Troubleshooting
Bulb does not light up
Check that the power supply is on and the bulb is screwed in securely. Ensure the B22 fitting is receiving power and try a different bulb in the same fitting to rule out fixture issues.
Bulb flickers when dimmed
This usually indicates incompatibility with the dimmer switch. Ensure you are using an LED-compatible dimmer and that it is correctly rated for the bulb's wattage. Try adjusting the dimmer setting or consulting the dimmer's manual.
Bulb is too bright or too dim even at maximum dimmer setting
Verify that the dimmer switch is suitable for LED bulbs and is properly installed. Some older dimmers may not offer a full range of control with LED technology.
Bulb makes a buzzing sound
A buzzing sound can also indicate dimmer incompatibility or a faulty dimmer. Ensure the dimmer is rated for LEDs and is securely installed. Try a different dimmer if the issue persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the power supply is switched off at the mains before attempting to install or remove the bulb. Screw the bulb into a standard B22 bayonet fitting. If using the dimming feature, ensure the light fixture is connected to a compatible LED dimmer switch.
Compatibility: This bulb is designed for B22 bayonet fittings. It is dimmable, but requires a dimmer switch specifically rated for LED loads. Using a non-compatible dimmer may result in flickering, buzzing, or reduced bulb lifespan. Check your existing dimmer's compatibility or consult an electrician if unsure.
Care: To clean the bulb, switch off the power and allow the bulb to cool down completely. Wipe gently with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the polycarbonate cover. Ensure the bulb is not exposed to excessive moisture.
