Hunter 27218 White Energy Efficient Low Profile Light Kit

Comment: Bought 3 of these lights to go on Hunter fans. They work ok and I like the way they look. The light the 22-watt compact fluorescent bulb produces seems weird in the rooms we have them in (2 bedrooms and a small den) . Maybe just a litte too bright. Looked for a bulb with less wattage, doesn't seem like any available.

Comment: This light is great, except for the design. If you intend on using the pull chain to turn the light on and off, the way it's designed, it will wear the paint off the light fixture in short order, unless you're willing to lift the chain way up and pull it straight out. Other than that design flaw, the light works great, throws good light evenly. They should require the engineers who design these things to use them in real life before they sell them.

Comment: I ordered 2 of these light kits. First one arrived and the Hunter box packed inside had been previously opened. Fortunatly all the parts were there and intact. Installed both lights without incident. Plan on eventually getting 3 more for the rest of my ceiling fans.

This is also an excellent price from Amazon. Many company's are selling the exact same light kit for well over $100.00.

Comment: I bought this as a replacement for an existing fan that had finally
quit. The orginal fan was suspended from a rod and as the room it was in
was conventional height, it stuck down into the room. When I bought this
fan I was looking for one that was 'closer' to the ceiling. This fan fulfilled that requirement and was a cinch to install. I bought this light kit to go with the fan and it is as compact as one could make.

Comment: Despite the sketchy instructions, the light kit was easy to install on a Hunter fan that I purchased locally. My guess is that people with little experience with wiring and light fixture installation may need some help from someone who is handy. When I installed the fan I did end up calling Hunter's help line with a wiring question. I was on hold for a long time, but when I did get through, the agent was helpful and knowledgeable. Don't forget that there is a pull-chain switch on the fan itself. I turned on the light at the wall switch, and for a few minutes could not figure out why it didn't work.
