2. Safety Information

• WARNING: Risk of Electric Shock. Always turn off power to the fixture at the circuit breaker or fuse box before installing or removing the bulb.
• Do not use with dimmers unless the bulb is specifically rated for dimmer use.
• Do not use in enclosed fixtures unless the bulb is specifically rated for enclosed fixture use, as this can shorten bulb life.
• Avoid touching the bulb with bare hands during operation or immediately after turning off, as it can become very hot and cause burns.
• Ensure the bulb is securely screwed into the socket to prevent accidental dislodging.
• Dispose of broken bulbs safely according to local regulations.

Bulb Does Not Light Up:

• Check Connection: Turn off power, then carefully re-tighten the bulb in the socket to ensure a proper electrical connection.
• Inspect Bulb: Turn off power and remove the bulb. Check the filament for breakage. If the filament is broken, the bulb needs to be replaced.
