FAQs
What type of fitting does this bulb have?
This bulb has an ES (Edison Screw) fitting, which is a standard screw-in base.
Is this bulb suitable for general room lighting?
Due to its reflector design that focuses light, it's best suited for task or accent lighting rather than general ambient room illumination, which typically requires a more diffused light source.
How many bulbs are included in a pack?
This product is supplied as a pack of 10 bulbs.
Can I use this bulb with a dimmer switch?
This specific bulb is not designed for use with dimmer switches. Using it with a dimmer may cause flickering or damage to the bulb or dimmer.
What is the wattage of this bulb?
The wattage of this bulb is 100W.
How should I clean the bulb?
Always ensure the bulb is switched off and cool. Gently wipe with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Troubleshooting
Bulb does not light up
Ensure the power to the fixture is on. Check that the bulb is screwed in securely but not overtightened. Verify the ES fitting in the fixture is clean and functional. Try the bulb in a different known working fixture to rule out a bulb defect.
Flickering light
Check the bulb's connection in the ES fitting; ensure it is seated correctly. If the issue persists, the problem may lie with the light fixture or its switch. Try a new bulb in the fixture.
Premature bulb failure
Ensure the light fixture's maximum wattage rating is not exceeded. Check for vibrations or excessive heat around the fixture, which can shorten bulb life. If multiple bulbs fail quickly, consult an electrician about the fixture's wiring.
