Troubleshooting

Spotlight does not turn on

Check that the power supply is on and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Ensure the GU10 bulb is correctly seated in the socket and is functional. Verify all wiring connections are secure.

Light flickers or is dim

This may indicate a loose bulb connection or an incompatible bulb. Try reseating the bulb or replacing it with a new, compatible GU10 bulb. If dimming is intended, ensure the bulb and dimmer switch are compatible and correctly installed.

Spotlight turns off unexpectedly

The bulb may be overheating due to exceeding the maximum wattage or inadequate ventilation. Ensure the correct wattage bulb is used and that there is sufficient clearance around the spotlight. The thermal cut-out may have activated; allow it to cool down before attempting to restart.
