Awesome fan for a theme I am working on, the lighting though...

12 years ago

It says 40W Incandescent bulbs, but will it take CFLs or LEDs with the proper base?

Hi Daniel, Theoretically, if the CFLs or LEDs are T3 type lamp with candelabra base (E12), then it should work. However, I would not consider CFLs because they are not dimmable. For LEDs, our vendor Kichler can not guarantee if the LEDs you purchase can be dimmable with this light kit. They have only tested with incandescent lamps. Please also keep in mind that we were told by Kichler, if the LEDs lamp somehow overheats and burns out the sockets, then the fan warranty will not be honored. Thanks!

Hello,

CFLs are not dimmable, so I would not recommend that. Most of these manufacturers test their fixtures with incandescent bulbs so we could not guarantee LEDs will be compatible. Please note that if an LED bulb happens to overheat/blow out a socket, the warranty will not be honored. Thank you for your interest!
