I see that it is rated to be OK in a ceiling fan light fixture. Anyone using it there, and how well has it held up to the vibration?

I have 4 of these in a ceiling fan light fixture. They have been doing great for several months with regards to the vibration, but my fan rarely runs on high. Most of the time it is on medium or low.

I have been using it with LED light bulbs in my ceiling fan, and have had no problems thus far.

We have 2 bedrooms which have this ceiling fan. The light is not bright but works great for bedroom use. On a 1 - 10 scale of "bright", I would rate it a 7.

I don't think it is safe to use outdoors unless you live in a very dry climate and it will be protected from the weather (mostly rain or wet stuff). It is designed as an INDOOR ceiling light with fan. When I assembled the unit, I noted that it is not air (or moisture) tight, and definitely not a sealed unit in any sense of the word. I would not recommend using it outdoors except under very protected conditions (like maybe on a porch where there is no chance of moisture getting on it). Also if you have any winds, I wouldn't even consider it. I hope this helps!

I use it in my home office in in a ceiling light fixture and it fills the100 sq/ft with light. If you look at the bulb closely you can seethat the light is concentrated at the "large" end so shining downis what it does best.(also it is as bright as the 100 watt CFL it replaced)

the bulb is very interesting. it works when it wants, goes off when the nite is young and is very temperamental. would i recommend it? not if you want it for security the whole nite long. we are trying to figure out why it is so temperamental but so far no luck. so up or down is not an issue with us, the lights are.

A single bulb works fine in an outdoor enclosed fixture and the vibration of a fan should not be a problem. Whether the heat buildup would be a consideration would depend on the configuration of your fan. If all 4 bulbs are in the same enclosure and it is recessed or against the ceiling, it could be a problem. If they are in separate enclosures and well away from the ceiling, it should not be a problem.

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.

That's EXACTLY what I did.Works like a charm.We've had it for a while now and love it. They've been flawless and throw a nice, subdued in and under-the-cabinet light.

I am using mine in a ceiling fan (the fixtures are not fully enclosed, they are the bell-shaped type that are open on one end) and they are fine. I also am using one in an open in-ceiling can fixture, for downlighting. They are great and very bright. The only annoyance I have noticed is that sometimes one of the bulbs emits a high pitched buzz. It doesn't happen all the time and I've not diagnosed the cause. Overall, I'm thrilled with these bulbs, though. They are VERY bright for 9 watts.I have had no problems with ghosting at all.

I installed it myself n it did burn out. I'm not a professional but have installed other fixtures with no problems. My repair guy said I installed it wrong n could have burned the house down. It is beautiful so i bought another one. When I bought it I never read about the hazards. I wouldn't have bought a second one. I'll keep a close eye on this one.

I rent too. It's a really good quality pole, as long as you place it where your ceiling beam is there shouldn't be a problem. Mine hasn't caused any damage and I've taken it off a few times.

Mine just started buzzing. I have cfl's in my ceiling fan. I turn them off and the buzzing stopped. I just don't know why it just started to do this at this time because I've had this setup for almost a year now. Oh well, thanks to everyone who contributed.

I have no Idea... I used it in a ceiling fan... does it have a pull chain on the light? if so I would say it will probably work but I am not an electrician...

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.

I don't use this particular bulb in my fan; I use the pac lights and don't have a problem with them. Unfortunately depending on your power circuitry you may get momentary flickering, but if it is non-stop, I would get a lower wattage unless you want to pay an electrician to rewire.

Being in a ceiling fan fixture shouldn't have any bearing on ghosting with these, Mine have never exhibited a ghosting effect. Generally CFLs are more known for that due to the phosphorescence coating inside the glass. I use my LEDs in track-light cans in my kitchen and am very happy with them. I've also got one in my son's bedroom lamp and one in my front porch light.
