Troubleshooting
Lamp does not turn on
Verify that the electronic ballast has been correctly bypassed and the lamp is wired directly to the mains power. Check all electrical connections.
Flickering or intermittent light
Ensure secure wiring connections. Check if the mains voltage is stable. Confirm that the ballast bypass was performed correctly and no residual ballast components are interfering.
Lamp is not as bright as expected
Confirm the correct lamp model is installed. Ensure the color temperature (3000K) meets expectations. Verify the fixture is receiving stable mains voltage.
Lamp overheats
Check that the ambient operating temperature does not exceed 40°C. Ensure proper ventilation around the fixture and lamp. Verify correct installation and wiring.
