Ok....getting away from vaping stuff for a minute...I have a ceiling fan in my kitchen that has the light kit attached to the fan itself. For the past month, the only way to get the light to come in is to fiddle with the bulb. I've been waiting to come home to a burned down house. 
So this morning, I went to Lowes to see about a light to put in the kitchen. Low and behold, there's a ceiling fan, light kit sitting there for $29.98. Perfect size and everything!! Now....guys...are ceiling fans hard to install?

Since the thread is 'Air Fans", we'll let you slide.Ok....getting away from vaping stuff for a minute...I have a ceiling fan in my kitchen that has the light kit attached to the fan itself.

It depends on what you're doing... changing the light kit or replacing the whole fan with light kit. For me - no, but it depends on how much experience you have. If you're going to replace the whole thing, it will be more involved. If you're just going to replace the light kit (as long as it's a universal kit and it's going to line up to the old fan), it shouldn't be that difficult. If it's the lighting that is faulty (maybe a loose wire or worn out light fixture), I'd grab just a light kit and just replace that.

If the junction box and wiring are already in place (I assume they are since you already have one installed), it's a 30 min job; easy-peezy. Check online for the instruction manual before you buy the unit. The directions are usually pretty good and will tell you what you're getting into before you get into it...
It should involve turning some screws and a couple of wire nuts...
Oo-o-oh, could you keep your eye open for a Gillette fat boy or Schick Krona Double edge razor? Need the Fat Boy for my collection
Sorry, Cheech!
But I got a spice organizer for my juice shelf and a chocolate tin to store my rebuilding gear, decorated with a little Renoir.
Also Lynn, if the bulb is acting up, shut the power breaker off and take the bulb out and look at the inside center of the fixture. There's a small square brass or copper 'lead' inside the socket (in the center). Make sure it's making contact with the center of the bulb. I usually use a little screw driver to pry it up a little bit. Did you change the bulb on there. Could be just a bad bulb?

The light kit came on the fan when we bought it about 15 years ago. It's not replaceable except by replacing the whole thing. And I have no experience doing this whatsoever! Lol
Yep! It's just a question of taking down the old fan and putting up the new one.
This bulb is one of those fluorescent ones and I tried another bulb but had to do the same thing. It was to be wiggled, turned, loosened and tightened. And the whole assembly is loose.
Ballasts go bad in those type of fixtures but I never heard of a ceiling fan with that type of fixture in it unless your talking about the newer CFL's (Compact Fluorescent bulb)?

Half the battle is as previously stated, the junction box is stabilized for a fan, rest is easy!Ok....getting away from vaping stuff for a minute...I have a ceiling fan in my kitchen that has the light kit attached to the fan itself.

Particularly for someone who winds their own coils...If the fan works great, i would see if you can find a matching light kit and replace that.
Might find the loose connection (probably at the wire nut connections) and fix it.
Oops, replacing is relatively easy, go slow, shut off the breaker and read the instructions!
Google fan replacement and watch the videos...they make it look easy!
Glad you found treasures! Even if it wasn't a Gillette Fat Boy...Sorry, Cheech!

I'm conversating at the moment to help her. Wish we were closer or I'd just go over and fix it for her.
Thanks IMRs! You're so sweet!!
But, as I told IMRs in our conversation, the fan will have to be replaced. I CAN do this!! I'll just keep repeating this!

You're quite welcome Lynn. We're all in this together. You can provide the kind word and encouragement...I'm conversating at the moment to help her. Wish we were closer or I'd just go over and fix it for her.

Yes you can!
Your girly girl credentials are in order.
Now, pretty please find one of these for the Zen Coilmaster.
Hmmmmm...Renoir? Gillette. Are the
Not that anyone should care, but the adopted cat does indeed have three—count em!—functional legs, an enormous number of toes, a sweet disposition, and an aptitude for languages. Being addressed in British English, Murkin, and português brasileiro didn't phase it a bit. It's hiding under my chest of drawers. Her name was/is Kotori or Katori or Kotari.

I'll make sure to get there earlier next year!
I'm gonna go start reading one of the girly girl books I bought:
My dad had a razor just like that one!! It's long gone!
Gran, I had a cat that had 6 toes on each front foot and one foot had a claw that grew in between the toes that I had to keep clipped. She loved Doritos.

And...just so I keep you updated...the old fan is down! Getting ready to put the new one up in a second. Boy is it hot up there!!
