Hi All I have an unusual problem I think. I have a Hampton Bay ceiling fan that I have installed and works perfectly, except one thing. The light will only dim and not turn off completely. This is the 2nd fan from Home Depot (manger replaced previous one). I had been led to beleive it was 'receiver on prior unit, but that did not fix problem. I assume it's related to wiring somehow, but not sure where or how. I have read tons on the net and watched dozens of youtube video's and just can't see where I have done anything wrong. I have replaced all the fans in the house and am not having this issue in any other fans. Fan is wired according to instructions and all functions work. the wall switch had two switches, left side and right side, which leaves me with an extra 'red wire' in ceiling. I have capped it off. It is also properly grounded and in removing wall plate for wall switches, do not see any looses wires or connections. If anyone has any idea's on what I can do to fix this very annoying problem, I'd really appreciate it. I do not have a volt meter or anyway to test current on lines, but I cannot see where any 'bleeding' is occuring. All connections have been checked and re-checked and as mentioned, this is the 2nd fan, entirely differant model, with same exact problem.

This past weekend I replaced the broken lantern on my yard post. I didn't write down the wire colors and now the light works, but never goes off and I have a photocell on my post. I connected the black from the lantern to the small black and large black and red from the post, the white to the white with a large yellow and there was a copper wire in the lantern that is connected to nothing. How should I wire this so that the photocell works correctly? Thanks for the help! nk
