Harbor Breeze Bulb Compatibility Lookup Card & QR System

A laminated reference card (business-card sized, wallet-friendly) that homeowners keep near their fixture. It displays Harbor Breeze fixture model numbers, socket types, wattage limits, and dimming compatibility in a quick-lookup table. A QR code links to a real-time compatibility database showing current replacement bulb SKUs and retailer links. Cards are model-specific (one per Harbor Breeze fan/fixture type) and updated quarterly as bulbs are discontinued/replaced.

Original Problem

Finding compatible replacement bulbs for discontinued smart home lighting fixtures

Homeowners with Harbor Breeze ceiling fans and dimmable light fixtures struggle to find compatible replacement bulbs when originals fail or become unavailable. Current solutions require extensive research across multiple retailers, forums, and manufacturer contacts, with no centralized compatibility database. People waste hours troubleshooting specifications, wattage, dimming compatibility, and socket types before discovering replacements don't work with their existing fixtures.
