Troubleshooting

Bulb does not turn on

Flickering light

Check for a loose connection at the socket. If connected to a dimmer, ensure the dimmer is compatible and properly adjusted, or try bypassing the dimmer to test.

Short bulb lifespan

Avoid touching the glass with bare hands during installation. Ensure the bulb is not overheating due to poor ventilation in the fixture. Check that the fixture's wattage rating is not exceeded.

Bulb brightness seems low

Confirm the dimmer is set to full brightness. Check that the bulb is the correct wattage and type for the fixture. Ensure the bulb is clean.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure Power is Off: Before replacing any bulb, always turn off the power supply at the switch or circuit breaker.
  2. Allow Cooling: If replacing a bulb that was recently in use, allow it to cool down completely before touching.
  3. Handle with Care: Use a clean cloth or the original packaging to handle the new bulb. Avoid touching the glass directly with bare hands, as oils can reduce the bulb's lifespan and cause hot spots.
  4. Insert Bulb: Carefully insert the R7S 78mm bulb into the compatible fixture, ensuring it is securely seated.
  5. Restore Power: Turn the power back on and test the bulb.

Compatibility:

  • Socket Type: Compatible with R7S J28 fittings. Verify your fixture uses this specific type.
  • Fixture Type: Suitable for most fixtures designed for R7S 78mm bulbs, including indoor and outdoor applications. Check fixture specifications for maximum wattage and bulb type.
  • Dimmers: Fully compatible with standard dimmers designed for incandescent and halogen loads. Ensure your dimmer switch is rated for the bulb's wattage.

Care:

  • Cleaning: If cleaning is required, ensure the power is off and the bulb is cool. Gently wipe the glass with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
  • Ventilation: Ensure fixtures have adequate ventilation, as halogen bulbs do generate heat.
