I wrote this up in response to somebody else’s inquiry a few months back. Maybe this will help actually is very simple
The kichler fans are actually an Excellent quality fan and you can buy a universal LED light kit at Home Depot that plugs into the fixture. I just installed light kits on all the fans in my mothers new house and I also wired it so one wall switch turns the fan on and the other wall switch turns the light on the fan by simply rewiring and disabling the switch that turns on the useless wall outlet for a lamp. easy Peezy takes about 15 minutes per light completely installed. At the wall switch Just remove the red wire from switch That controls the wall outlet and then unbundle the red wire that’s in the group of black wires and move that red wire to the existing switch—- super easy.

The only thing I can figure is there is a module or two in the wiring for the basic fan that is dividing voltage between fan speeds and the light, and a lightening strike took out the light side of the module. Fan works perfectly-the two light leads are clearly marked-I can't believe there is any wiring adaption needed to have voltage go to the light kit....has anyone else encountered difficulty installing a light kit on an existing ceiling fan?? Am I missing something??
