Been reading and apparently a sign of this failing is lights blinking or just not turning on at all.

Thread:

Has anyone removed the wattage limiter in a ceiling fan light? - Raistlin 2017-07-09 22:17:09 (244 views)
- So here is the culprit, removed it and lights are working again and dimming. *Images fixed - Raistlin 2017-07-11 21:47:50 (284 views)
  - Free photobucket account = no pics we can see. - JimR 2017-07-13 13:02:37 (144 views)
    - It worked yesterday, let me figure out another service. - Raistlin 2017-07-13 19:12:54 (125 views)
      - I use them too. So far mine work. Let me know what you select - Reggie 2017-07-14 15:21:55 (121 views)
        
        I fixed images, going to try imgur as many people seem to like it. - Raistlin 2017-07-16 23:06:12 (110 views)

- Have you tried using a different brand of LED bulb? - 5speed6 2017-07-11 02:16:42 (145 views)
- Sounds like a bulb problem. First, check to make sure it is compatible - Wascally Wabbit 2017-07-10 11:28:32 (193 views)
  - Bulbs are dimmable and on Lutrons list of compatible bulbs for my dimmer. - Raistlin 2017-07-10 17:59:29 (163 views)
    - Yes but check with the fan mfr for compatible led bulbs - Reggie 2017-07-10 19:23:50 (195 views)
      - This should not matter, the light fixture is simply a wired light fixture. - Raistlin 2017-07-10 19:56:18 (166 views)
        
        What 5speed6 said. The garage door openers have list of LEDs that work - Reggie 2017-07-11 08:46:44 (157 views)
- Seems illogical - your LED bulbs are drawing far less wattage than the incandescent bulbs - Grapeking 2017-07-10 10:57:05 (177 views)
  - I haven't tried a lower wattage incandescent bulb, I know LEDs draw less power. - Raistlin 2017-07-10 18:05:32 (152 views)

  - Government regulation for ceiling fans to have a wattage limiter. - Raistlin 2017-07-10 18:19:59 (200 views)
    - Nothing like idiot bureaucrats creating needless complication in consumer products. - JimR 2017-07-11 10:25:39 (149 views)
  - Typically a "wattage limiter" is a fuse or circuit breaker - Wascally Wabbit 2017-07-10 11:27:18 (171 views)
