Troubleshooting
Bulb does not light up
Ensure the power is on, the bulb is screwed in correctly, and the E27 socket is functional. Try the bulb in a different fixture to rule out socket issues.
Bulb flickers when dimmed
This may indicate incompatibility with the dimmer switch. Ensure your dimmer is LED-compatible and rated appropriately. Try increasing the brightness level or testing with a different compatible dimmer.
Light appears too dim or too bright
Adjust the dimmer setting. If the bulb is not dimmable and you require less light, consider using it in a fixture with a shade that diffuses light or in a location where full brightness is acceptable.
