The product, in the report: Hunter, “Lancaster” 54” ceiling fan. Antique black and cherry finish with 5 cherry veneer blades, 4-light Kraft shade diffuser light kit. Manufactured approx. 2005. Hunter website: www.hunterfan.com
I have a Hunter ceiling fan: Model #25658 (The Lancaster). It was sold through Lowe’s (their item #14651).
The light kit comes with 4 Kraft paper shades that over time have basically been toasted by the heat from the light bulbs. Recently I have become concerned that this is a potential fire hazard. I have also had to remove one of the shades since it has come apart at the top and it is in danger of coming into direct contact with the bulb.
I have tried contacting Hunter about this directly, and I have received no response from them. A search on the internet has revealed that others have experienced the same problem, and that Hunter was not helpful about correcting it.
The shades are uniquely designed; they are secured to each light socket with a screw-on locking ring. I have tried replacing them with glass shades, but the locking ring does not allow for a traditional glass shade to be securely fastened (at least the ones that I have tried). This is also a safety issue since this is a ceiling fan and subject to vibrations.
I would like to see Hunter replace the shades with ones that will tolerate the heat from the bulbs, and that can be securely fastened to each light. I believe that this is a basic design flaw in the product.
