Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

Verify that the 12V power supply is active. Check that the bulb is correctly seated in the socket and is not burnt out. Ensure all wire connections to the cable set are secure and correct.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the power to your 12V low-voltage system is turned off before installation. Connect the wires from your existing 12V cable set to the corresponding terminals on the halogen socket. Insert a compatible G4, GX5.3, or G6.35 12V halogen bulb, ensuring it does not exceed the 75-watt maximum. Secure the socket into your recessed fixture.

Compatibility: This socket is designed for 12V low-voltage systems only. It supports halogen bulbs with G4, GX5.3, or G6.35 bases. Always verify that your existing cable set and power supply are rated for 12V and can handle the total wattage of the connected bulbs.

Care: Disconnect power before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the socket and surrounding area. Avoid using any liquids or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the electrical components. Ensure the socket is free from dust and debris to maintain optimal performance.
