Troubleshooting

LED tube does not light up.

Check that the power supply is on. Ensure the tube is correctly seated in the G13 sockets. Verify that your existing ballast is compatible. If the issue persists, the ballast or starter (if applicable) may need replacement.

Flickering light.

Flickering can be caused by an incompatible or failing ballast. Consult your ballast's manual or a qualified electrician to ensure compatibility and proper function.

Reduced brightness over time.

LEDs naturally have a very gradual decrease in brightness over their lifespan. Check the lumen maintenance factor (94% after rated hours) for expected performance. Ensure the tube is clean and not obstructed.
