First time poster here :) I just ordered a Hunter Ceiling fan from Home Depot (online). It come with the light kit. I haven't received it yet so I can't tell you much more about it. This is the fan in case the information is needed. [url=http://www.hunterfan.com/product_detail.aspx?id=29682]Hunter Fan - Curacao? (21317)[/url] Here is a .pdf link to the owner's manual. [URL="http://www.hunterfan.com/uploadedFiles/Support/Downloads/45032(1).pdf?n=970"]http://www.hunterfan.com/uploadedFiles/Support/Downloads/45032(1).pdf?n=970[/URL] I was looking for a wall switch/controller that would allow me to control both the fan and the light. There were 2 requirements for me: First, I want both controls to be able to fit into one 'decora' style switch receptacle. Second, I want the 'light' portion of the switch to be non-dimmable as I plan to use CFL type bulbs in the fixture. I was only able to find one product that fit these needs: The 'Modern Fan' Company control model #004ND. Here is a link to the control on the Modern Fan website: (It is the 4th one down) [url=http://www.modernfan.com/controls.html]The Modern Fan Company - Ceiling Fan Controls[/url] And here is a .pdf link to the installation manual: [URL="http://www.modernfan.com/pdf/ControlInstructions.pdf"]http://www.modernfan.com/pdf/ControlInstructions.pdf[/URL] SO HERE IS WHERE THE PROBLEM (FUN) BEGINS... I have contacted both the Hunter Fan company AND the Modern Fan company's technical support line. Neither one of them could/would tell me if this combination of controller and fan will work. Both companies said "It should work" but neither one of them said they knew for sure. I have also contacted a couple of fan/lighting/electrical dealers and have gotten responses varying from "It will definitely not work" to "It will work no problem" - each of them sounding equally certain and assuring. So the bottom line is that even after looking at both product's manuals and having spoken with at least 5 different people who should have a reasonably expert level of knowledge, I have no idea if this combination of products will work together. Prior to having doubts about these products working together, I decided to order 3 of these controls (one for the fan mentioned above and 2 for other fans in my house) not realizing that there may be compatibility issues. After I realized that there may be compatibility issues, I tried to cancel my order but it already shipped. Now, my only choices are to either accept the shippment or to 'return to sender' where I'll be able to get a complete refund and not pay for return shipping. I'd like to figure out before the shipment arrives whether or not this switch will work with my fan(s) that way I don't have to go through all the trouble for nothing. I'm hoping that someone here might be able to offer me a difinitive answer so that I can make the right decision (to either accept or refuse delivery of the switches). Also, if anyone has any other recommendations for controllers that meet my criteria, I would be interested as well. Thanks in advance!

I need lighting on steps to my basement. the light has to either go on the slope underneath the steps above, or be a sconce on the wall. I want it to be recessed underneath the steps above but having problem finding anything that will work. I have used HALO sloped ceiling cans (H47ICAT) elsewhere, but they are much too big. the H47T look smaller, but both of these cans only work from 2/12 to 6/12 pitch (9.5 degrees to 26.6 degrees from level by my calculations) my craftsman level tells me the slope under my steps is 41.5 degrees from level. so they won't work. an eyeball trim is only good for 30 degrees so as you started down steps it would be pointing in your face. any options for recessed can here or am I stuck with a wall sconce? or I guess another option is to put box flush with where drywall will be and then surface mount fixture on a slope? any ideas appreciated.
