    I have a flickering light when I turn off the light on my Hampton Bay Fan.
    I installed a new CFL lightbulb, when I turned on the light I heard a pop and smelled something nasty. Afterwards when I turned off the light all the left over light bulbs constantly flicker. They turn on OK but only flicker when I turn them off. By turning off I mean with the remote, but leaving the wall switch on. When I turn off the wall switch they are all off. I was wondering if there was a way to fix the lights.

    You can't use CFLs in a remote fan.
