    Is this new ceiling fan compatible with the existing light and fan dimmer control switches?

    Hello, I am a DIY home owner. 1. Are the lights on this ceiling fan able to be dimmed? Do I need special light bulbs for that? Is the light control switch proper? 2. Is the existing fan dimmer switch proper to this ceiling fan? 3. If it is dimmable, what kind of lightbulbs do I need to buy?
