I installed LED recessed fixtures last summer in my bedroom, what normally would required 600 watts of incandescent lighting, required 90 watts of LED lamps.

I used Phillips (made in China).

Here’s a link to Sylvania (USA???), make sure to note (very important)whether the lamp you want is dimmable or not, not all CFLs or LED lamps are.

Not sure if the Sylvania LEDs are US made or not but as an electrician I wouldn’t install anything except Phillips or Sylvania.

I prefer Sylvania because some people complain they hear buzzing from standard lamps when dimmed - Sylvania tend to run quieter than ALL others, again with incandescent lamps.

As I posted above, I know that only dimmable CFL bulbs worked with my Hunter fan remotes (and I think even with the pull chain Hunter fans I have). But I don't know if that "only dimmable bulbs" applies to LED lighting.

Does anyone know if I would have to use "only dimmable" LED bulbs in the Hunter ceiling fan, if I could use non-dimmable LED bulbs in the fan, or if LED bulbs would work at all? Thank you!!
