Every LED I've tried in my ceiling fans flicker and have been a waste of mone. Does anyone use these in a ceiling fan? Thoughts?

I don't use LEDs in a ceiling fan, but all LEDs should be inherently immune to any reasonable level of vibration. Possibly the flicker is a result of intermittent interruption in power? An LED bulb could respond more rapidly than a traditional incandescent bulb to any drop-outs from a poor contact with the contact in the socket or a loose wire in the fixture.

I don't use this particular bulb in my fan; I use the pac lights and don't have a problem with them. Unfortunately depending on your power circuitry you may get momentary flickering, but if it is non-stop, I would get a lower wattage unless you want to pay an electrician to rewire.

This could be due to the ceiling fan having a remote control. For some reason most of the fan remote units I've worked with rapidly pulse the power to the lighting side of the circuit. This doesn't have any noticable effect with incandescent bulbs, but plays hob with CFLs with internal ballasts and LEDs with internal power supplies that rely on a constant AC power source.

Yes, they should work well in a ceiling fan fixture. I will offer this bit of information. They are very bright! If your ceiling fan has a glass diffuser so the bulbs are not seen directly, they will work very well. If the bulbs are exposed and can been seen, they may create considerable glare. I don't know if they offer the bulb in a frosted glass.

I tried the dimmer with 2 ceiling lights with Cree soft white TW series. No buzzing, BUT when turning on the lights, they flicker once, and then don't always come on again. After flipping the switch a couple of times, they work correctly -- until they've been turned off for a few minutes. Then the probably occurs again, but only once. I've confirmed that incandescents work just fine, so it's not the electrical wiring.I have 60w Cree TW bulbs with an older Lutron dimmer that's designed for incandescents, and that combination doesn't have the same problem. The lights just don't fade in as well, because the older dimmer isn't designed to start with so little power, I guess. They fade out just fine though.

Hello! I have to try to use LED bulbs.. but did not worked! Burned LED soon as I've installed... You must use with halogen bulbs.If you looking for LED.. do not buy this product! Thanks!

You can use them in a ceiling fan but I tried them in the fan light and the light was weird. They're great in the bathroom though. I don't think they're dimable.

Hi, Wanted to let you know like all new LED lights its hit and miss I think we've only had one bad but it happened almost immediately I cant give you an hour length because with all LED lights it just depends on how well the bulb was done.That being said they last a long time for the price.

Yes. I have them in my ceiling fan. In my opinion, If you are looking for maximum lighting, the crystal clear bulbs provide that much better.

This dimmer is designed for incandescent / halogen lights. Also, CFLs are normally not dimmable, but even if you got dimmable CFLs or LEDs they may not work with this switch (of the two, LEDs are more likely to work, but they may also flicker, hum, and you may not get the full dimming range). Unfortunately, they don't have a model for dimmable CFLs or LEDs yet. Your best bet is to stick with incandescent / halogen lights on fans if you want them dimmable without any issues.

Actually your wrong and just unlucky. I couldn't wait to see if I could use these in a dimmer, so I just called the company directly. They work and I'm currently using them in my living room on my dimmer switch. Not sure what else to say but if the bulbs work but don't dim, there is probably something wrong with your socket or switch. Good luck

Being in a ceiling fan fixture shouldn't have any bearing on ghosting with these, Mine have never exhibited a ghosting effect. Generally CFLs are more known for that due to the phosphorescence coating inside the glass. I use my LEDs in track-light cans in my kitchen and am very happy with them. I've also got one in my son's bedroom lamp and one in my front porch light.

The lights work fine in my chandelier, not overly bright. I would have no reason to believe they would not work just as well in a ceiling fan. I am very satisfied with the bulbs.

I have not had a problem with the candelabra bulbs in my ceiling fan. I get lots of light from the ceiling fan in my living room. The only problem I have encountered is "flickering light' due to movement of the ceiling fan. Since my ceiling fan light bulbs point out at an angle, I have more than adequate light. Sorry I couldn't help you out more.

I have two and have not noticed any flickers. I use the on a dimmer and they are great.

I can't say for certain, but I experienced favorable behavior from my lights. I installed them in replacement of the halogen bulbs in my hocky puck looking light fixtures. At first, when I would dim them, they would sometimes flicker. That behavior changed over time (roughly a week or so) and now there is no flicker. I really do not know why the flicker went away, but at this point I am very happy with them. The uncertain part is that you will probably not find any documentation to describe what I am stating, so there may be some randomness in what you experience.

I do not own any LED bulbs yet so I am unable to answer this question. I do use an have put in a spiral CFL bulb with no problems. Thanks.

Hmm I have the same ones and they work perfect for me. It sounds like you may want to try to get your waranteed. When all the led's are lit these are super bright.
