Troubleshooting

Bulb does not light up

Ensure the power is on. Check that the bulb is correctly screwed into the E27 socket. Verify the bulb itself is functional by testing it in another fixture. Confirm wiring connections are secure and correct.

Flickering light

This may be due to a loose bulb or a faulty bulb. Ensure the bulb is firmly seated. If using a dimmable bulb with a dimmer switch, ensure compatibility between the bulb, socket, and dimmer.

Socket feels warm during use

Some warmth is normal, especially with higher wattage bulbs. However, if it feels excessively hot, ensure you are not exceeding the maximum 60W rating and that the bulb is not in direct contact with flammable materials.
