Can you install a ceiling fan with light replacing your current ceiling fan that does not have a light?

Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.Yes you can, but the light will only come on when the fan is operating. If there is a three wire going up to the fan from the light switch box then it was pre-wired so that a separate run for a light to be operated independent from the fan. The cable will be a red, black and white wire. The black will connect to the fan, the red to the light in the fan and the white to both the neutrals of the fan and light which is up in the fan housing.If the switch box is only a single gang box there is a duplex switch that can be installed in the box. The cover for this duplex switch is the same cover as a duplex receptacle cover.


What alteration would occur if a single pole switch is reconnected to become a master switch?

If a single pole switch is wired to be a master switch, the switch would have to be in the on position for any other control devices to operate. Turning the master switch off would eliminate power to all devices (and/or loads) which it was serving. For example, some homes have a switch to control their outside light. If the outside light has a photo eye (the light will only come on at night), the switch is the master switch. Another example would be the breakers in an electrical panel. Each breaker would be the "master switch" for the circuit it protects. The main breaker in the panel would be the "master switch" for the entire home.
