Sometime ago I invested in a whole bunch of those curly flourescant bulbs (CFLs) to save on power.
So, when the original incandescant bulbs burned out in my daughters Hampton Bay fan/light fixture, I replace them with CFLs. I then realized that while the lights are not dimmable, they apparently do use a dimmer to switch them on/off in a graceful manner. I then remembered that CFLs will not work with dimmers...oh well! So, I then replaced the CFL bulbs with some regular incandescant 60 watters....but they dont work now either. I think I might have blown something inside by using the CFLs.
Can anybody tell me if this light unit is fixable. The fan still works.
I'd be willing to live without the "dimming" capability and just have a regular on/off feature. So, if the dimmer has blown, can I just bypass it or disable it or take it out? If so, where is it?
