4. Maintenance

Maintaining your TORCHSTAR LED light bulbs is straightforward:

• Cleaning: Ensure the bulb is cool and the power is off before cleaning. Wipe the bulb with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials, as these can damage the bulb's surface or internal components.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your TORCHSTAR LED light bulbs, consider the following:

• Bulb Not Lighting Up:
  • Check if the power switch is on.
  • Ensure the bulb is screwed in securely into the socket.
  • Verify that the circuit breaker for the fixture is not tripped.
  • Test the bulb in another working fixture to rule out a faulty bulb.
• Flickering or Buzzing:
  • This often indicates incompatibility with the dimmer switch. Ensure your dimmer is specifically designed for LED bulbs.
  • Some older dimmer switches may not be compatible with LED technology, leading to performance issues. Consider replacing the dimmer with an LED-compatible model.
  • Ensure the bulb is not loose in the socket.
• Dim Light Output:
  • If using a dimmer, ensure it is set to the maximum brightness level.
