Troubleshooting
Bulb does not light up
Ensure the power to the fixture is on. Check that the bulb is screwed in firmly. Test the bulb in another known working fixture or try a different bulb in the original fixture.
Bulb flickers
Check if the bulb is screwed in securely. If using a dimmer, ensure it is compatible with halogen bulbs and set to an appropriate level. Loose wiring in the fixture can also cause flickering.
