Has anyone used this on ceiling fan blades? Looking to update an older ceiling fan, and thought this may be a cheap yet effective way.

No - haven't tried that. I used it on a spike high heel (shoe)that got damaged and had to glue it to make is stay securely.

Since the sticky glue is horrible for this product, I am going to say that will probably not work so well. It might initially stick but I am sure as the fan starts rotating, it will start becoming unglued and fly off. I have used it on several hard wood products and have yet to have it stick for very long.

Also try a different blade. I only use blades in my unit and never had any problems.

NOT GOOD IDEA. Blades are made of some type of composite material with a laminate over them . On one of my blades the laminate was loose and I re glued it.

Hi Joe, I have bought several of these types of fans at my place of business. I have them on constantly and have had no trouble. Might need to be cleaned after a while of use. The only reason for the price difference i can see is that one fan is a little bigger and throws more air faster at a higher rate . The smaller lasko's work well too but dont move as much air. So your application should be taken into affect. Hope this helps!

Your suggestion sounded the best and easiest, so I tried and it worked. Now the fan is clean and works as well as ever. Thanks!

I'm not an expert, but I really believe it will work with a standard ceiling fan. As long as the diameter of the part of the fan that fits flush on the ceiling is not larger than the diameter of the hole in the middle of the ceiling medallion, it will work. The base of the ceiling fan I have is smaller than the center hole of the medallion. I took pics of my medallion, but I don't see an option of sending a pic with my answer. Sorry.

Yes, it does work in a ceiling fan. A caveat though. Notice the metal heat sink and realize that light will be directed forward in the direction the bulb is pointed and not backward. No big deal, but I just mention that because if you have glass globes, depending on their shape and orientation, the globe's glass behind the heat sink will not be illuminated. This just gives the globe a slightly different look than perhaps what you may be used to seeing.

Yes, these work fine in ceiling fans. We have them in several ceiling fans. Some of the cheaper LED Light bulbs that I got from Sam's Club had the ghosting problem you spoke of. They were early LED Bulbs from lights of America and total garbage. These are much better light bulbs. Technology is much improved. The only thing I would be wary of is if a LED bulb(Any brand of LED Bulb) is in an enclosed space such as canned lighting and is on for long periods of time 10+ hours a day constantly. The heat sink gets extremely hot and begins to struggle to dissipate the heat. If that is the case the bulb may prematurely fail. But no ghosting happens with these at least from what I have seen.

all you have do is remove the clam shell off.. use clorex wipes on the blades.. and inside the clam shell to remove the dust.. too difficult to use vaccum cleaner.. .. I do it about every 2 months to keep it going.. it works great for me so far. Ok? oh by the way, I keep this fan in living room... not in garage.. hope this issues helps u guys to clean out..

We only use them in the ceiling for lights in our shop. Have never used them for a ceiling fan so I can't help. They definitely don't last as long as they say they should last for lighting. We replace them at least once per year.

I found I had to hammer the fan blade onto the shaft (hurr hurr...shaft) that comes out of the engine. I think it has some markings on it to indicate how it is meant to be rotated. Once I pounded it on there it seemed to work better. Another problem is you may have the fan blade on backwards e.g. the front is pointing backwards. If that is the case, the blades will likely not generate enough forward facing air.

Tighten all the tiny screws? Can you be more specific about it not working? What is not working? Do the lights turn on at all? Do the blades move too slowly?

The thermal compound that comes with it works just fine. It is however recommended that after 2 years or so you should clean the old paste off and add new thermal. Thermal dries out over time and you lose cooling. It's not something you need to really keep constant tabs on, when you notice that your temps are starting to rise a bit, just redo the thermal then. I recommend Arctic silver over anything else.

I used this motor in a ceiling exhaust fan. It had a squirrel cage on the shaft. There was no set screw on mine, the squirrel cage blade unit was pressed on. I placed two pieces of wood between the motor and the squirrel cage and set them on a 5 gallon bucket with some rags in the bucket to catch the motor. I then used a long punch that would fit in the hole of the squirrel cage and tapped it off with a hammer. Any piece of metal rod should work as long as it is smaller then the hole. It comes of fairly easily. To mount the new motor place it on a solid surface that won't damage the motor an line up the flat part of the shaft and cage and tap it on with a hammer.

Don't own the fan (sent it back-no remote). Any fan will work as long as you buy a long enough down rod so the blades don't hit the ceiling.

No. Take the old fan blade off the old motor by removing the pin and sliding the blade off.
