Hi there,

Three possibility for the strobe problem:
1. Loose wire connection. Shut down the circuit breaker, pull down the switch, open the ceiling fan cover and check for any loose wiring connected to the main bulb, If there isnt any, remove the bulb and spray WD-40 or contact cleaner to the receptacle. Replace the bulb.

2. Replace the bulb with a new one. Preferably incandescent or a warm white energy saver.

3. There maybe ghosts fooling around. (I'm kidding)

Hope this helps,
levibit

Remove light governor

I installed my Hunter Ceiling Fan a little over a year ago. A few nights ago my wife told me the lights in the ceiling fan blinked a few times when she turned it on. Over the next few day the problem got much worse. When I turned on the light switch, the lights would not turn on. After a few minutes the lights would begin to flash, like a strobe light. This flashing would last for about a minute.
This morning I removed the light kit. I noticed the watt regulator, part 98480-02. I connected the wires directly that were wired through the regulator. So far, the light now works fine!

My celing fan light just went off and was extremely hot

Check its coil (winding). Its must have burnt out. You might require rewinding.

Lights - all 4 of them - in light kit flash strobe-like when light is turned on. fan and light kit installed 15 months ago and worked flawlessly until. Have already tried replacing all bulbs.

remove the watt governor for lights ( little black box ) and wire the lights direct. remove the black box. have a good day !! this should fix problem.

My craftmade celing fans/lights start strobing

SOunds to me like you have a bad wiring connection in the fan unit, have someone check out all the connections, both between the fan and ceiling and the fan and light unit.
