It's quite annoying to flip on a light switch and have the light take between 2 and 3 seconds to actually turn on. I bought 6 of these fans and put them in every room our new house. Once power was turned on to the meter, I found this is the way all of the fans' lights work. So now we'll have to leave the light switch on, mount the fan remote next to the switch, and turn the light on using the remote. It's not a defective light. Every single one of the fans has the same delay.
