Over the summer I issued a challenge to the kids involving math. Each was offered certain incentives to finish a level of math work. Julian's prize was to be the coveted 44" Brushed Nickel Rocket Fan.
Julian threw himself into the work and finished it before summer ended. We bought the fan at Lowe's and installed it with much pomp and circumstance. It was so exciting and beautiful, with it's upper light projecting stars and moons on the walls of the room, with it's rocket lights flashing blue, red, green, with it's tiny astronaut and earth pull chains, with it's clear lucite fan blades.
But some time has gone by now and we are sick of NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE ANYTHING in Julian's room after dark. We've brought a few lamps into the room, sure. Some of them get super hot and scare me. Some of them get manhandled and yanked around the room. Some of them don't put off much light anyway. And then there's the camping lantern...
So tonight I emailed Harbor Breeze, a company that makes fans for Lowe's. (They also go by the name Hampton Bay, but those fans are sold through Home Depot.) I asked if they offer some sort of replacement kit for their enormous nite-lite.
It is kind of interesting to see a four-year-old try so hard for something, and be disappointed, and ask to have his plain white fan re-installed.
He's a bright kid. He needs a bright light.

I know it's been a while since you posted that, but i was wondering if you came up with some answer. We have the same problem with our lil' boy's fan too. The fan is awesome but the light simply sucks.
