I just had a 12x20 patio put in with a roof. I am going to have a light installed towards each end with a ceiling fan with lights in the middle. What are some affordable ideas of what type of light fixtures people are using for this? All of this will be run off one switch with the option to use fan lights by pulling cord.

Good Evening Everyone! My dilemma: I replaced a chandelier with a ceiling fan and have quite a problem and its getting quite frustrating. The existing wiring that was for the chandelier was there was a 3 way switch on one side of the room to control just the on/off function of the light, and on the other side of the room was a dimmer switch that controlled both the on/off function and dimming the lights. I installed a new dimmer and 3 way switch and tested it with the chandelier in place and everything worked fine. After installing the ceiling fan everything is not so kosher. The 3 way acted like an on/off but had to be ON for the dimmer to control the on/off function. The dimming aspect did not work at all. I have changed the wires around so much that I do not know which was where but after testing all possible combinations (I think) everything comes to the same result. Intended Goal: What I would like to have is a on/off switch on one side only controlling that aspect. The other side I would also like the on/off aspect but also to dim everything. Fan speed is not an issue I am looking about. If possible I would just like to fan speed to slow down and the lights get dimmed down. If there is anything I would need to purchase, then that is perfectly fine with me so long as I reach my intended goal of doing this. Wiring: From each box on the walls going to the switches there are 2 sets of wires. One set has Black, White, and Bare used as the ground. The second set has Black, White, and Red. Hopefully this information will help with finding a solution. At the base of the ceiling fan there were only 2 wires. Black and White. Thank you in advance to everyone that may help me in my dilemma.
