Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These bulbs are designed for standard screw-in (E27/Edison Screw) lamp holders. Simply unscrew the old bulb and screw in the new ValueLights LED bulb until snug. Ensure the power is switched off at the mains before replacing any bulb.
Compatibility:
- Voltage: Designed for standard household voltage (typically 230-240V).
- Base Type: Standard E27 screw base.
- Dimmability: These bulbs are dimmable, but for optimal performance, use with a compatible LED dimmer switch. Using with older incandescent dimmer switches may result in flickering or reduced lifespan.
- Fixtures: Ideal for open or semi-enclosed fixtures where the bulb's design can be appreciated. Avoid use in fully enclosed fixtures as heat buildup can reduce lifespan.
Care:
- Cleaning: Always ensure the bulb is cool and the power is off before cleaning. Wipe gently with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Handling: Handle bulbs by the base to avoid transferring oils from fingers to the glass, which can cause hot spots. The glass is tinted and designed for aesthetic effect, so avoid chipping or scratching.
