Troubleshooting
Bulb does not turn on.
Ensure the power is on and the bulb is screwed in securely. Check that the E14 socket is functional by testing with another compatible bulb. Verify the fixture is not connected to a dimmer switch, as these bulbs are non-dimmable.
Flickering light.
Flickering can sometimes occur if the bulb is not fully seated in the socket or if there is a loose connection in the fixture. Turn off the power, reseat the bulb, and check the fixture's wiring if possible. Incompatibility with certain fixture electronics, especially older ones, can also cause flickering; consider a different fixture if the problem persists.
Light is too dim for the intended area.
These bulbs have a luminous flux of 250 lm, equivalent to a 25W incandescent bulb. For areas requiring brighter illumination, consider using multiple fixtures or bulbs with a higher lumen output. Ensure the bulb is clean and the fixture is not obstructing too much light.
