Though easier than what I have experienced with other lighted fans, this was not easy to install, assemble and electrify, but the end results are everything I hoped for!  The chandelier that this lighted fan replaced was on a dimmer switch, and when I turned on the electricity the light was dim and fan would not turn.  I replaced the dimmer switch with a 3-way (there is a switch at each end of the room), installed the battery in the remote and reenergized and am delighted with the results.  The remote works for both the light and the fan; I mounted it above the existing toggle switch.  This is a beautiful fixture and a GREAT value - high quality for a fair price.
