Hunter fans are back to taking the full size bulbs, also they elimated the limiter, and are including led bulbs, i bought a ridgefield that i flush mounted using a older hunter canopy, and i installed it in our living room using a swag kit, since there is no junction box, i screwed the fan directly to the joist using long wood screws, also the ridgefield now uses standard blade brackets instead of the five minute ones Attachment Deleted

I think essentially LED's have phased the candelabra/wattage limiter combo. LED's are definitely getting popular. Its amazing switching some of our flood lights to LED's how much energy I'm saving with the lighting being equivalent. The CFL ones were awful and had horrible reliability in my experience.

I've noticed medium-base sockets in fans are making a comeback lately Are you certain they've removed the wattage limiter, though? Some Hunters include a small, inline-fuse which is essentially serves the same purpose. Also, I take it all the splicing was done in the fan's canopy?

That would be nice, perhaps they're finally starting to listen to their customers and the outrage being had about finding replacement candelabra bulbs..
I will admit LED light bulbs have gotten better in more recent days, but I still refuse to use them.. They give me a headache.. I don't think they illuminate as well as the old-fashioned halogen flood lights do..

Yes the splices are in the canopy, also the wirenuts are wrapped with electrical tape, plus the cord is also wrapped with a layer of electrical tape where it leaves the fan, the fan is also plugged into a switched outlet, also i looked at the switch housing and i did not see anything that resembled the limiter, all i saw was the wires that connected to the light ran straight into the harness that connects to the motor
