• Indoor Use Only: Suitable for dry locations.
• Handle with Care: Allow the bulb to cool before handling if it has been in use.

Setup and Installation

Installing your GE Reveal HD LED 3-Way Light Bulb is a simple process. Ensure you have a compatible 3-way lamp or fixture with an E26 medium base socket.

1. Turn Off Power: Before installation, ensure the power to the lamp or fixture is completely turned off at the switch and, if possible, at the circuit breaker.
2. Remove Old Bulb: Carefully unscrew the old light bulb from the socket.
3. Insert New Bulb: Screw the GE Reveal HD LED 3-Way Light Bulb into the E26 medium base socket. Turn clockwise until it is finger-tight. Do not overtighten.

Operating Instructions

This 3-way light bulb provides three distinct brightness levels. The functionality is controlled by the 3-way switch on your lamp or fixture.

• First Click: Activates the lowest brightness setting (equivalent to 30W incandescent, 300 lumens).
• Second Click: Activates the medium brightness setting (equivalent to 70W incandescent, 850 lumens).
• Third Click: Activates the highest brightness setting (equivalent to 100W incandescent, 1140 lumens).
• Fourth Click: Turns the bulb off.

The GE Reveal HD LED technology filters out dulling yellow light, providing exceptional color contrast and whiter whites, making colors appear more vivid and vibrant. This makes it ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and craft or hobby spaces where clarity is important.

Maintenance

The GE Reveal HD LED 3-Way Light Bulb requires minimal maintenance.

• Cleaning: Ensure the power is off and the bulb is cool before cleaning. Wipe the bulb with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
• Replacement: This LED bulb has a long lifespan. Replace the bulb when it no longer illuminates or if its performance significantly degrades. Follow the "Setup and Installation" steps for replacement.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your GE Reveal HD LED 3-Way Light Bulb, try the following solutions:

• Bulb Does Not Light Up:
  • Ensure the power to the fixture is on.
  • Check if the bulb is screwed in securely.
  • Test the bulb in another working 3-way fixture to confirm it is not faulty.
  • Verify the fixture itself is working by testing with another known good bulb.
• Incorrect Brightness Sequence (e.g., 70W-100W-30W):
  • The intended sequence for this 3-way bulb is typically increasing brightness (30W → 70W → 100W).
  • Some older or non-standard 3-way lamp sockets may cycle through brightness levels in a different order. This is often due to the wiring or design of the fixture's switch, not a defect in the bulb.
  • If the sequence is consistently different from expected, it is likely a characteristic of your specific lamp or fixture.
• Flickering or Dimming:
  • Ensure the bulb is not used with a standard dimmer switch, as this bulb is not designed for dimming and may flicker.
  • Check for loose connections in the fixture or wall switch.
