    Hampton bay fan
    I have a new 52 inch hampton bay fan. It works fine but the lighting fixture gets so hot you can't hardly touch it. I installed the bulbs that it came with it almost smells like it is overheating the heat problem is just in the light fixture part of the unit

    I've heard many many examples of this question: "I just put in a Hampton Bay fan and the light smells like it is burning, and gets really hot, what do I do?" Frankly I've been clueless on this one but I've always said "Try running the light for a good few hours to see if it needs to 'burn in'. Keep a close eye on it in case something's wrong, but see if the smell goes away." I've never heard back from anyone after that, so I suppose that's been a satisfactory answer.

    If anyone has a better answer than that I'd love to know.. . But it seems to be an inherent problem with Hampton Bay fanlights.

Hampton Bay Fan [ 4 Answers ]

I purchased a Hampton bay fan with a light and remote control. The room previously had a fan without a light. The wall switch (two switches) controlled the fan while one switch did nothing.

I recently installed hampton bay fan, I am sure it was installed correctly. However its has a remote control and the only way I can get the fan to work is if I turn on the light, no light no fan. Therefore I can not run it at night. :( :(
