Troubleshooting
Bulb does not turn on.
Check that the bulb is securely screwed into the socket. Ensure the light switch is on and the power supply is active. Try the bulb in a different known working fixture to rule out a fixture issue.
Bulb flickers or buzzes when dimmed.
This usually indicates a dimmer compatibility issue. Ensure you are using an LED-rated trailing-edge dimmer. Check that the total wattage of the LED bulbs on the circuit falls within the dimmer's recommended range. Try adjusting the dimmer to a different setting (avoiding extreme low or high settings) or consult the dimmer manufacturer's compatibility list.
Bulb is not dimmable.
Verify that the bulb is installed in a circuit controlled by a compatible LED dimmer. If using in a non-dimmable fixture, the bulb will operate at full brightness. Ensure the dimmer is switched on and set to a suitable level.
Inconsistent light output.
Ensure the bulb is properly seated in the socket. Check for any loose wiring in the fixture. If flickering persists on a dimmer, refer to the 'Bulb flickers or buzzes when dimmed' solution.
