hampton bay fan

I have a new 52 inch hampton bay fan. It works fine but the lighting fixture gets so hot you cant hardly touch it. I installed the bulbs that it came with it almost smells like it is overheating the heat problem is just in the light fixture part of the unit

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.
