Troubleshooting
Bulb does not turn on.
Check that the power supply to the fixture is on. Ensure the bulb is correctly screwed into the E14 socket. Verify that the fixture is not controlled by a dimmer switch, as this bulb is non-dimmable.
Flickering light.
Ensure the bulb is fully screwed into the socket. If the fixture is connected to a dimmer, replace the dimmer with a standard on/off switch. Check for loose wiring in the fixture.
Short bulb lifespan.
Confirm the bulb is not being used with a dimmer switch. Ensure the fixture is not prone to power surges. Make sure the bulb is not overheating due to being enclosed in a very small, poorly ventilated fixture.
