Ceiling fan lights...easy change 120W down to 30W



With a friend coming to visit, it's time to move the ladder from the upstairs spare bedroom down to the garage. But first, better check what's hiding in the ceiling fan light fixture. I set the ladder up and remove the one decorative screw thingy that holds the fixture up and discover (not surprisingly) two 60-watt incandescent light bulbs. I put two 15-watt CFLs in and we're good to go. That entire process, including taking the ladder downstairs, took less than 10 minutes. How long did I put that off? We moved in in August...

Now I'm off to jump on the trampoline with my nephew!

If you use the fan much, make sure it is well balanced. CFLs die quickly if they have to deal with much vibration.
