Troubleshooting
Bulb does not light up
Ensure the bulb is securely screwed into the BC B22 socket. Check that the light fixture is receiving power and that the circuit breaker is not tripped. Verify the bulb is not burned out (though LED lifespan is long, it's possible).
Bulb flickers
If dimming, ensure the dimmer switch is compatible with LED bulbs and is set appropriately. Check for loose connections in the fixture or wiring. Try the bulb in a different compatible fixture to rule out fixture issues.
Dimming is not smooth or effective
Confirm that your dimmer switch is rated for LED loads and is compatible with this specific dimmable bulb. Some older dimmer models may not work well with LED technology.
Light color is not as expected
Verify that the bulb's color temperature is 2700K (warm white). Ensure there are no other light sources with significantly different color temperatures in the same field of view that might create a perceived difference.
