The switch I'm thinking of is a wall mounted switch used to control the fan speed, not the lights on the fan. Similar to using the pull chain on the fan itself, except more convienient (the fan in my living room is 18' up, so the chains would have to be rediculously long, thus the wall switch). They should be available in the electrical section of most home building centers, or possibly with the ceiling fans in the lighting section. They are specifically designed to work with electric motors, and will indicate that on the switch or package.

Now for the catch, I don't know for sure that it will work for a PH, but it would be the best candidate for the job I think.
