Troubleshooting

Light bulb does not turn on

Check that the power is switched on at the breaker. Ensure the bulb is correctly seated in the socket. Verify the bulb is functional by testing it in another compatible fixture. Confirm the wiring connections to the socket adapter are secure.

Socket adapter feels loose

Ensure the adapter is properly secured within the fixture housing. Check that any retaining clips or screws are tightened. If the issue persists, the fixture itself may need repair or replacement.

Overheating or burning smell

Immediately turn off power. This could indicate an incompatible bulb wattage, a loose connection, or a faulty adapter. Inspect the adapter and bulb. Ensure the bulb's wattage does not exceed the fixture's maximum rating. Replace the adapter if it shows signs of damage.
