Do these work in a ceiling fan that requires CA-type bulbs, rather than B or E type?

If you have standard size light bulbs in your ceiling fan this will not work because they have a much smaller socket. I use them in my sons night lights

I don't know the technical name or type of the bulbs, but my husband just went to home depot and got chandelier bulbs and they work great. He bought the candle shaped ones (the flames) but I think next time I would prefer round. It's a great chandelier!

Pretty sure they fit on an A15 fan bulb, so in between the ones you mentioned.

Uses the little fan style bulbs. Make sure there not energy efficient. I tried energy efficient ones and twouldn't work for some reason

Sure. Mine are in recessed ceiling fixtures and work fine. Keep in mind this type of light produces like one-tenth the heat of an old-fashioned incandescent bulb. That's why it is so energy-efficient- minimal energy lost as heat.

I believe that B shaped light bulbs like the bulbs in a chandelier have smaller bases. Therefore a A19 bulb like this one would not be able to screw into the B type fixture. Home Depot has a pretty good description of bulbs http://ext.homedepot.com/shopping-tools/light-bulbs/bulbbasics.html

I would avoid this bulb. I purchased 6 to use in ceiling fans throughout my house. Within one month time all 6 had quit working. They are about the size of a standard bulb and screw into a standard bulb socket. Hope that helps

I am using mine in a ceiling fan (the fixtures are not fully enclosed, they are the bell-shaped type that are open on one end) and they are fine. I also am using one in an open in-ceiling can fixture, for downlighting. They are great and very bright. The only annoyance I have noticed is that sometimes one of the bulbs emits a high pitched buzz. It doesn't happen all the time and I've not diagnosed the cause. Overall, I'm thrilled with these bulbs, though. They are VERY bright for 9 watts.I have had no problems with ghosting at all.

I only used them on led and cfl bulbs. I don't know! Don't use them on ceiling fans!

I don't see why they couldn't go in a ceiling fan, but they are big bulbs and you'd want to be sure any decorative coverings (shades, glass) would fit over them. That said, they are nice enough to use by themselves.

I use them in fan lights base up without problems, to my knowledge. I also use them in outdoor fixtures with base down.

You'll need to read the specs. The difference may be that you can only use flourescent bulbs vs. regular bulbs.

The bulb is lamp specific.They can only be used in a lamp that requires tht model bulb.

It does use the candelabra bulbs. Most current ceiling fans with lights use these bulbs now, to get around the phasing out of standard incandescent bulbs.

They should. Find out what light bulbs go into that housing and that should tell you the bulbs you need.

No... I don't know how hard they are to find, but these are NOT normal CFL bulbs; instead of screwing in they have two "pins" (from the installation instructions, page 14, "This is a pin type lamp base...."), part number FFV3420067S (google it to see).

By standard house bulbs I assume you mean tungsten, incandescent bulbs. I have not tried them but they certainly should work.
