My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Rewiring/Modify Light Type in Ceiling Fan

15 years ago

We were able to get some very nice discontinued modern ceiling fans last week for a song.

However, I am not that happy with the light choice. This fan uses a 40watt Candelabra style bulb, and while I can change from incandescent to CFL I would like to go to LED or Halogen. I have at my disposal lots of electronic repair tools, SMT rework stations, and other equipment - so the actual modification and electrical work could be done.

I would love to put in the surface mount Commercial Lighting LED light innards inside the fan...rewiring it. Anyone see reasons why this wouldn't work if I can make it fit?
