    Not Enough Light
    My landlord installed a harbor breeze halston II ceiling fan and light in my kitchen. However I'm limited to three 40 watt candelabra light bulbs which does not give me enough illumunation. Is there anything I can do to get more light? Feels like I'm reading in the dark.

    Look on the side of the bulb holder or socket, it should tell you the maximum bulb size.

    Candelabra base CFLs, or replacing the sockets with medium base sockets.

    Sadly, all light kits on ceiling fans now use candelabra sockets. SUCKS.
