Troubleshooting
Spotlight not turning on
Verify that the power supply is connected and switched on. Ensure bulbs are correctly installed in the GU10 sockets and are functioning. Check the circuit breaker.
One or more bulbs are not working
Remove and reinsert the affected bulb(s) to ensure a secure connection. Try a different, known working bulb to rule out a faulty bulb. Clean the bulb contacts and the socket contacts gently with a dry cloth.
Light output is dim
Check the wattage of the installed bulbs; they should not exceed 10W per bulb. Ensure the bulbs are clean. If using dimmable bulbs, ensure the dimmer switch (if installed) is set appropriately.
