Where to Buy Hampton Bay Ceiling Fan Light Bulbs
First step: FIND your HAMPTON BAY ceiling fan bulb size
The first step in finding the correct light bulb for your Hampton Bay ceiling fan is to measure the base of the bulb you are replacing. After the correct size is determined you can follow the light bulb recommendations below.
Second Step: Pick the correct sized lights
We recommend that you check your owner's manual or manufacturer specifications when purchasing new light bulbs. Many Hampton Bay ceiling fan light kits have a 60W or 40W max output, so the recommendations below do not exceed those specifications. Base size is also important so make sure you have measured your current light bulb base to make sure it's the correct size (use the chart above).
Medium Base - SATCO 9W Mini CFL Light Bulbs
If your Hampton Bay ceiling fan light kit originally included CFL bulbs and you would like to do an even replacement then we recommend these Satco Mini CFL bulbs.
Each 9W bulb will provide 550 lumens of lighting making these ideal for Hampton Bay ceiling fan light kits that require more than one bulb. If you would like to go even brighter you can also upgrade to 15W mini CFL bulbs.
It's important that you first measure your current CFL bulbs to make sure they are medium base before purchasing these! If they are smaller, you may need intermediate or candelabra base bulbs instead. Use the chart at the top of the page to match your bulbs to the correct size.
Make the upgrade to LED
Most Hampton Bay ceiling fans include 14 watt CFL bulbs in their light kits. However, CFL bulbs are an older design that may no longer be readily available in stores when the time comes to replace or upgrade. Finding CFL bulbs in your needed size may come as a challenge as this bulb type is being replaced with more current energy efficient designs. The great news is that lamp technology has taken a great leap forward and introduced better energy efficient LED lamp designs that will work seamlessly with your Hampton Bay ceiling fan.
It is encouraged to replace your current CFL bulbs with high quality LED bulbs like the ones recommended here. Those using traditional incandescent bulbs will also see a cost and energy saving benefit by switching to LED bulbs in their Hampton Bay ceiling fans.
