I need a light kit to go with a low profile hunter fan, but I hate CFLs. Can I use an LED bulb with this instead of the CFL it comes with?

CFLS have come a long way and are more compact and better looking than previously used. I would think that as long as wattage rated for lamp holder is not exceeded AND LED lamp fits in housing, should be able to use. You could check directly with Hunter.We have this fan and light kit installed in our screen porch, since we needed an outdoor rated assembly and light is used intermittently but works great. One thing about this, light comes on quickly (not like some old CFLS), even when is cold out there.

Any of the Hunter Douglas light kits should work. I installed Hunter 28593 Swirled Marble Glass 12-Inch Bowl on mine. The cap and cover on the fan unscrew and can be used with the light kit to give you an exact match with the fan hardware. You don't need the extra caps (white, brass, etc.) that come with the light kit.

Yes, I think there are several. I chose "Hunter Fan Company Hunter Fan Company 99158 White Cased Bowl Light Kit"

NO halogen is the only available bulb for this light.There are some LED lights available but right now they are too pricey.Check out some some lamps made by Cooper lighting.They use PAR 38 bulbs but you can purchase CFL lamps PAR 38 that use a LOT less electricity.That's what I did on the last light I bought.

Yes, an optional light kit can be added to this fan. Please check Hunter's website to see all of the available light kit choices.

The fan does not come with a light kit but it is my understanding that one coule be purchased and installed. The first 2 fans we received were defective. Being made in China has not helped Hunter's reliability.

Any hunter light kit will work but since i used outside i chose a light with one globe so bugs wld stay out. All hunter fans prewired for their lights- very easy install

You will need a dimmer made for CFL and LED bulbs. They are readily available and only cost a little more than standard ones.

I don't know. Mine is mounted in my garage, and I had no need for a light kit. BTW, after replacing the first wireless relay with the new one Hunter sent me, the fan has worked fine since.

Yes you can. However, you I reconmend not using CFL bulbs because they contain Mercury inside. Use LED bulbs even though they cost a lot more--they will last 10 times or more longer. Hope this helps

I used a different light fixture in mine. But in doing this, it will only except a different HUNTER light fixture (that was my experience with it). I liked it alot better.

You would have to call Hunter. Did your light kit die, or don't you like it? btw. Amazon sells Hunter Light Kits... I would check with them first. ~s

Yes. No problem. I installed the CREE 75 watt equivalent warm light bulb and they're awesome. And since my lights are on dusk-to-dawn, the lower LED power use really is an advantage.

The CFL/LED designation means it will work with low watt lamps, regardless of the lamp base. There should be no problems.

Yes, I'm using it with a CFL right now. I would assume it would be fine with an LED as well.

I have used it with a CFL, but I don't know if it will work with a LED bulb.

This fan does not come with a light kit. Light kits are not universal. This fan will take any light kit from Hunter that starts with the part number 5xxxx. See my review + pictures.
