    Ceiling Fan Light Bulbs?
    I was reading the specifications for some fans, and it stated it requires standard base fan bulbs.

    Are "standard base fan bulbs" medium base, or are they Candelabra bulbs?

    Thanks,

    Brian

    Those are medium based bulbs. You can try regular bulbs but they do make bulbs for fans that take the vibration a bit better. In any case, medium.

    Standard is the more common term rather than medium. A candelabra is much smaller, a 60 w is called a A15C.
