Hi,

I'm looking at a ceiling fan that can take "(3) 40W 110V candelabra base
(E12)".

With modern light bulbs (CFL or LED) how much light will I actually be
able to get out of it?

Many thanks in advance,

Sam

I'm guessing 12 bushels. But if you don't like my guess, there are
approximately 1 billion resources on the web for you to figure that out.
Sounds like a science homework question that you're disinclined to
research on your own.

Not at all. Need to order a ceiling fan before noon today so looking for
a quick answer.

I would say go for medium base AKA E26, 13-watt bare spiral tubing CFL.

I have years of experience with that being OK. Looking close to 800
lumens from each 13 watt spiral CFL.
