Default Buying universal light kit for ceiling fan

A few months ago I purchased a Hampton Bay ceiling fan from HD, only
the fan, no light.
Now I would like to add a light kit. I have seen light kits at HD made
by Hampton Bay, but not the kind I like.
I have seen other light kits I like that claim to be "universal" and
will fit any fan. Do these universal kits actually fit the fan good ?


** They pretty much fit any fan with a bottom junction box that has a 1/8"
threaded hole in the bottom. Depending upon the fixture, they usually fit in
a similar fashion to a fixture that would come with that type of fan.


buy one and try it, return it if it doesnt fit.

I had a hampton bay light that wasnt standard and finally cobbled
together a couple light kits to make one that fit
