We have the fan and love it, but the light is very dim. Can we put a higher voltage bulb in? It is the ceiling light for the room and way too dim.

we bought this fan for our sun porch because our ceilings were low and this fan is small. in order to have used the lilght we would have had to intalll a third wire. so we don't use the light at all.but i would try a higher watt bulb and see if it blows!!

Not at all, not sure why they said that as my son just installed ours, we also have low ceilings and they look great! Was not sure about the LED light but it is awesome! You can dim it with the remote too. So glad we purchased these fans, was a great investment! Good luck with your fan!

The fan uses three candelabra type lightbulbs. If you use the brightest LED bulbs available instead of the incandescent ones provided it might give you the brightness you desire.

Yes, but I don't have a dimming ceiling fan so I'm not sure on the answer if u have one of those.

Meka Willinger Francis said on May 1, 2015 | Edit I own the fan and also don't like it when LEDs are too bright. One of the lights was a bit bright for me. I use a product called Light Dims (also sold on Amazon) that are basically stickers to cover the LEDs I find annoyingly bright in my home. There's a completely opaque version and one that lets a little light through so you can see the LED if you're up close (I find these sufficient).

I used a regular light bulb, but I want to tell you that the light that I can use is so dim, you will have to have other lights in the room in order to see. I have bought Hunter fans for years and have always been pleased, but I think when you put the largest watt bulb you can use in it, you will still have a dim light. Not happy that I have to burn lamps and open the blinds in order to see with this Hunter Kensington fan. I have used Hunter fans for years and years, but this one is like no other that I have used. The fan doesn't even put out the breeze that my older ones do. I guess you get what you pay for!

The light cannot be dimmed, unless it is possible to run a seperate dimmer switch. I will say this about the ceiling fan, they run very smooth if they are mounted properly and are extremely quiet. Very good quality... Make sure when you mount any new ceiling fan that the electrical box in the ceiling is mounted tightly to a ceiling joist.

Yes. In my installation, when I turn on the fan the light goes on but it is very dim. I have another switch that turns on the light by itself with the full brightness of the bulb itself. When you turn on the fan with the dimmed light, you can flip the other switch to the ON position and you'll have the bright light with the fan on. I guess this is by design so you can save energy when you turn ON the fan during daylight. I hope this helps.

It is about the same length as a "normal" incandescent bulb, so could be too long. You might check other bulbs with the GU24 base or attach a bulb adapter (search GU24 bulb adapter on Amazon) and then screw in an LED Ceiling Fan Bulb.

The dimmer has a way of lowering the minimum brightness setting. If you read the instructions, it is under the "Setting Minimum Light Level (Programming mode)" in the "Operation" section. That said, when I tried doing it, it didn't bring the brightness level down below the default setting. So, maybe you can bring it up, but not down further than the default. We ended up putting lower lumen bulbs in one room where I wanted the minimum brightness to be lower.

I had fans with small blades and ones with longer blades. The lighting on smaller fans is brighter. I was not around when they are being installed so I am not sure on the kind of bulbs used. I would say there is sufficient light but not too bright

Don't know. I used the bulb that came with it and not enough light. Very dark in the room with only the fan light on. However I love the fan and use lamps for addl light. Hate the incandescent bulbs.

Move about a 5th of the way, before it comes on "DIM". Note that I am using the new LED Bulb rated at 60 watts. Bob

Im not sure this would be it but I do know we had to take the energy efficient bulb out and replace it with a traditional bulb, as the energy efficient ones do not work well with dimmers. I think that was the problem we had too, dont remember.

Yes, it's actually bright enough that we don't use the light often, since ours is in a TV room and we have other, lower light sources. It uses a halogen bulb. You do have to run it from the remote, though. You might want to think about how that will work in a kitchen. Maybe leave the light on so you can turn that on & off with the switch, and then use the remote to adjust the fan setting? It is a REALLY cute, quiet fan.

I don't think this is currently possible. I suspect it may be part of the fan controls if it is a problem even with non cfl bulbs
