    Concord ceiling fan
    I just installed a Concord ceiling fan. It is in a older wired house. I wrote down how the other fan was wired. The fan I installed had a blue wire as well. After looking on line I believe it is hooked with the black wire coming out of fan. All is working well, except when I turn off lights one fluorescent flickers a little. When I remove it the other two start to flicker. When I put a normal bulb in the one I removed none of them flicker. Is it the fluorescent bulbs that cause it or is my wiring totally wrong? The fan is probably a 1996 fan that I took out of a place I used to live. Would the lighting system in this fan not support fluorescent bulbs? I know that is probably a stupid question, but scratching my head trying to figure it out.

    Are you talking about "CFL" bulbs?

    Thee do not behave well when used with ceiling fans.

    The light flickers after you turn it off? Is the switch for the light a dimmer switch?
