How to upgrade from a candelabra to a standard base lightbulb

I am using this product in a way not intended by the manufacturer. Two of our Hunter ceiling fans came with chandelier size light fittings. They came with a set of Zing Ear 301d tips. We have ceiling fans and dimmer bulbs so there isn't a huge range of CFL bulbs. I tried using LED candelabra lights but they are too dim to light up the room. Using this kit, which comes with a set of Zing Ear 310d sockets for standard base lights, I was able to convert two of our fans to work with standard size LED bulbs and we are now getting plenty of light from our ceiling fans. Expensive upgrade but better than buying new fans. Don't attempt this unless you have some mechanical skill, you'll have to swap parts between the two bowl installers, but it's possible and everything will end up looking factory.

Pros
  • Beautiful thing
Cons
  • The list will be long.
