Abstract
An enclosure is provided for the installation of a ceiling fan remote control circuit in a ceiling fan. A generally rectangular box encloses the circuit and is installed inside a canopy of a ceiling fan so that it rests above a support conduit and below a mounting plate. The enclosure is compact and inexpensive to manufacture and permits existing fans to be converted to remote control without requiring additional space. No adapters or additional part are needed and the appearance of the fan is not altered.
