Troubleshooting
Bulb does not turn on
Ensure the light switch is on. Check that the bulb is securely screwed into the E14 socket. Try the bulb in a different E14 compatible fixture to rule out a fixture issue. Verify that the power supply to the fixture is active.
Bulb flickers
If the bulb is dimmable, check that your dimmer switch is compatible with LED bulbs and correctly rated. Ensure the dimmer is not set to its minimum level, which can sometimes cause flickering. Loose connections in the fixture or dimmer can also cause flickering; consult an electrician if suspected.
Light output is too dim
This bulb has a luminous flux of 170 lm and a very warm color temperature (1800K), making it best suited for ambient or decorative lighting, not primary task lighting. Consider using it in fixtures where multiple bulbs are present or for accent purposes.
Bulb does not dim properly
Confirm that your dimmer switch is compatible with LED technology and rated for low wattage. Some older or incompatible dimmers may not function correctly with LED bulbs. Ensure the dimmer is set within its operational range.
