7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Paulmann 93741 LED Recessed Light, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Light Does Not Turn On:
- Check the main power supply and ensure the circuit breaker is on.
- Verify that the wall switch controlling the light is in the "on" position.
- Inspect electrical connections for looseness or damage (only if you are a qualified electrician and have turned off the main power).
- Light Flickers:
- Ensure the luminaire is not connected to a dimmer switch, as it is non-dimmable.
- Check for loose electrical connections (with power off).
- If flickering persists, contact a qualified electrician or Paulmann support.
- Reduced Light Output:
- Ensure the diffuser is clean and free from obstructions.
- LEDs naturally degrade slightly over their lifespan, but significant reduction in a short period may indicate an issue.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, contact Paulmann customer support or a qualified electrician.
