Thanks for the info on the government regs. I have looked all over for a ceiling fan with standards bulbs and can’t find any. No wonder!! Will have to try your retrofit since I want to use standard bulbs. Thanks

Going to give this a shot. I have been to every hardware and lighting store in the area and no one could provide as much information as you have.

Thanks.

I love the government and their infinite wisdom, especially dealing with energy savings. One more reason to replace your bases this way instead of a converter: the converters fit between the base and the bulb, sometimes not allowing the original covering to fit over the bulb(s). This is usually found when a glass dome is placed under the bulbs.

i to bough a remode in lowes hook it up corretly to fan but didnt work. took back to lowes and found out that the battery that goes into the transmiter has a clear
coating on it that must be removed. nothing in the insrutions tell you this.
so make sure you check all batterys for coating
save yourself a lot of work

I just got back from Ikea after looking for CFL’s (E17) to replace the 60 W incandescents in my ceiling fan – no luck.
The maximum wattage Ikea had for an E17 CFL was 7 W (equivalent to 25 watts incandescent).
So, thanks again Tony for the instructions on conversion – I’ll be giving it a shot.

Thank you thank you!!! I was almost in tears trying to find CFL replacements for my Hampton Bay, Home Depot-bought ceiling fan. I’m off to IKEA to look at the Sparsam bulbs ($7.99)since I’m intimidated by wiring. Sounds like they might work. If not, I’ll learn about wiring – by cracky!! Thanks again.

lol a number of the commentary bloggers put up are a bit spacey, now and then i think about whether they in actual fact read the subject matter and items before leaving your 2 cents or if perhaps they pretty much read the titles and write the initial thought that drifts into their heads. in any event, it is actually nice to look over keen commentary from time to time rather than the same, outdated blog vomit which i oftentimes see on the web i’m off to take up a few hands of facebook poker hasta la vista
