Troubleshooting

Bulb does not turn on

Ensure the power supply to the fixture is on. Check that the bulb is screwed in correctly and securely into the B22 socket. Try the bulb in another known working fixture to rule out a bulb defect.

Flickering light

Ensure the bulb is seated correctly in the socket. If flickering persists, the fixture's wiring or socket may be faulty, or the bulb may be incompatible with the fixture (e.g., if the fixture is designed for a different bulb type).

Dim light output

Check that the bulb is fully screwed in. Ensure the fixture is receiving adequate power. Clean the bulb's surface as dust can reduce brightness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the light fixture is switched off and the power is disconnected.
  2. Carefully unscrew any existing bulb.

Compatibility:
