I recently purchased a "Hampton Bay 52 In. Edgemont" fan (model nbr YG177-CLP) and after installation, found to my dismay that the LED light kit it comes with is dismally dim. I wish I had done more research beforehand, because this isn't a technical problem, the lights themselves are just normally dim. When I called the company they said it was normal, and they said there are not any brighter light kitsfrom them that could be interchanged with it. I know normal ceiling fans the light fixture can just be swaped out, but I don't know if the LED's make that impsossible. Can anyone help?

Sorry buddy led is led and there is no chance of making the brighter you have to live with it or exchange your fan

Razor is correct. You're stuck, unless you exchange the fan.

LED technology isn't great yet.

Not necessarily... I was having the same issue with this ceiling fan. The light can easily be configured to use regular bulbs of CFL bulbs. Here is a link to how to do it.

Basically it consists of:

1) Turn power of to the circuit at your breaker box to avoid killig yourself.
2) Remove the entire lighting assembly from the fan
3) Locate and remove the AC/DC converter (it's a little black box)
4) Hard wire 2 or 3 (I used 3) pre-wired chandelier sockets (in parallel) to the wires that previously powered the AC/DC converter.
5) Insert bulbs into sockets.
6) Tuck bulb/socket combinations into the glass globe.
7) Reattach the glob to the lamp.
8) Let there be light!

Place fan on high but it turns slowly

When I turn my ceiling fan on and place it on fast the fan continues to turn slow
