Sidewinder Ceiling Fan Assembly Instructions
For full details of the Hampton Bay Sidewinder Ceiling Fan Assembly instructions you can download the manual below.
We have covered a few issues in this article such as ‘How to Change the Bulb’ and ‘Where to Get Replacement Glass’.
How to Change Hampton Bay Sidewinder Light Bulb
The lightbulb cover appears complex with three metal fins holding it in place.
By its appearance, it might appear you need to release the fins somehow to remove the cover.
You might also wonder if you might need to loosen side screws or remove a lever to release the glass.
However, when inspecting the covers design you will see that it is a single assembly, made of metal and glass with 3 outer pins allowing it to be screwed into the base of the ceiling fan.
The instructions also show that a user simply needs to screw in the assembly clockwise to install.
So removing it is just the reverse by unscrewing it counterclockwise.
The bulb you will need is a 100 Watt halogen which you can pick up from any Home Depot store.
Always remember to wear gloves when installing a new halogen bulb. The oil from bare fingers will otherwise make hotspots on the bulb which will dramatically shorten its life.
Once your bulb is installed simply replace the cover by screwing it in clockwise.

Hampton Bay Sidewinder Ceiling Fan Review
With 440 customer reviews, the Sidewinder Ceiling Fan received a total of 4.3 stars out of 5 stars, with 83% recommending this ceiling fan.
I can say that I absolutely LOVE this Hampton Bay ceiling fan.
Because the ceiling fan wasn’t on display I was a little hesitant as to what it would look like. After only viewing it online I took a chance and went ahead and purchased it.
My main concern was that it might look “cheap” with the silver blades.
However, after receiving the Sidewinder ceiling fan and installing it, it looked expensive and very trendy. Which was what I was wanting!
The Hampton Bay Sidewinder Ceiling Fan works extremely well and looks very stylish!
The only thing that I have noticed is that if you have more than one Hampton Bay fan that needs a remote control, then you will need to make sure you change the settings in the sensor that’s inserted in the top of the fan.
This ceiling fan is just so pretty against the dark grey walls and the light grey carpet.
The fan motor is very quiet and the air movement is extremely good, which is why you buy a ceiling fan for. The only thing I would have liked more is for the light to be brighter, however, it is adequate.
Overall this is a good ceiling fan and I would buy another again.
A few of the concerns and problems that customers have experienced with this ceiling fan are quality issues. The light turning on at random times along with the fan switching itself on.
Broken pieces due to shipping and transit, which can happen with any item. If this is your concern then check back with the store you bought the item from for any damaged part replacement.
