| I've heard many many examples of this question: "I just put in a Hampton Bay fan and the light smells like it is burning, and gets really hot, what do I do?" Frankly I've been clueless on this one but I've always said "Try running the light for a good few hours to see if it needs to 'burn in'. Keep a close eye on it in case something's wrong, but see if the smell goes away." I've never heard back from anyone after that, so I suppose that's been a satisfactory answer.
If anyone has a better answer than that I'd love to know . . . but it seems to be an inherent problem with Hampton Bay fanlights. |
