Question

The exiting switch is a double and the fan comes with a light-which switch is for fan,which for light?

Answer 1

Usually the first is for lights

Answer 2

The switch for the light is the first upon entering the room, by code.

Answer 3

There is no standard rule. Some people think alittle, and try to put the most used one on the top. My guess would be the lights on top.

One way to tell, is by unhooking 1 wire and turning power back on.

I take it your removing old light, and using fan/light combo? different colored wire may give you a clue also.
