5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Sunco PAR38 LED bulbs, please refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Bulb Not Lighting Up:
  • Check if the power switch is on.
  • Ensure the bulb is securely screwed into the socket.
  • Verify that the circuit breaker for the fixture is not tripped.
  • Test the bulb in a different, known-working fixture to rule out a fixture issue.
• Flickering or Inconsistent Dimming:
  • Ensure your dimmer switch is compatible with LED bulbs. Older incandescent dimmers may cause flickering.
  • Adjust the dimmer's trim settings if available, as some LED dimmers allow for fine-tuning.
  • If flickering persists, try replacing the dimmer with an LED-compatible model.
• Reduced Brightness:
  • Confirm the dimmer setting is at 100% if full brightness is desired.
  • Ensure the bulb is not covered or obstructed, which can reduce light output.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact Sunco Lighting customer support for further assistance.
