    Hampton bay "click in" wiring question
    I bought several of the Hampton bay "click in" ceiling fans for my new home. I have been very pleased with them and they have been very easy to install, however I do have one question. Each room that I am installing them in has 2 live wires in the ceiling, and a dual switch plate (one to control the fan, the other for the light). However I can only find one spot to feed the live wire on the fan motor assembly. Is there a way around this? It's not a huge ordeal, but I would like the convenience that 2 switches provides! Thanks!

    If you only have 1 hot on the light/fan, it is likely remote, even then you can usually pull a second wire through fan and to light kit for separate control.
