FAQs

Can I use this bulb with a dimmer switch?
No, this bulb is not designed for use with dimmer switches. It relies on its internal sensor for automatic on/off control and may not function correctly or could be damaged if connected to a dimmer.
What is the color temperature and brightness of this bulb?
The bulb emits a soft white light with a color temperature of 2700K and a brightness of 810 lumens.
What is the lifespan of this LED bulb?
While specific hours are not provided, LED bulbs are known for their long lifespan compared to incandescent bulbs. This bulb is compliant with CE, RoHS, and FCC standards, indicating quality manufacturing.
Is this bulb suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, it is suitable for applications like porches and courtyards. However, it should be used in fixtures that offer some protection from direct rain and extreme weather conditions for optimal performance and longevity.
What is the warranty period?
The ProPOW Dusk to Dawn Light Bulb comes with a 12-month warranty.
What should I do if the bulb stops working within the warranty period?
If the bulb malfunctions within 12 months of purchase, please contact ProPOW customer support via email for assistance. They offer a 6-month money-back guarantee as well.
Troubleshooting
Bulb does not turn on at night.
Ensure the light fixture is receiving power. Check that the bulb is screwed in securely. Verify that the ambient light level is low enough to trigger the sensor; very bright streetlights or indoor lights nearby might prevent it from activating.
Bulb does not turn off during the day.
Check if the sensor is obstructed or dirty. Clean the sensor area. Ensure the ambient light is sufficiently bright to trigger the daytime shut-off.
Flickering or inconsistent operation.
This can sometimes occur with voltage fluctuations or if the bulb is not properly seated. Ensure a stable power supply and check the bulb's connection. Avoid using with dimmer switches or smart home devices that may alter power delivery.
Bulb seems dimmer than expected.
Verify that the correct wattage equivalent is being replaced (e.g., it's designed to replace a 60W incandescent). Ensure the bulb is clean and free from dust or film.
