Troubleshooting
Bulb does not light up
Ensure the power is on and the bulb is correctly screwed into the E14 socket. Check if the fixture's switch is working. Verify that the bulb is not damaged.
Flickering light
Check for a loose connection in the E14 socket. Ensure the bulb is compatible with the fixture (e.g., not using with a dimmer). If flickering persists, the bulb may be faulty or the fixture may have an issue.
Light is too dim
Confirm the bulb's luminous flux (470 lm) meets your lighting needs. Ensure the fixture is clean and the bulb is fully screwed in. This bulb is equivalent to a 40W incandescent, so if higher brightness is needed, a higher lumen bulb should be considered.
Bulb doesn't fit the socket
Verify that your fixture uses an E14 (Small Edison Screw) cap. This bulb is not compatible with E27 or other cap types.
