Can't find C26-type lightbulb for ceiling fan fixture

Have you tried an electrical supply store?

If you saved the owners manual, you might be able to call the manufacturer for clues--or even order from them.

What the fixture manufacturer's name and the model number of the fixture you have?

Hello again and thanks for responding to my query.
In response to your questions: I emailed the manufacturer of the ceiling fan for advice and they never responded. For reference, the manufacturer is Monte Carlo, and model number is 227892.
Thanks.

Dandydee--

Lousy customer service is maddening.

The model number you gave doesn't come up with anything on their WWW site.

You might do better just calling them:

I bought the fan from Lowe's about a year ago. I checked the manufacturer's website several months ago and even then the product was not listed on the site. An old model? Funny that Lowe's sells the fan but doesn't even sell replacement bulbs! Thanks for the suggestions.

There really isn't any such lamp as a C26, at least not in the US. The fan is undoubtedly made in an Asian country, probably China. How many light fixtures are incorporated into the ceiling fan?

Hi,
I was never able to track down a bulb that was specifically called a "c26" (as one poster said, it may not exist). However, I did find a bulb that works at www.lightbulbsrus.com . It wasn't listed on their website. I tracked it down by emailing them. For reference, the replacement bulb (i.e., the glass part of it) has the same diameter as the old bulb I pulled out of the ceiling fan. The length of the replacement bulb is a bit longer than the old one, but is not a problem. The diameter was the limiting factor. When I tried to use a bulb with a larger diameter, the bulb would bump up against some metal in the housing. This narrower bulb does not.

Thanks again for the suggestions.

Great! I had a notion of what the lamp was that you needed. There's also Light Bulbs Unlimited in the Orange County area and they do have a Website and ship. I use them if I don't have large quantities to order for projects.

I know who has this bulb
This bulb is available at www.lightbbulbsrus.com here is the link to that bulb http://www.lightbulbsrus.com/user/category.php?catid=58&start=37

same problem, bought brand new montecarlo ceiling fan on overstock.com. no bulbs with mc16 lighting kit. (b) type candleabra bulbs hit glass. $400.00 fan, will buy hunter @ store next time for 1/4 the price.
