That is not the situation here though. The fan and a completely separate light fixture are on the same switch. OP wants to turn on the fan without turning on the light fixture. There is nothing you can do with the fan to enable keeping the other light fixture off while the fan has power.

It seems like your choices are either replace the light fixture with one that you can put smart bulbs in or pay an electrician to run some new wiring.
A lot of these answers don't seem to understand your question.

Well, there is another thing you need money to fix. I believe safety showers are now supposed to be supplied with tepid water, so people will stay under them as long as needed and/or not get hypothermia.

>I had thought the closer we got to the Center of the mass the more intense the gravity and the further away the weaker ?
As the other answer said, it is a very small difference. The earth has a mean radius of ~4000 miles while going from Death Valley to the top of Everest is only about 6 miles, so a pretty small change proportionally.
Edit: said diameter instead of radius

Reply to comment by OnlyVisitingEarth in Eli5: what’s the difference between a graduate and undergraduate degree by deadpuppy101
I am not sure that applies generally. I would say it is more that undergrad is generalized, while grad school is usually more focused.
As a chemical engineer, undergraduate was pretty much all general stuff that could be used in real world applications. Graduate students studied one area that could be very practical, could be "5-10 years" from being commercially viable, or something mostly theoretical.
My psychologist wife, however, didn't learn much practical as an undergrad and had to go to grad school in order to get a license in her chosen field - school psychology. So for her, it was kind a combo of both more focused and real world/practical.

Mono audio generally means having one channel of sound, whether you are using one speaker or ten to play that one channel.

>He's family.
There are MANY, MANY stories about parents stealing their own kids identities to open credit cards, etc, and all other sorts of other fuckery. A distant relative is no more trustworthy than a complete stranger. If they can afford a plane ticket they can afford a cheap hotel for the night.

Yeah, I seem to recall a study that showed smokers actually cost less because, as you said, they tend to die before ending up in a nursing home and lung cancer tends to kill pretty quickly.

Who said anything about it being a rip-off? $23k is obviously nothing to sneeze at, but it isn't anything like $200k.

Yeah, the headline is a bit sensational. With $28 million shared amongst 1200 employees, most would have gotten less than $23k. I mean, I wouldn't turn it down.

No, the spears are purchased separately. You keep them in case somebody comes to steal your extra tiles.

True. You would likely want to replace the fan with one that can be remotely controlled (or add a remote control , possible) and then just leave that switch on all the time.
