Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on.
Check that the power supply is switched on at the mains. Ensure the bulbs are correctly installed and of the correct type (G9 LED, 3W Max). Verify all wiring connections are secure.
Light flickers or dims unexpectedly.
If using dimmable bulbs, ensure compatibility with the dimmer switch. Try replacing the bulbs, as a faulty bulb can cause flickering. Check for loose wire connections.

Gently tighten the fittings securing the glass globes. Ensure they are seated correctly before securing.
