This bulb fits down very close in my torchure lamp, will this effect the fan's ability to keep it cool? It is quite noisy, did not expect it to be.

As long as it is not closing off the vents on the light and it is open above the light you should be fine. The noise can be an issue. One of my three lights had developed a very loud fan noise while the other two have remained very quiet. I think the fan has become unbalanced but I have no idea how to fix it. After about 10 minuets mine gets quieter but not as quiet as the other lights.

If it fits closely near the thread end, that would probably restrict the airflow & cause overheating. It might also contribute to the noise, if the fan has to work extra-hard. (Although fan noise on this bulb is variable anyway - whether you get a quiet one seems a matter of chance.) The shape of your torchiere could also be amplifying the sound, like a megaphone!

the bulb is a bit big and could barely fit it in the lamp. It is not too noise and it is working fine so far.

I don't have them in lamps that are very tight around the fan, but I have noticed an intermittent fan noise in one of the 150W bulbs I purchased that goes in a lamp that has a glass hemisphere that acts like a megaphone. I'm not sure if it's at a resonant frequency, or just a random issue in one of them. The base can get very warm (I just put my hand on one that's been going for an hour and a half overhead), but not too hot to touch. I'm not sure how hot is too hot, though PacLights may have more information.

ability to cool, do not know. my bulb has a very low humming, but do not notice except when tv is off and no one is working in kitchen. it is no problem for us

The relationship between the base and the bulb in height is just a little different, and it would not fit in the torchiere I was trying to relamp. Otherwise it is quite similar. I hope this helps.

It appears to me that you would destroy the light bulb by going inside. I have a unit between to recliner chairs, about 18" from my head and don't hear the fan. In a warm area the fan must be operating to cool the electronics.

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 bulb is just glass with wire. For what ever reason it's vibration and causing it to make a noise.but to me this sounds like the outlet more then the bulb. Try another Basking bulb to see if it does the same thing

I would avoid this bulb. I purchased 6 to use in ceiling fans throughout my house. Within one month time all 6 had quit working. They are about the size of a standard bulb and screw into a standard bulb socket. Hope that helps

I don't think so, not for me. I cannot recommend this item. I have two of them and the bulbs burn out in six months, and right now, one of them is broken. You have to "train" the remote controls to work and my two remote controls are different models. I don't know if the fan/light is broken or the control. I have replaced the bulb at least four times trying to get it working. I think the fan/light is broken but I will have to call Litex first to see if they can get my control to work. I don't like these fans: they are too much overhead and they do not provide enough lighting for me.

Do you actually own one and had the light go out? My first one I had for about 2 years. I live about a mile from the everglades in South Florida so I run mine 24x7 except for when it is too cold for mosquitoes which means I run it nearly all year and I never had the bulb go out. Its an led and it does not appear that it is replaceable. My guess is that the fan would die first. Mine just got knocked on the floor one too many times.

I've had my fan for 2 years and I've not seen any problems with the fan or the light. The glass bowl is a bit lopsided but it always has been.. I use it intermittently all year and constantly in the summertime, it makes no unusual noises and spins smoothly without any wobble. It works so quietly that I sometimes turn the fan on accidentally reaching for the light pull, and later wonder why I've a chill. LOL

This bulb is a spot lamp bulb not like other bulbs. the fouces a beam or channle of heat to one area were normal bulbs scatter heat. so they will help heat a the basking area, theses do over heat very eay. do not use mimi dome lamps were theres isnt wide enough. my beared dragon would only bask around this hot zone never dirrectly under it wich did lead to him stay at temps around 85 or 82 degrees. even rising the lamp dome up higher didnt help. be care full of theses bulbs.

I'm not about fit, that of course depends on the threading size where your bulb screws into your lamp. It is small, as in chandelier size so maybe that answers that! Also-it's not very bright/strong! I got it for a makeup mirror and it doesn't really have much power so I can say it shouldn't burn your lamp! If you're after a soft glow-this is it!

Tom, the fan needs to be mounted on the back of the bulb. It should screw right onto the bulb. The ballest should just be cable tied to any metal part near the headlight housing. Just make sure its not a pipe.

This bulb is quite bright - I also use mine for close, small work. The light has to shine down directly on my project. The lamp I had this LED light in put the bulb shining up, and because the sheath and base covers about 2/3's of the bulb, not enough light was shining down on my project. Once I moved the bulb to a more versatile lamp, the light was as bright as I needed.

I bought the lamp and my liked it. WE sometimes kept it on over night as a nightlight, and we have used the scented oil and it worked well with the lower setting. the high setting heats up the oil too quick. WE have not needed to replace the bulb, but it's a regular halogen bulb, I don't see a problem finding one to replace it.

I use this bulb in my condo garage in southern Florida. the humidity and heat puts any light to the test. So far I've had no issues. The fan is very quiet in my environment.

Yes it's the fan closer to the bulb the other fan is a bit smaller. This fan will be the exact same make and model of the one your looking to replace, there identical.

The fan requires a small candelabra bulb. You might consider upgrading to a small CFL candelabra bulb as these will give you a higher output of light. I had to change mine because the light bulb that comes w/ the fan wasn't powerful enough to light up the room. I opted for the candelabra CFL 23w (100w incandescent equivalent), w/ an approx. 1000 lm output.
