Attach Fluorescent Lights To Ceiling Fans

Fluorescent light can save you quite a bit of money on your energy bill.


CFL, or compact fluorescent light bulbs, are vastly more efficient than their counterpart, incandescent light bulbs. CFL bulbs use only 25 percent as much energy as an incandescent light bulb with identical wattage, produce 25 percent as much heat, and their usable life is close to 10 times as long, according to Energy Star. If you're trying to save on your energy bill, compact fluorescent light bulbs are a good idea. They can be used in the same way as incandescent light bulbs, including on ceiling fans.


Instructions


1. Turn the light bulb connected to the ceiling fan light fixture counterclockwise to remove it.


2. Attach your new fluorescent light bulb to your ceiling fan light fixture by positioning it on the threads and then turning it clockwise until it is snug. Do not overtighten it or it could break.


3. Turn on your ceiling fan.
