Can these bulbs be used in an overhead ceiling fan as replacement lighting?

Yes, I believe they can. These have the same screw size as regular light bulbs. However, they are curly light bulbs and as such, will be slightly longer than regular light bulbs. I was going to use these in the overhead fan in my dining room but my family freaked out at the bright light, LOL. So yes, they would fit, but they will be super bright up there.

They fit standard lamp sockets. However, the light quality may not be what you are used to. You may want a higher wattage. I have two of the in my bedroom ceiling fan and they aren't bright enough for me. Pay attention to the wattage max on your fixture. The bulb size is the same as a regular bulb.

I would not use these at all in a ceiling fan. I blew my fans entire electrical system with them and had to pay an electrician to come fix it. Steve

Yes! Use the wattage you want, and get the "screw-in" type bulbs that fit the light sockets of the fan's light. If you use a dimmer, get the LEDs that are "dimmable". Also, watch the LEDs COLOR. Warm lights are in the 2700-3200K. Range. Cooler color (blueish) run in the 6000K range.

I use these in a lamp that specifies 25 watt max per bulb and they work well and put out more light. As long as your fan used bulbs with the same size base as these they should work.

I have used them in overhead recessed lighting. I don't know if you had the right switch if they might be dimmable.

I do not believe so as these bulbs will use less power than your regular bulbs.

Not entirely sure. It should work, I think, but probably with slightly dimmer output if the voltage drops too far. My main concern would be that these bulbs are not designed for outdoor lighting situations - these may not be particularly rugged enough. In general, the longevity of these bulbs are somewhat low - they tend to die within a few months or so. Since I have not yet reached that stage with my purchase so far, I can say that they are working "normally" for now. :)

I am guessing that you cannot replace the bulbs since they have such a long life. I would email the manufacturer though.

you should be able to. I leave identical bulbs outside and on 24 hrs per day everyday. They last summer and winter outdoors for years.

Not a good idea if the ceiling fan has an enclosed cover. These bulbs are halogen and get hot and have a small candelabra base. I don't think your ceiling fan has a candelabra base.

It depends on the base and wattage that your fan is able to sustain. These lights were 40W equivalents and tea light bases

I would think as long as the wattage was correct yes.Like any light fixture you must insure the wattage does not exceed the recommended maximum. Please if you do replace the bulbs be careful to avoid possible fire. I have had mine and do not leave them run often so I do not go through many bulbs. They are the flood shape bulb and that could be an option. The stock bulbs are fragile and very light. Hope I have helped you out.

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

Should be able to do so. They are standard light bulbs, and should be able to be replaced with LED's. Ours have worked fine, the bulbs will discolor over time.

I don't see why they wouldn't work. There LEDs so they run cooler than regular bulbs.

These bulbs have the small E12 threaded base. I think most ceiling fan light fixtures require the larger E26 base. However, if your fan uses the E12 base these may fit and the description says they withstand vibration, so they should hold up in a ceiling fan. But, I don't have any experience using them in a ceiling fan.

The lights work fine in my chandelier, not overly bright. I would have no reason to believe they would not work just as well in a ceiling fan. I am very satisfied with the bulbs.
