still light up. The fan has a remote and I've checked voltage coming out of the receiver in the fan without the lights wired up and there is 125V. When I wire the lights back up and check I only get 28V. What's going on?

    Press and hold the light switch on the remote for about 10 seconds. Most remotes have the ability to also dim as well as turn on/off.
