Help replacing Hampton Bay fan receiver

I need a new receiver for my Halton Bay fan. It has up and down lights. I can't get the original anymore. I don't need I've that dims lights, just something that turns then off and on separately. Could somebody recommend a third party remote that would work here?

If it's the fan with the remote in the canopy then there are many replacements.
Hampton Bay kit

If it's the type of fan with the built in the motor receiver... it's more involved.

Thanks, but the problem is that only supports a single light. I have lights on the top and the bottom. All the ones I've found have only one light.

Sorry... I misread.

You had the Hampton Bay FAN28RUDLKIT.
The replacement for that kit is the RR7078TUDLKIT
The UDL stands for Up Down Light

Anderic universal kit.

Ah ok. I was searching for top and bottom light. Does this work? It's amazon prime:

Sure... that will work and at considerable savings.

Ok good to know. I'm wondering about how these fans work--would it be better to run 4-wire all the way from a wall switch or something to these two fans? The problem is that they're both significantly high and it's a real pain to try to change these things out. I find myself having to rent an extendible ladder.

You would need real four wire cable.
That's four conductors red, black, blue and white plus ground.

Oh ok. I can live with this I suppose. Is there any way to increase the max speed of the fan somehow? It seems like one moves faster than the other.

Does your fan also have pull chains ?
If it does make sure the fan is set to the high position.
It goes high, medium, low and off.

If there are no pull chains... there won't be a way to speed the fan up.
