Does anyone know if these can be used in a ceiling fan, AND, also, if a lighting fixture takes 3 bulbs can you mix bulbs?

Yea they work in a curling fan that accepts standard socket bulbs. I say this because some of the newer ones use bulbs with 2 pins instead of screwing in. And yes you can mix them.

Yes, to both questions. It's a big bulb, though, and it might be too big for a ceiling fan. Also, it's not a "pretty" bulb, so if the light fixture is downward-facing, it might not look good. Regarding mixing bulbs, that's no problem at all. I do that all the time in my fixtures.

I don't see why they couldn't go in a ceiling fan, but they are big bulbs and you'd want to be sure any decorative coverings (shades, glass) would fit over them. That said, they are nice enough to use by themselves.

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've only used them with incandescent bulbs so can't really answer that. You may try asking the manufacturer of the unit, or else just expect to use the older bulbs. Sorry I can't be of more help.

A ceiling fan is what I purchased these bulbs for, but they will only work if your fan was designed to use this type of bulb. If your fan takes a standard bulb these will not work, the base will be way to small. Hope this answers your question.

These are not made for use with hot (incandescent) bulbs. Only use fluorescent bulbs (or maybe LED bulbs in the future).

I had fans with small blades and ones with longer blades. The lighting on smaller fans is brighter. I was not around when they are being installed so I am not sure on the kind of bulbs used. I would say there is sufficient light but not too bright

I have no problem with my bulbs. I have these in my livingroom ceiling fan and in my bathroom. No problems at all with my bulbs or fans. It says not recommended for motion sensor lights...

I never tried. When bulbs stick out of this fixture ( most do ) it looks horrible so to combat this problem I use chandelier bulbs . Another idea are ceiling fan bulbs.

If you have standard size light bulbs in your ceiling fan this will not work because they have a much smaller socket. I use them in my sons night lights

Sure. Mine are in recessed ceiling fixtures and work fine. Keep in mind this type of light produces like one-tenth the heat of an old-fashioned incandescent bulb. That's why it is so energy-efficient- minimal energy lost as heat.

I dont know. I used the bulbs that came with this fan. it gives a good amount of light for me.

I've been using flourescent bulbs in mine without any problem. Hope that helps!

An internal sticker says 9W per socket (total 27W).The item likely comes with 9W bulbs for this very reason. Although, I suspect that you could put older incandescent bulbs, so long as your fan can supply such high power requirements.

No! I tried that in mine and they all blew. You have to use candelabra bulbs. But I do love this piece . It really dresses up a ceiling fan.

Do not think so. No mention or writing on them. Also from China so think NOT. But they worked fine in ceiling fan that had 1 small socket.I put fluorescent bulb in for more light and less wattage.

The light kit on this fan takes (2) 40 watt incandescent bulbs. You can change these bulbs and as long as you have the medium e26 base and do not exceed 40 watts than you will be able to do that. You can substitute for cfl or led bulbs as long as they have that base type and do not exceed 40 watts. Feel free to contact us if you have any further questions!

Yes just don't get the long cfl bulbs, unless you are hanging the fixture. Stick to the short spiral style
