Troubleshooting

• Remote control not working: Ensure the remote is paired correctly (refer to 'Wireless Remote Control Pairing' in the Setup section). Check the remote's battery if applicable.
• Light unexpectedly changes brightness or turns off in extreme conditions: This is likely the temperature control protection activating. The light will return to normal operation once the temperature stabilizes.
