    Is it the light that wobbles or the entire fan, usually the fan wobbles and the light goes with it. You may have a blade out of balance or a blade becoming warped. If the fan wobbles try adding a weight from a balancing kit, just follow the instructions that come with the kit. It is founding the same aisle as the fans and down rods at the store.

    If the fixture is wobbly, it can be tightened. What kind of fixture is it? A picture would help.
