Review on 🌀 Emerson CF144BS Curva Sky Ceiling Fan: Modern 44-Inch Blades, Brushed Steel Finish, Light & Remote Control Combo by Vera Lewis

I like the low ceiling design and the fan works well but the light was weak from day one and then suddenly got worse. When we attempted to replace the burned out bulb we found that none would screw in even though the manual said it was an E11 bulb. We tried 2 brands and thought it was something with threads. When I got close enough to look at the sockets, I saw a pin sticking out of the socket that should have fit into the damn lightbulb, which on closer inspection has a hole in the tip. There were no numbers or letters on the bulb, but it said ZE-11p on the base. A google search suggests "ze-11p bulb" as a search parameter, but I can't find anyone selling it. Carol Parts tech support didn't know what I was talking about and said they don't sell many bulbs because they only stock 11e. (Plus their lamps are $18, $12 please). I finally got the idea to check the bad reviews on amazon to see if anyone else has a solution and it seems like different sockets have been used over the years and some people are 11e-LED or 12e could use and one said it was G8. The best idea I can see is to have an electrician replace the outlets with something that is compatible with a regular lightbulb.
