Troubleshooting
Lamp does not turn on
Check that the power is switched on. Ensure the lamp is securely seated in the GU10 socket and has been twisted to lock. Test the fixture with a known working bulb. Verify the circuit breaker for the relevant area is not tripped.
Flickering light
Ensure the lamp is fully seated in the socket. Check for any loose wiring in the fixture. If the lamp is part of a circuit with a dimmer switch, confirm compatibility or consider replacing the dimmer with a non-dimmable setup if the lamp is non-dimmable.
Reduced brightness over time
Ensure the lamp is not overheating due to poor ventilation in the fixture. Clean the lamp and fixture if dust accumulation is significant. LED performance is generally stable, but extreme heat can accelerate degradation.
