- Ensure the power to the fixture is on at both the switch and the circuit breaker.
- Check that the bulb is securely seated in the socket. Remove and reinsert if necessary.
- Verify that the fixture is receiving the correct 120V AC power.
- Test the bulb in another known working fixture, if available, to determine if the issue is with the bulb or the fixture.
- Bulb Flickers:
- Ensure the dimmer switch, if used, is compatible with LED bulbs. Older incandescent-only dimmers may cause flickering.
- Check for loose connections in the fixture or wiring.
- Verify that the bulb is receiving stable 120V AC power. Power fluctuations can cause flickering.
- Incorrect Voltage Application:
- This bulb is designed for 120V AC. If installed in a 12V DC system, it will not function correctly and may be damaged. Always confirm your fixture's voltage requirements before installation.
