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.

Fixture feels loose on the ceiling

Turn off power and re-secure the mounting screws or brackets according to the installation instructions. Ensure the ceiling material is suitable for mounting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This spotlight is compatible with all GU10 base reflector lamps with a maximum wattage of 10 watts per bulb. It requires a 230V input voltage and operates within a 50-60 Hz AC input frequency. It is suitable for indoor use only.

Care: To clean, always disconnect power. Wipe the fixture with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the metal finish. Ensure the spot heads remain free of dust for optimal light direction.
