In such a situation, the replacement of blade arms should be made immediately.

HamptonBay provides a range of ceiling fan replacement parts. You must make a few measurements before choosing an accurate blade arm for your fan.

First, measure the span of the blade, or for this purpose, measure the blade from one tip to the opposite blade.
Then, measure the blade’s pitch. Experts suggest a pitch of 12-15 degrees as accurate.
The blade arm is a part that has to match exactly to the other fan blades. Ensure the blade arms are perfect fit for blades for proper balance.

Light Kits

The ceiling fan light kit provides a centralized lighting system. It works as a unit with ceiling fans. These kits also incorporate modern technology to adjust the light brightness and dimming. They bring a touch of modern elegance to any room. Different types of HamptonBay light kits are available.

Standard light kit:

A standard light includes light fixtures, shades, bulbs, and necessary hardware components, including wiring, mounting hardware, and adapters.

The light fixture is directly attached to the ceiling fan. This part acts as the house of bulbs for light kits. Electrical connections are also connected to light fixtures. The finishing material for light fixtures is usually white, brushed Nickel, or bronze in color.

Inside light fixtures are light globes that house light bulbs. The light globes diffuse light to provide a soft illumination. The case of light globes is made of glass or plastic embedded with intricate designs.
Mounting Hardware is a set of components that attach a light kit with a fan. This hardware includes screws and mounting plates for attachments. It also includes lock washers that provide stability to the light kit.
Wiring is integrated to provide electrical connections once the light kit is attached to the ceiling fan. Wiring is also used for plug-and-play installation.
