Ceiling fan works but not the lights diagnosing the problem wattage limiter/switch & repairing it

AS WITH ALL MY VIDEOS I TRY TO GIVE THE MOST INFORMATION IN THE LEAST AMOUNT OF TIME AS POSSIBLE SO I DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME. IN THIS VIDEO GO OVER HOW TO DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM AND REPAIR A CEILING FAN LIGHT FIXTURE THAT IS NOT WORKING BUT THE FAN DOES. I EXPLAIN HOW TO DISSASEMBLE THE TWO MAIN STYLE OF CEILING FAN LIGHT FIXTURES, HOW TO CHECK TO SEE IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM IN THE WIRING IN YOUR HOUSE, HOW TO CHECK THE LIGHT SWITCH ON THE LIGHT FIXTURE AND REPLACE IT IF NECESSARY, HOW TO CHECK THE WATTAGE LIMITER IF YOUR FAN HAS ONE AND REPLACE IT OR BYPASS IT IF YOU CHOOSE ALONG WITH AN EXPLANATION OF WHAT THE PURPOSE OF A WATTAGE LIMITER IS.

This is absolutely the best explanation on the whole entire internet of how to test & repair a bad ceiling fan light & what’s going on with the government mandated wattage limiters (trust me, I’ve been watching videos & reading for hours.) Thank you!

[@pkostoulas]

Probably the best video I have seen on this topic. Thank you!

[@angelt3004]

I watched a couple videos to figure out my problem but yours was thorough enough to give me the confidence to solve it. Thank you!

Thank you for this great tutorial! Our fan's lights are nice and bright again!

Excellent job of explaining this problem. Thank you for the video.

Came across this after I troubleshot this exact problem and was looking to buy a new wattage limiter. After reading up a bit about it and the reason for them (EPA regulations), I agree with just removing it and going with LED’s. Thanks for the great explanation, wish I saw this video before troubleshooting.

Thank you , you helped me solve my lighting problem

Very helpful video Dan! My Hunter fan seems to be a strange one, there seems to be no limiter (just the two capacitors for the fan)...worked great for the 2 years we have lived here, and the fan still works, but the lights will only blink on and off continually. Does anyone have any idea what would make the lights do this continual off/on blink if there is no limiter (doesn't matter if LED or incandescent). Is it possible Hunter hid a limiter somewhere that is not accessable? Thank you for any help!

Last night I was changing the bulb and the bulb is bad and it burned out it caused my whole light kit to go out I guess it was the regulator. The fan still work. I disconnected something where the fans not working now

[@derekmatthews3714]

Is a wattage limiter the same thing as a capacitor?

[@diydan7019]

No two different things

[@derekmatthews3714]

@@diydan7019 thanks! I have a hunter fan that has two switches. All the LED bulbs stopped working, changed bulbs but no change. Fan works though

[@mzunnurain]

​@@derekmatthews3714did you watch the video? Do you have a multimeter or a bulb or pen tester? You'll want to test the blue wire connections.

​@@derekmatthews3714 have the same issue. I found that the problem is with the bulb socket. The small part that is to make contact with the bulb lies flat. Has no memory to stay flexed against the bulb. No contact. No light. You can replace the bulb socket.

My wattage limiter appears to be inside of the remote control unit :(
