    Hunter Fan Light flickering and too dim
    I bought a fan/light combo and the fan works great (including remote control operation of the fan). The light is WAY too dim for a living room and the candelabra lights in it are flickering lightly (like a club atmosphere - LOL). I have two questions:
    What is causing the flickering? And is there an add-on kit to boost the lighting? Help - I'm tired of my dark living room. Thanks.

    Are you using CFL bulbs?

    Yes, I am using compact fluorescent bulbs. It uses small candelabra size bulbs, so the best light choice I had was to buy CFLs. It's still too dim. Do you have any suggestions?

    Did you install CFL that can be dimmed, your remote has dimmer capabilities and should not use standard CFLs. You may also have a loose blue wire coming from the receiver or a loose white neutral, lets be sure you have thecorrect bulbs before we taer into anything.

    Try non CFL bulbs.
