Troubleshooting
Lamp flickering or intermittent heat
Ensure the lamp is fully seated in the clips and check that the wiring terminals on the rear of the holder are tightened securely.
Difficulty inserting the lamp
Verify the lamp length is exactly 118mm and check the holder contacts for any debris or oxidation.
Visible cracks in the ceramic housing
The unit must be replaced immediately. A cracked holder can lead to electrical shorts or improper heat dissipation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure the power supply is completely disconnected before touching the internal wiring. The holder must be securely mounted to the fixture frame using the designated mounting points. When inserting the 118mm lamp, apply gentle, even pressure to ensure both ends seat firmly into the electrical contacts. To maintain the unit, regularly dust the ceramic housing with a dry, soft brush to prevent thermal insulation buildup. Avoid using liquid cleaners, as moisture may seep into electrical connections. Always inspect the ceramic body for hairline fractures during your routine monthly equipment audit.
