Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your downlight, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Light Does Not Turn On:
- Check if the power switch is in the ON position.
- Verify that the circuit breaker for the fixture is not tripped.
- Ensure the medium-based screw-in adapter is securely tightened into the housing socket.
- Confirm that the downlight is properly seated and making electrical contact within the housing.
- Light Flickers or Dims Incorrectly:
- Ensure you are using an LED-compatible dimmer switch. Older incandescent-only dimmers may cause flickering or improper dimming.
- Check for loose connections at the dimmer switch or the fixture.
- Light is Not Bright Enough:
- If using a dimmer, ensure it is set to the maximum brightness level.
- Verify that the fixture is receiving full 110V power.
