What could cause my ceiling fan light to go off after 2 seconds of being on?

Question

The light in my Harbor Breeze ceiling fan stays lit for only 2 seconds. Otherwise the unit works great. What do I need to do to fix this issue?

The bulb wattage is too high. Try moving the wattages down a notch and this should alleviate the problem.

I came here after just having this problem. Mine was a bit sillier: the light bulb I was using has an automatic sensor that shuts the bulb off in the presence of light. You know, to be economic if you leave the light on.

The light on my Hampton Bay fan would come on for 2 seconds, then shut off. After uninstalling the remote receiver the light worked perfectly. I don't have a remote anymore but that's ok.
