    Light attached to ceiling fan is delayed when you turn it on?
    New installation of fan with light kit. Fan works fine when you turn it on but when you turn on the light with the separate switch, the light is delayed in going on? What could be the problem?

    Is the light a compact fluorescent bulb? These start slow which could explain a short delay.

    How much of a delay, like Wally says a CFL could be delayed about 2 seconds.
