    Ceiling fan light takes about 1 second to turn on. Has anyone else had this problem?
    I have 3 Hampton bay ceiling fans two are 48inch and one is 52 inch. The two 48" fans light turns on as soon as the light switch is flipped. The 52" fan takes about one second. Once the light switch is turned on I can turn the light off at the fan and it turns off and on immediately. I checked all the wiring in the wall and they are fine. Did not find any loose wires. Also, took tried a new switch and same thing happened. I just wanted to see if there is anyone else that has had the same problem, and if there is a real concern.

    Thanks,

    When it comes to 52" fans I have had many problems with Hampton bay products with most being the motors in the fans. I will not purchase Hampton bay anymore.
