I have one of those hampton bay fans with the stupid A15 intermediate base bulbs, I can only find bulbs like this that are for appliances like microwaves locally. There was a thread for this same question and it looks like the guy found a solution but the link was removed here's that thread https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/electrical-lighting/convert-a15-intermediate-socket-a19-standard-socket-231481.html anyone know where I can find a conversion socket?
