The blinking is caused by the watt governor to lights( its a small black box with slots in it ). just remove this box and wire direct. this should fix problem.
Thanks! This worked for me - I just removed and bypassed the box. Any safety issues with doing this?

no safety problems. it should work just fine.
Thanks, this worked for me too.
Thank you Carl! I was going to open one up anyway and now you've made it easier.

Had this problem and removed the black box (w/slots) and the light works and is somewhat brighter now. Figured the worst that can happen is we burn out the bulbs faster maybe.
Or, Fritz, you could put in higher wattage bulbs and burn down your house. I think candelabras come in 60W and the Hunter fans I have are labelled for 40W. For $3 at Amazon, you can get adapters so you can screw-in 100-watters. Only an idiot would do such things, and thankfully US & UK have laws to protect their idiots.
Actually Fritz, the worst thing that could happen is that some idiot could remove the watt govenenor then install 4 candelabra to medium base adapters and 100W standard bulbs. (Adapters $3 from Amazon, etc.) Thankfully, in the US & UK, we have governments to protect idiots -- and make a lot of trouble for the rest of us.
