Re: I have this ceiling fan and the lights have started...
If this happens while it is rotating, it is likely that the inside wiring has come loose from the connections and it makes temporary contact on rotation.

If you are controlling it with a pull chain switch the switch is likely bad. If from a wall switch the wall switch may be bad or a wiring problem has grounded the light circuit. You probably need a handy man who does ceiling fans
great question. this kind of issue is generally a problematic lamp controller. Lamp controllers get "used to" the current over time. So if you have a certain milli amperage flowing across the lamp controller for X years, eventually the lamp controller gets used to that current
The below article is very good at describing how a lamp controller works:
How i fixed my Hunter #28096 remote controlled ceiling fan, started not controlling the light, then later the fan quit also. Start by testing the remote buttons, see this post... Cp9430r Fixya
The light on the remote is a battery light. First mistake was buying a store brand fan which are mostly low-end parts. Try adding a different remote w/receiver.
mcdevito75 here, Most likely yes, Check the fan by carefully turning it just a liitle by hand, also check for heat at the fan motor base, close to the ceiling. If heat or fan won"t start by hand, replace it.
You will most likely need to replace the receiver with a new one from hunter. The receiver is actually a complete controller and contains the receiver, relays (which you hear clicking) and starting condensors(large capacitors which hold a charge that is "dumped" over the windings to get the motor to start from a dead stop). These appear to be pretty tightly assembled unless you have a desire to start replacing parts "off the board."
