We were changing out lighr blubs on my ceiling fan and now I can't get the remote to turn the lights off, they just stay on. The fan controls on the remote works fine. Am I doomed to be in the light all the time?

I just installed one. Follow distructions, very important..
Make sure the correct wire is connect to lights (usually black with white stripe.
Make sure control switches in remote and lamp/fan match..
Ck switch on light, make sure its on...
Last hold the button down on the remote for a 1-2 count...

Hope this helps...
