Power problem (gremlin?)

[Tomsic]

Are you sure it was a remote sensor? Sounds more like a power limiter so total lighting wattage was limited. If you put in bulbs totaling more than

190 watts, the limiter shuts the power off. That's been a DOE rule for fans built since 2009. If the limiter doesn't turn on the remaining bulbs when a bulb or bulbs are removed (there may be a time delay), it's faulty.

Yes, there can be remotes that control both the fan and the lights; but I've never seen one that just controls the lights and not the fan.

AFAIK, the remote controlled the circa 1996 fan too, probably did; however, the sensor didn't shut off power to it (reset it) when the bulbs were removed.
