Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward as this bulb uses the standard E27 Edison screw base. Simply ensure the power to your fixture is switched off before inserting the bulb into the socket and turning it clockwise until secure. This bulb is designed for 230V AC systems (50-60 Hz). To maintain the bulb's lifespan, avoid using it in completely enclosed, unventilated fixtures, as excessive heat buildup can reduce its performance. If using with a dimmer, verify that your switch is compatible with LED loads to prevent flickering or buzzing. Keep the glass surface clean by wiping it gently with a dry, soft cloth if necessary.
