Ok. So over the past few days, I've been helping my sister and brother in law move into their brand new house and have helped them install 6 ceiling fans. No problems until we get to their master bedroom. We install the ceiling fan and notice that the lights take a second or two to kick on plus they appear to be dim. Fan works fine. We take down the ceiling fan and double check all of our connections. Everything appears fine. Try the light again and have the same problem.
We check out the manual but it's no help but does mention this power-limiting circuit thing where you can't use bulbs that total 190 watts or more otherwise the lights might appear dim. The fan came with 4 40watt bulbs, which is 160 watts so the bulbs shouldn't be the problem.
What's wrong? Could the power limiting circuit in the fan be bad? Could this have anything to do with the lights taking a second or two come one?
Found nothing online except talk about dimmer switches and remotes which they don't have. I'm assuming the unit is bad and will tell her to take it back to the store.
