Differences Between Carriage House & Carriage House II Ceiling Fans
Based on my research, the main differences between the Hampton Bay Carriage House Ceiling Fan and the Carriage House II Ceiling Fan are:
| Feature | Hampton Bay Carriage | Hampton Bay Carriage II |
|---|---|---|
| Design | Antique pewter finish | Brushed steel finish |
| Traditional cage design | Modern and streamlined cage design | |
| Lights | 5 standard candle bulbs | Integrated Edison-style ST19 bulbs |
| Blades | 60” real wood blades in cherry/oak | 60” composite wood blades in walnut |
| Other Features | Reversible motor, integrated LED lighting | Reversible motor, integrated LED lighting, light dimmer switch on the motor housing |
| Energy Efficiency | Comparable | Slightly higher energy efficiency ratings for Carriage II |
This table outlines the key differences in design, lighting, blades, and additional features between the Hampton Bay Carriage and Hampton Bay Carriage II ceiling fans.
So in summary, the Carriage House II has a marginally more modern, simplified design with dimmable Edison bulb lighting and composite blades instead of solid wood. But both share the decorative cage-style look and offer similar air circulation capabilities and convenience features. The II does have some improved elements though for those wanting a more updated fan model.

Can the Lights Be Dimmed By an Independent Dimmer Switch?
Yes, they can be since the fan has a separate wire for the fan speed and for the fan light. The ceiling fans light wire can be connected to a separate dimming switch.
However, you are going to need a compatible dimmer for LEDs, since this ceiling light kit comes standard with LED bulbs.
Since standard dimmers for the incandescent light bulbs work by reducing the voltage to the light bulbs to make them appear less bright, and LEDs just will not work at the lower voltage, and this is even if they’re dimmable.
With a LED they are either off or on. The dimmers for the LED bulbs work by reducing the frequency of the electric pulse going to the LEDs and they are solid-state.
So you are going to need to install one of these LED dimmers inside your wall switch. After this, you are going to need to separate out the light circuit from the ceiling fans motor circuit. Then you would run the wires from the light circuit, through the ceiling and along to the dimmer switch.
However, as you can imagine it’s do-able, but the big crunch is that its probably not going to be worth the aggravation and time in my own opinion. A qualified electrician should be able to do the job, but would probably cost more than this Carriage House ceiling fan!
