Lamp Holder for Hampton Bay Counter Rotating Pilot Ceiling Fan

thingiverse

The Hampton Bay "Pilot" ceiling fan is shipped with a single Halogen light in the light kit. This is unpleasing in several ways. The light bulb is visible through the frosted glass. The light fixture generates heat. The light fixture will consume bulbs. This print allows replacing the Halogen bulb with three LED bulbs. I used SIMBA LED E11 8W 120V 3000K Dimmable bulbs obtained from Amazon. You will also need extra E11 sockets. I obtained these from Amazon as well, as none of the local stores had E11 (they are not "candelabra"). I cut the connectors on the supplied fixture off, and soldered all three LED sockets in parallel. This is 120V, so use good heat shrink, etc. The result is a pleasant, cool (physically cool, the LEDs are warm color temperature) light that shows three symmetric patterns through the frosted glass.
