I've got a light in my livingroom, connected to 3-way switches, that I've replaced with a ceiling fan with light. The ceiling fan/light has separate hot leads--one for the light, one for the fan--and a common neutral. Currently both hots are connected to the original 3-way outlet hot. The problem, obviously, is that when you shut off the switch, the entire unit shuts off. Since the fan also has pull-cords for both the light and fan, I'm wondering if it's acceptable to connect the light to the normal outlet hot, and the fan to the 3-way switch traveler? The theory would be that the wall switches would shut off the light, and the fan pull-cord would be used to shut off the fan.
My apologies if this is a ridiculous question, but I thought I'd better ask.
Thanks for your assistance.
Chris
