I went to Lowe's with the light bulb in hand, and they told me I need to purchase them from a specialty lighting store. If you get the ones that happen to fit them from local hardware stores (light Lowe's and Home Depot) they will burn out - I've had the same problem.

Read the manual to find out which size bulbs (base size and wattage) you need.

If you did use the right type of bulb and it lasted only 2 weeks, take them back to the store where you boght them for a refund.

    Moral of the story: Keep your boxes for at least a few weeks. My wife has ingrained that in my grain, and yes it pays to do so.

    Give me the model number of your product and I think I can find it for you.

Can I replace the 13 watt CFL bulbs in my fan light fixture with a higher watt bulb

The bulb fixture itself should tell you what the max wattage is that you can put in there but they are normally at a 60watt limit.

I am having issues getting bulbs due to the base size. It is in between a reg light base for standard bulb and the small base used for decorative lighting. The base is approx. size of a dime (Hampton Bay...

They actually have bulbs that are just made for ceiling fans, but can also be used for other things as well. You can get these bulbs at Home Depot, Lowes, etc. You might bring the bulbs with you if possible as sometimes it can get confusing after looking at twenty different designs. Hope this helps.

Light kit has light bulb size that I cannot find bulbs for

Melanie, you must have gotten a bad batch of bulbs. I have installed over 100 Hampton Bay ceiling fans and I have dropped them from up the ladder and have them bounce across the floor with no damage. I think they must have allowed a substandard batch to go out.

Home Depot is where I buy my replacement bulbs. Hampton Bay make fans exclusively for HD.

You can easily change lighting bases, as the wiring is the same for all Hampton Bay. You may even appeal to Hampton Bay on the internet and they might send you the kits. But I don't think you'd have success in a store.

If you try replacing them with bulbs from another Home Depot you may find them much hardier. I wish you the best of luck, and if you need additional help please write back.

Hampton Bay Ceiling Fan Plastic Burning Smell

I think you have already figured out what the problem most likely is; 60 watt bulbs. Down-size the wattage or install 'energy saver' bulbs if they will fit the application. Instead of counting on these units for extra lighting, perhaps think about Track lighting to fill in those ares that need more but subtle light.
Good luck. :)

Palm beach 48"

Me too. I went back to Home Depot. They gave to me the phone number for Hampton Bay - 1-877-527-0313. I will call them tomorrow after they open to see what the deal is. it looks to me like the JDE11 is a mini-candelabra base. The lady in the fans at Home Depot said that all of the light kits were changing to the smaller based halogen lights. BUT, you'd think that they'd carry the light bulbs that have to go in the light kits they sell!!!

Hampton Bay ceiling fan with pull chains not working

Whether there is a reset switch on this unit or not would depend on the model. If you no longer have the owners manual you should be able to get it from the hampton web site. Many fans have a thermal fuse inline that probably was blown when the bulb broke. The cheaper models do not and then I would guess you burned out the switch.
