Comment on Converting Ceiling Fan light from Intermediate(E17) to Medium base so you can use CFLs by Tony Primerano

Hilary, I would just buy the adapters off ebay now. See Hung’s link above. I suspect in 2 years you’ll be able to get LED bulbs for about $2. CFLs have been such a disapointment IMO.

Wondering now what you think the best option would be. I have 4 ceiling fans that were already installed in our house that require the intermediate bulb. You can now purchase the CFLs in intermediate, but they are pricey. I could get adapters and medium base CFLs for about the same price (although then I would always be able to replace with the medium bulbs in the future instead of having to do the intermediate). Or I could try your conversion, but I’m not that handy with electrical

Thank you so much for this post! I have been banging my head against a wall because of rack caching for a while now. For the longest time I thought it was nginx doing this caching, because I saw nginx had the page hit, but not Rails. Then I recently had the revelation that perhaps it was Passenger doing the caching, which led me to the tmp/cache directory. When that didn’t seem to be it, I finally landed here and was able to fix my issue!

Hey Hung, Nice to see that the price of adapters has dropped a lot since i wrote this in 2008. That is certainly a safer option. The only drawback would be that the bulbs would stick out a little more.
